I am passionate about pressure cooking! I often say that learning how to use a pressure cooker has changed my cooking life. I am a huge advocate of this type of cooking because it allows you to prepare healthy, fresh, tasty, fast, home cooked foods, after a little bit of practice, easily! And the key word here is "practice"
I don't have time this morning to write everything I want to about my adventures in pressure cooking, but I want to dedicate these next few weeks writing about this method of cooking. So I encourage anyone who's reading this to get a pressure cooker and come along and join me!
I'm recommending that purchase your pressure cooker (cookers!) from Jill Nussinow's website http://theveggiequeen.com/index.html. AND her DVD! Even though I already know how to use a pressure cooker I purchased her DVD and later when I have more time I'll write about what I learned. Jill sells and uses Fagor PC's, it is the brand I have been working with this past year, and I just ordered 2 more PC's from her website. I support small business owners, that's why I urge you to support Jill's hard work, efforts and passion (same as me) for teaching and promoting, not only pressure cooking, but a lifestyle that is based on healthy home cooked foods, I will always be happy to promote her products. Also by purchasing from her, she will always be available via email for any questions you might have....you can't get that at a department store, or discount online store. (besides, Jill also says that the pressure cooker changed her cooking life!)
More to come, but in the mean time, buy a pressure cooker, or if you already have one, dust it off, clean it up and get ready to cook!
PS I just made a big pot of smokey, beefy, chipotle chili w/black beans, this morning in about 1/2 hour! And yesterday before double yoga classes (starting @8:00am), in addition to making some brown/purple rice (in 15 min with my own chicken stock, made in the PC), I made 3 qts of homemade applesauce in less than 1/2 hour using only one ingredient....fresh, in season, local, sweet, ripe apples! Boy was it nice to come home to warm homemade applesauce.
I guess I'm finally ready to take the plunge into the PC world -- PC ordered via Jill. Thanks for the recommendation and I'm looking forward to learning from you, my friend!
