I love my Pressure Cooker too. Hubby taught me to use it when we were first married. I was afraid of them, thought it would explode. But it makes the BEST mashed potatoes I've ever had.

Sounds like a great pot to have. I've thought about getting an electric pressure cooker for years. What brand does everyone enjoy? I have a friend that puts in frozen meats and they come out tender. That's pretty amazing!

Salgal, that's great news. Anything that helps us get well cooked food on the table with less effort is a good thing :)

Toni, I love my Fagor multi-function. It has a silicone gasket that I think all pressure cookers manufacturers should start using. I was looking for a new slow cooker when I bought it, I had stove top pressure cookers, but it turns out to be my favorite kitchen appliance. I think it has fewer settings than Salgal's Instant Pot, Fagor has two temps pressure, two temps slow, brown, keep warm, rice, delay cook. It didn't come with a steam basket like hers but has a little lower price tag.

I'm not one to buy the newest kitchen gimmicks, the electric pressure cookers don't fall into that category ;) Just don't try to can in it, wouldn't be good for that.

It looked like a real beauty...I have several of the old fashioned on top of the stove pots but would love one of the new electric....

I know I love my Aroma cooker, it's not labeled as a pressure cooker but does a lot of the same stuff. I love that you can brown the meat in it and add everything close it and forget it.

I really liked the look of the one you got. I was sure you would love it.

I have a Magefesa pressure cooker, I use it at least twice a week and the results are sooo tender and delish!

I've used mine as an "open" canner , to heat jars of pickles. I set the jars in the PC, then fill with water up nearly to the rims and boil.

If you love your PC you might want to try my favorite recipe.

Mine is stove top. Great roast for pulled pork.

Kathig-in-mi - any chance your German Potato Salad would work without the bacon? We do not have any religious reasons for not eating bacon - just health ones. My maternal grandmother had gout - guess who got it? My cholesterol and blood pressure are excellent but I know what happens if I eat bacon - but then there is my husband - who doesn't gain weight - but his cholesterol is iffy. So no bacon in this house. The only potato salad I like is German - I don't use mayo in anything. Thanks for your help.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. Maybe put a little oil in the pot. What about turkey bacon? That's all my DH eats.

I have a Presto electric pressure cooker. My MIL always had one. Mine was a stove top one. I blew it up twice and decided that was enough. I love the electric one.. I cook my roasts for veggie soup in mine. So tender.

Thanks kathyg_in_mi

I will give it a try. Of course I will need to buy an electric pressure cooker. I too remember the ones of old that often blew up - or the lids hit the ceiling.

I used an old stove top one from my Mom for 40 years. 2 years ago I bought myself the electric one. Really do like it.
