Presto 8-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker |
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: Worth the price, be brave and try it out
Comments: My wife insisted on getting a pressure cooker, I just did not see a use for it. Finally gave in and tried it out.
1st use - Red Bean & taro sweet soup - usually red beans has to soak in water for about 6-8 hours, and cook for about 2 hours. We did the cooking without soaking the beans, pressure cook for 10 minutes with slow cool down. WOW, it was perfect, the beans cooked thoroughly.
2nd time - Black glutinous rice w/ coconut milk - this type of rice is difficult to cook, takes forever. 24-36 hours of presoak, and couple hours in the rice cooker. I have never sucessfully cooked it before, this time with the pressure cooker, it was SUCCESS!!!! This is a heavenly dessert, my diet is completely thrown out the window.
Why you have to be brave? When we started using it, really do not know what we were doing. Accidentally poked the rubber lid while pressure was building and it shot up and stem blew out like crazy, thought it was going to blow up. lol Had to read the instructions carefully before using it. After 1 use, you will get the idea, almost all items takes 10-15 min to cook and slow cool down. |

Summary: As great as expected
Comments: Pretty darn great product,(wish it were American made). Simple to use, I would highly endorse Lorna Sass's cookbook to go with it. Her instructions for using PC much clearer than manufacture's, and also has great basic recipes with many easy variations. Have been using it for quick and healthy meals after work. Meat loaf and potatoes cooked in same pot in 10 minutes WOW. Barley soup in 15, big energy saving also. |

Summary: This pressure cooker works great!!!!!!
Comments: I have been using this pressure cooker for over a month now and love the convenience and quality. I have cooked several chuck roasts with wonderful results in a 1/4 of the time it usually takes when cooking the conventional way. I have also cooked pork roasts with great results. I can not really think of anything I do not like about it. I am looking forward to making soups, etc,. |
