I'm a single guy that does almost all my own cooking. Mostly beans, soups, and chicken.

These pressure cookers, (at sea level) speed up the cooking times dramatically!. Also, for reheating leftovers, its great!

Last night, I found a store bought rotisserie chicken that was half eaten and 6 days old in the frig, most would throw it out. Not me! Pop it in the pressure cooker, add a little water, can of Mushroom soup, bring up to pressure (15psi) for 5 mins, damn it was good!

Dry beans: hot soak one hour, drain, add cold water, bullion cube, cayenne pepper, onion power, ketchup, cumin. Bring to pressure, cook 7 mins, take off heat and put in sink of cold water to cool, done. Store in frig in the pot for a week of easy meals ;-)

Read instructions on over filling,,, DON'T!

I use an electric one that I can set the temperature.

SIL was using the pressure cooker yesterday to make chile beef as a quick snack for guests.

BTW best not to buy a pressure cooker at a yard sale that has a bulge in the bottom.

Mostly beans? Maybe there is a reason your single?

I haven't used one for 30 years but I may go out and buy one today. I forgot about how versatile they are. These were the microwaves of the 1920’s or ‘30’s.

Always buy one that will fit 2 possums or armadillos, depending on your location.

Try a Korned beef in one. Delicious. I do my pea beans in a pressure cooker before I bake them. Really tender.

Yeah, but can you burn popcorn in one?

[cripplecreek]

I use mine for canning.

I have found it difficult to find cook books specifically for pressure cookers. There are thousands for crock pots and slow cookers but not for pressure cookers. Anyone have any recommendations?

Now here is a tip. put the chicken in the pressure cooker and when its done roast it in the oven

Broasted chicken! Its awesome!

Once upon a time, a Prince asked a beautiful Princess...
“Will you marry me?”

The Princess said “NO!”

And the Prince lived happily ever after,ate beans, and rode motorcycles and went fishing and hunting and played golf and dated women half his age and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up .

The End

Amen

Forgot to add that I put a half teaspoon of baking soda in the hot soak. Flatulent free beans ;-)

PS, Did I say anything about being abstinent? ;->

[duckln]

Yes. Try it. We did it years ago. The kernels all pop and won't burn as the temp can be regulated.

[denfurb]

hahahahaha
...and they both lived happily ever after ;)

I wish I had the guts to put oil in a preasure cooker. But I am a coward.
