Same for crockpots (slow cookers) of which I am a specialist. The
difference is I can add a veggie 'midway in the cooking' but with a pressure
cooker that's not gonna happen while at pressure.

I have a pressure canner for small jobs, but find it useless for any other
sort of cookery for *my* habits.
