I was scared to death of the one we had when I was a kid. I don't know how we got it but I was the only one in my family that used it. The truth is that those things don't operate at a very high pressure. They are less than half the pressure of properly inflated car tires. I don't want a multi-cooker because that's just more clutter in the kitchen but I'd certainly spring for a cheap aluminum if I could use it on my range. It won't work on my range because it's an induction range and aluminum does not work on it. Unfortunately, the steel ones are too expensive for me. That's the breaks. |

People that dis pressure cookers are folks that don't know how to use them. I don't know nothing about the new multi-pots. I suppose I'd use them if someone gave me one. ![]() |

For full 5 sense veneration of the female of our species no sexual act surpasses cunnilingus! That's what I love about eating pussy, the sight, smell, taste, sound and tactile all at once!

I wonder what kinds of things it does that a pressure cooker can't do Ophelia. Curious, and this is just one persons opinion, but it makes me wonder. https://www.thekitchn.com/i-tried-th...missing-242961 |

I wonder what kinds of things it does that a pressure cooker can't do Ophelia. Curious, and this is just one persons opinion, but it makes me wonder. https://www.thekitchn.com/i-tried-th...missing-242961 == Thanks for that, I have saved it to read properly later. I am hoping Nellie will report back too. |

As you read through you'll see they say 'Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker' The important thing about these recipes is to get the hang of the cooking times for a combo dish that uses pasta https://temeculablogs.com/pressure-c...gna-casserole/ If you have a pressure cooker I am sure you already know how to do meats, stews, soups, fruits and vegetables.

When you make something cheesy that would be an advantage. I bet they also have the ability to keep warm and that means they could also function as a slow cooker. I don't like the electronic ones because by sitting on my counter top they are really too high up for me to work with. I like my stove top cooker. Janet US |

As I got older I took over the dinner preparation. The mechanism and implementation for this was not known to me and happened so slowly as to be imperceptible to my developing brain. I would come home from school and make a pot roast. The pressure cooker made it very fast. I have a lot of fondness for them. The ignorant will dis this vessel because well, that's what the ignorant do best. My parents had more important things to do than make food. My dad was building military installations on places like Guam, Midway, and Kwajalein. I can't say what my mom was doing for the Army but it involved computers. My dad said she had a higher security clearance than his. Neither of them brought their work home with them but that's just as well - it could have gotten them arrested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPbxyLxem7E |

Hee hee. As far as these multi-cookers goes, they might work better in your land. Most appliances will operate better over there because your stuff has nearly twice the power available than ours does. We held back against the Brit invasions twice so we should have gotten the super turbo power system and you should be stuck with ours. Hee hee. |

Google for Pressure cooker cakes Pressure cooker pasta recipes Pressure cooker casseroles Pressure cooker lasagna Pressure cooker mac and cheese (be sure to read the sidebars that link to other pressure cooker recipes) You should be able to pick up some ideas that apply to you. As always, if a recipe calles for a sauce in a jar or can, or if it calls for so many ounces of ready made stock or so many ounces of a creamed soup, or canned vegetables or broth concentrate, you know that you are able to substitute fresh, or home made items.

I think they should make ovens that can be pressurized. The rational for this is that you can cook the cake in a steamy environment rather than a vented on resulting in a moister cake. The added pressure will also prevent collapsing of the cake when cooling it down. As we all know, hot air will contract when cooled. If the air is pressurized, you might be able to counteract this effect. This bears investigation. |

Hee hee. As far as these multi-cookers goes, they might work better in your land. Most appliances will operate better over there because your stuff has nearly twice the power available than ours does. We held back against the Brit invasions twice so we should have gotten the super turbo power system and you should be stuck with ours. Hee hee. == ;p |
