So on occassion I've used a pressure cooker, but not vey often. Seems it is great for making stew.

It is supposed to be great for it is supposed to cook things in 70% less time (and energy) ? That would be ideal for cooking on a boat.

Problem is I never see any recipes written for Pressure Cookers nor have I seen a cookbook for pressure cookers.

So who has some great pressure cooker recipes to share ????

Thanks in advance. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

We use ours alot. It's perfect to make a quick dinner with meat & veggies. Clean up is a breeze too, just one pot.

recently bought some slow cooker cookbooks and remember seeing some for pressure cookers. these 2 got great reviews on amazon, where i buy most of my cookbooks. i find the prices generally cheaper than barnes & noble and also overstock.

Now, that's where I need some hints. My vision of pressure cooking is the lid being stuck in the ceiling......SERIOUSLY! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" /> My mom did that when I was young and I never forgot it. Apparantly, she didn't tighten the lid properly.....although I'd heard other ceiling stories so I know I wasn't alone.
I'm sure they've come a long way but the word still gives me the creeps. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

You do have to make sure the hole is clear before you put the rocker on and turn on the heat. The lid is locked so it's the rocker that shoot off then all the liquid inside comes out like a fountain. The trick is to get the rocker moving and then turn the heat down enough to keep it rocking.

I remember my Mother blowing her white beans all over the ceiling. LOL! that was a good laugh.

There should be lines marked inside the pot for that show the amount of water you need.

We add meat(chicken, pork or beef), potatos, carrots, onions, salt & pepper and cook. It's simple and fast.

You can also do all kinds of beans with salt pork. Just don't forget the corn bread. Of course that's southern thing.

I have an old Presto... that was my grandmothers from maybe the 50's...
anyway, it has a rocker weight that has three different sized holes to put on the pot...
One each for 5, 10 & 15 pounds pressure...
it's pretty slick...

Na... it's about a 6qt. one... but a classic for sure!
I could can, but only about 4 (maybe 5) jars at a time...
I make jams all the time (peach, strawberry, blueberry), and use a big old pot I have (actually it's a turkey frier pot)... so I can do like 10 jars at a time...

Good idea with the turkey fryer. We use the turkey fryer for crab legs and shrimps. Make more and no smell in the house.

Yummy!
