I will admit that I do not like to cook-takes too long to cook, too short to eat and too long to clean up!.
With that being said, I will try to find shortcuts to put dinner on the table. I have a pressure cooker that I have used for 35 years. I say used very lightly. I use it for a few things and tend to use the slow cooker for a lot more. Why, I don't know. The pressure cooker is faster and things come out usually better. When I saw this book up for review.. I grabbed it and have thoroughly enjoyed it. It has shown me a whole new way to use my pressure cooker. I have an old style used on the stove and this book shows both stove top and electric machine uses. The cool thing is...over 500 recipes and lots of photos in the middle of the book.
I never knew I could cook dried beans in the pressure cooker, oh what a time saver that is. The authors have shown me tricks and shortcuts to use. I will be trying the Apple Maple Oatmeal recipe this week which takes only 12 minutes to prepare. Now, that is how I like to cook!
I will be using my pressure cooker more, thanks to this cookbook, and my slow cooker less. My advice is to get a pressure cooker, don't be afraid of it, and get this cookbook. You will be in for a treat and a whole new way of cooking..fast, that is.
Thanks to Blogging for Books for this free copy just for my honest opinion.
