I already put the mashed potatoes into OXO containers and put the Pot directly into MDB7979SHZ0. I did not think to take before and after pictures. Sorry.

Not to hijack the thread, but how do you pressure cook with oil? It's the steam that builds pressure, with oil you're not going to get that.
Matt,
I believe that you still get steam in a pressure cooker when cooking with oil. The moister in the frying food is escaping. With a tightly closed vessel the steam is still trapped and the heat is more intense than just cooking in an open pan. It’s been so long ago, 1967 to be exact when I tried to fry chicken in a PC that I really don’t remember exactly how much oil I used, but somehow I’m visualizing that is was about 1/2’” above the top of the chicken pieces. Anyway, it was nasty! And I already knew how to fry chicken well on the stove, and would just have the oil halfway up the sides of thee chicken, which works fine when you can turn the pieces over.

Pressure frying chicken, etc.
Most of the regular pressure cookers I have all worn against trying to pressure fry in them they’re not designed for doing that.
You can buy a Wherever chicken bucket. I think there’s other cookers that do the same thing where you do pressure cook in oil, I have two of these wherever chicken buckets and I’ve used them numerous times they work great turn out a really nice chicken product and other foods, very much like KFC.

The Wearever PC that I used was a wedding gift to my parents in 1948. I followed the recipe in the book that came with it. The lid fit inside the pan and there was a lever that you pressed down to expand the lid to fit snugly inside the pan firmly under the lip of the pan. I don’t think that these were made for too many years.
Any other PC that I’ve owned did recommend not using them for frying, and I would have to agree with that after the results I had frying chicken.
John’s Wearever Chicken bucket looks like the lid is very securely attached to the pan and would be safe for pressure frying. If it works well for him then great. I always thought KFC Original Recipe tasted very good. I’m sure it’s the technique that makes the difference.
