Guest guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 I'm a long standing cook. But, I disabled now and some days I wouldn't be able to put a meal on the table without my pressure cooker or crock pot. I swear by both of them. They are my main standbys.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Thanks for the tip! Making veggie stock is on my 'to do' list & a pressure cooker would be the way to go. If it ever cools off around here I want to make a big pot of soup! The temperature is 84 & feels like 90 @ 7:00p.m. tonight in Arkansas.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 If anyone uses a pressure cooker, I would appreciate it if you would tell me which brand and material you like. Also, if you cook beans in it, do you soak them first? Thanks. Daisy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 I've had several brands, but the one I like best and that's lasted the longest is a Kuhn Rikon brand. Unfortunately, it's also the most expensive. Whatever brand you get, I recommend stainless steel and a second generation (non jiggle-top) construction. I usually either soak the beans or do a quick-soak (bring to high pressure, turn off the heat, and soak for 15 minutes.) You can cook them without soaking, but I'm used to doing it this way and like the results.

I usually don't think to soak the beans, and they come out fine. The texture is a little better if I soak them first, I think, but not enough to worry about.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Hi Gang - I use two old-fashioned Presto, jiggle-top pressure cookers. I have for years. I got them used at garage sales, replaced the seals and was off and running. I think they work great and for the money, I am quite happy with them. I do presoak my beans overnight - although sometimes I top them with boiling water for 1 hour if I forget to soak them overnight. As a question, I often hear people say they like the newer pressure cookers better. Can you fill me in on why? Do they have some features that the old Prestos don't that really make them worth the extra money. Thanks for your insights!

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I like mine because it's quiet and I don't have to listen to the steam hissing in order to know if it's at pressure. There's a pop-up indicator that tells when it gets to low and high pressure. My biggest problem with the Fagor I had was I was never completely certain when it was at high pressure, so I was constantly undercooking things. Plus, as I mentioned, it's quiet, and I have an allergy to noise. ;-) Susan -------------Susan VoisinFatFree Vegan Kitchenhttp://blog.fatfreevegan.com------------- - rane4rane Wednesday, October 08, 2008 7:27 PM Re: Pressure Cooker Hi Gang - I use two old-fashioned Presto, jiggle-top pressure cookers.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I can't remember which brand I have. All I know is that it was the best 30$ I've ever invested -next to my slow cooker! I highly recommend the book Great Vegetarian Cooking Under Pressure (Hardcover) by Lorna J. Sass (Author) http://www.amazon.com/Great-Vegetarian-Cooking-Under-Pressure/dp/0688123260/ref=\ pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8 & s=books & qid=1223555385 & sr=1-1 There are tons of recipes that are easy and super yummy. She also lists all beans and the cooking time etc. (She recommends soaking them prior to cooking, but you can also do a method where you quick soak them in the pressure cooker!) Hope that helps!

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Well I'm a recent vegetarian convert.... I have a pressure cooker that I LOVE and have cooked many a meal in it.... I've wondered about cooking beans... Years ago I used to make Lentils in it with tomatoe sauce and garlic.... I've forgotton how to do that.... Anyone have any ideas for how to cook in it let me know. I purchased my fav pressure cooker from Amazon.com I just looked and don't see mine listed. When I get home I'll check the brand and let you know. Timothy "The brick walls are there for a reason.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I have the " All American " canner and love it. It is gasket-less, has a pressure gauge and is easy to use. They can be purchased all over the internet. I also put up potatoes, green beans, corn and onions with my pressure canner. The beauty of this is that dinners are ready in a flash and during power outages, voila, dinner is quick and easy to prepare.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Hi, one of the best things I can recommend is to go to youtube and put pressure cooker beans into the search. You will be amazed how much you can learn about cooking beans this way. One of the recipes is a lady making cuban black beans. I followed the video directions and it turned out so fantastically. I thought it might taste a bit boring because there weren't many ingredients, but it was yummy and everyone asked me to make it again. The lady on the video made it look easy and it certainly was. There are lots of videos there though, and just watching them gives much confidence in useing the cooker.
