Book Reviews of Pressure Cookers For Dummies
Book Review: A Dummy is Grateful
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book before I bought a pressure cooker. My mother had used a big canner to cook meat and while I remembered keeping an eye on the pressure gauge, I wasn't knowledgeable about pressure cooking. I didn't know about how to set up the cooker, I didn't know what to look for, I didn't have any recipes, etc.
Anyway, I made a really sound decision. I would recommend that anyone buy this book before starting out. (In reading some of the reviews, it's very obvious that the people don't know what they are doing. But enough of that.) For example, a cooker should steam gently while it is cooking, people with electric stoves should use the two-burner method and the rubber gasket must be treated gently. It is ideally washed in warm water, dried carefully and oiled, placed in the lid and the lid stored upside down to prevent compression on the gasket when it's not being used.
I did look on YouTube for videos showing how the pressure cooker behaved, and it was useful.
I am making the Master Bean Recipe for dinner tonight. It is inexpensive and very tasty. Happy pressure cooking.
