One of the best things you can do with a pressure cooker — besides having 4lbs of carrots and parsnips ready to puree in under 8 minutes — is to make pot roast. Throw in the brisket or the chuck roast, add carrots, onion, celery, potatoes and herbs of your choice, [plus liquid for the gravy, including a bit of wine if you like] and pot roast is ready in about 30 minutes! I have even taken my meat out of the deep freeze and put it directly into the cooker with the veggies and liquid for the gravy. It will take one hour to cook from frozen, but in the oven, a defrosted one takes three hours to bake. Quite a time saver!

I love my pressure cookers and love finding more uses for it. Thanks for a very informative post. I have several recipes on my site that I've tried or want to try that you can check out if you want. I also love cooking hard boiled eggs in mine - they are so easy! And beans and grains, etc. etc. http://healthyfamilycookin.blogspot.com/search?q=pressure+cooker

I am so scared of my pressure cooker. For some reason I always think that I’m going to blow my kitchen up.

It’s great to hear that you love your pressure cooker. I love all of mine.
I have been teaching people how to pressure cook successfully for more than 15 years. Most people are amazed at how wonderfully quick and easy it is to make great food.
In addition to beans and grains, you can make soup, stew, chili, 3-minute steel cut oats and even dessert.
I just wrote a book on pressure cooking called The New Fast Food: The Veggie Queen Pressure Cooks Whole Food Meals in Less than 30 Minutes. Perhaps you’d like your own PDF copy and one to give away. Just let me know.
