 Bring the Pressure Cooker Back for Busy Moms! May 30, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This cookbook has some great 1 pot meals for busy moms. And they are not boring! There are some great ethnic recipes including Moroccan Stew and Chicken Curry. I never used a pressure cooker before, but in the last 2 months I have used it at least once a week. It forces me to try new recipes and that makes dinner much more interesting.
A Compleat Guide to Pressure Cooking. May 3, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As a newcomer to pressure cooking this book has served as informative guide as well as a source of recipes that are simple and fast to make. Wildly inaccurate cooking times for those of us living at higher elevations but it's easy to adjust for that.
This is a very good first book for a new pressure cooking devotee like myself.
 Good Book for Jumping Off April 9, 2008

This book has recipes in it, but even better, it has instructions for variations on the recipes. It's a good basic book that shows you how to improvise and have fun with your cooker.
Not what I'd hoped for March 11, 2008
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
I'd hoped for a good old-fashion pressure cookery resource, with basic, clear and handy instructions and guidlines on timing & liquid amounts. My guess is that most cooks who use pressure cookers are simply looking for a quicker way to get dinner on the table, adapting their own commonly used recipes. This book is not representative of the 'grandma's kitchen' type of pressure cookery that I was personally looking for.
The first 20 and last 20 pages offer a lot of helpful information though (especially for the novice PC cook) including the different types of pressure cookers, where to get them, how to use them, timing charts for meats, grains, beans and rice. For many this may balance what I felt the book was laking - just basic pressure cookery instructions and good old-fashioned recipes.
