Can you put oxtails in a pressure cooker
? Yes, and it’s probably the best (and fastest) way to cook them. You can cook oxtail on the stove what we’ve done before, but you can’t just set it up and forget it like that. It gets pretty cute that way, but it takes quite a while. The oxtail in the oven requires a little less attention using a Dutch oven.
No matter which method you decide to use, you need to add herbs and seasonings to the outside, otherwise it is a strong meat flavor. Not that that’s bad, but you’ll usually want to make up for it with at least a little salt and pepper.

How to cook frozen oxtails
Surprisingly, it doesn’t really make any difference whether they’re straight from the freezer or fresh or thawed. The same goes for whether you’re cooking them slowly or on your IP. Any of the oxtail recipes have enough time to steam so that they thaw quickly and then start cooking to make them tender.

- It is used inside a pressure cooker stew as the protein works very well. You can add everything after following these instructions or just the meat.
