Stainless Steel 4-quart Pressure Cooker
Here's the real ticket to "fast food" without guilt—it is even faster than a microwave for some foods. I don't know how I'd get along without my pressure cooker! This is a one-time investment that will last your entire cooking career. Cook healthy, flavorful meals in one tenth of the time, saving time, energy and fuel costs! You'll save 70% of the energy normally used on cooking a meal, plus keep your house cooler in the summer or use less fuel in case of emergency. You can also save money by purchasing less tender cuts of meat, as pressure cooking tenderizes meats, as well as preserving flavors and nutrients. This 4 quart size is ideal for daily use, as it is large enough to make potatoes for a family of 8, or cook up a batch of chili. This is top quality stainless steel from the Presto company with a special bi-metal base to ensure even heating. Comes with a 64 page instruction and recipe book. Includes special round rack for cooking several foods at once without intermingling flavors. 12 year warranty. An investment well worth making! Rated #1 by the American Culinary Institute!
Note: I do not recommend the cheaper aluminum pressure cookers. Aluminum is not safe to cook in, especially with acidic foods such as tomato based soup or chili, as it leaches aluminum into the food. Choose stainless steel for excellent health and a very quality, top-performing pressure cooker.

New technology makes pressure cooking absolutely safe and simple! You don't have to have special instructions or technique for cooking with a pressure cooker. It is so easy to use! Once you try it, you will be so amazed at how fast you can make dinner! You can use all your favorite recipes too.
Here's how:
Fill the pressure cooker just like you would if cooking without pressure, just adding the food and the same amount of liquid. Then put the lid on and put the pressure regulator on top. Turn on the stove and let the pressure build over high heat. When the pressure regulator begins to "rock" back and forth, turn the heat down just to the point that it keeps rocking (about medium high) and start timing:
Potatoes: 10 minutes
Yams: 8 minutes
Dry beans: 35 minutes
(Dry beans cost 1/4 of the price of canned beans)
When the timer rings, just put the pressure cooker under cold running water until the pressure drops. I just put mine in the sink and let the water run over it. When pressure has dropped to normal, then open the lid and serve. You will be amazed how this cuts cooking time off your busy schedule! You can make potatoes for dinner in about the same amount of time it takes to make up instant potatoes, but with much better flavor, freshness and nutrition! |
