Do you use a pressure cooker for some of your cooking?

my mum used to use one when i was little,but i don't have one,i use a slow cooker which i love,i can put the meat and veg in at 11am and then leave it til when ever anyones hungry at teatime,the meat is soft and perfectly cooked and the veg is lovely,i'd be lost withoout my slower cooker

I've heard of pressure cookers I'm not familiar with how they work exactly... nor do I know anyone with one. Very interesting that it's a time and energy saver, I may have to look further into how to use one.

Pressure cooker is a must in our cooking. I can cook anything in short time and it cooks so well too. Everyday we use pressure cooker for something or other. Even the vitamins are saved by cooking in a pressure cooker. In our families, in the marriage of the daughter, pressure cooker of two sizes, one 10 ltrs. and the other 5 ltr. is given to the bride as this is a priority item to start a new life.

Aren't those things dangerous? Nope, I don't have one...

Hi, I do not use pressure cooker in my cooking,but sometimes I will use slow cooker to stew chicken or pork,it makes the meat so tender and I can save the gas,then I no need to keep monitoring the dish whether it will get burn or not. As long as I put adequate water to cover the meat,set the mode(eith low or high),left it there cook for 3-4 hours, It is definitely yummy and taste delicious. My mum do bought me a pressure cooker and I am yet to try it out. Every day I will cook for my family. My husband prefer home-cooked dishes. I seldom cook those fried foods, I prefer stir-fried,steam and stew. More healthy in a way.

Yes....I use pressure cooker for cooking because it is the best while we making meat,food,or other trips it get ready very fast more over we save time and gas. But we have to careful with this, it is dangerous if we are not used properly. I think pressure is fast food machine while compare with other.

I haven't got a pressure cooker but would like to try cooking with one as it makes stews and things like that faster and using less electricity. I've heard you have to remember to let the pressure out first or the food ends up on the ceiling though, maybe modern pressure cookers have a fail safe so you can't do that though.

I have not used a pressure cooker than often in my life. I usually only use a pressure cooker when I am canning something. I know my grandmother used a pressure cooker often when she was cooking.

I love using the pressure cooker for cooking most of my foods for it is a very quick way in enjoying food that takes over 8 hours to cook using other slow methods

i love using the pressure cooker its a very quick way to prepare meals that usually take about 3-4 hours to prepare such as tough meats. The end result is juicey tender succulent meat that is filled with flavours. My mother only uses the pressure cooker when she is preparing her three pot meat stew.

I love cooking a variety of dishes but I used to be scared of using the pressure cooker even if the rest of my family would do so. And since I am always the assigned cook for our family gatherings and occassions, I decided that I have to overcome this fear. My dad slowly introduced to me the safe way to handle the pressure cooker and from then on, I was cooking away with it. My nieces love my chili con carne with red kidney beans. I remember, I would soak the beans overnight in water but it would still take a long time to soften this yummy beans. Now it takes 20 minutes to do so. I can cook different dishes using the tripe like callos and our native kare-kare in 25 minutes. Even the pochero, I can do in a shorter time now. I used to be the last to dress up for our parties because I would patiently wait for the beef stew to slowly cook. But even with the pressure cooker at hand, I would still simmer the dish for another 10 minutes or so to make the meat absorb all the other ingredients and spices that I put in. Yummmm!

ya i use it for cooking sumthing past ...mostly the times when i have a party at my place.

Yes,it belong to kitchen things,i like to cook food in pressure cooker because it is very Delicious to have a food which is cook in pressure cooker.when there is no light at home then i am using pressure cooker to cook my food.Ya! it really save our electricity charge and also it is very faster to cook food which can save our time.

i oftent cook meal for my family. and i love cooking. i can cook a lot of dishes. i often use a pressure cooker because it very useful. it take less time than i use another cooker. i cant make lots of dish with ten minutes.

I've never used a pressure cooker before. However, my aunt does use her's when she's storing meat in jars. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but I've heard you have to be careful with the cookers. They can be dangerous if they're not used correctly.

I have never used a pressure cooker in all my years of cooking. I guess i'm just an old timey cook. I don't ever use a crock pot either. I'm just very set in my ways of doing things, lol. I have used a crock pot but never a pressure cooker.

Pressure cooker is really the best especially for cooking stews. They make the meat tenderer without having to overcook your vegetables. And of course, they do save time and gas.

I use a pressure cooker for many things,it saves so much time.The pressure cooker is the original 'fast food' machine. The fast cooking action of pressure cooker can cut the cooking time to just a third of the cooking time of conventional cooking methods, and that's time you can spend on other activities. You can do a beef stew in 15 minutes and also the meat comes out so much more tender :)

Yes since it makes cooking stews convenient with the added convenience of tenderizing tough cuts of meats. With pressure cooker cooking time is always cut into half.
