I love my pressure cooker.

Like many specialized kitchen appliances,
it does a few things very very well.
fork-tender pot-roasts with great gravy,
beans, some stews..

Replace the "rocker" with a heat resistant tube,
and you can even distill your own booze... ( I've been told )

I don't understand the tales of kitchen disasters.
There are safety pressure releases,
and, once up to pressure. it'd take a gorilla to open the lid.

Periodically, KMART has one on sale for $19.95.
Invest a twenty if you want to experiment.
