My K-R is a stove-top, 5 qt SS. The more I learn about p/c'ing, the
more I use it. Mom had an electric, but I couldn't find the manual
nor figure it out, so tossed it.

I won't p/c beans even though that's why I purchased the p/c in the
first place and at 8K ft elev, beans really do need to be p/c'd.
Unfortunately, beans turn out with a gummy texture I jes do not like,
so I jes boil dried beans for 2-4 hrs and they come out perfect.

I really like to p/c meat. Comes out sooo tender and flavorful,
depending on the cut. I won't p/c chuck, too fatty. I won't p/c
center round. It NEVER! gets tender. Tri-tip is a great p/c cut for
beef bourguignon. It gets nice and tender and is very flavorful.
I've yet to try pork for carnitas, yet, but plan to.
