I have never used a pressure cooker before. I think the closest I have gotten is when I had to witness my elders use the traditional method of making beef stew. They literally put stones on top pf a boiling pot to trap all the heat and moisture... Still works anyway haha

I use my pressure cooker to make brown beans so that it comes out very soft and mashed up. I enjoy eating it that way and the pressure cooker does that perfectly for me

Rice is our staple foods, so we use it every day. It’s more convenient, giving us a more palatable cooked rice. Aside from its convenience, it’s also cooking fast.

Yes, I do. When cooking chicken or staple rice, we often use a pressure cooker. It is also best in steaming delicacies like chines foods.

Yes, I already used a pressure cooker. Every time I cook cow or carabao meats, I always use pressure cooker to make the meat smoother. Also, it would be easier to cook if the meat is soft and I appreciate more the taste if the meat was pressurized.

I have a pressure cooker air fryer. I use it a lot and so does my boyfriend. It is so easy to use and quick. The air fryer is easier to clean than the other air fryers.

I have an air fryer pressure cooker and I love it! I hardly use the oven anymore. The pressure cooker is very easy to use and I highly recommend to those that don't like to cook much.

I use a pressure cooker all the time! It's amazing and saves me time and gas/electricity! (I don't use the electric one). I love how it cooks things like beans and meats to perfection in a short period of time.

I cook all kinds of foods in it, meats, bones (for broths), rice dishes, beans, lentils, stews, and it always turns out amazing.

Any pressure cooker can explode open and hurt you, but that's only if you REALLY did something wrong, like forcing it open before the pressure is released. That would be a stupid and dangerous idea. Otherwise even older versions shouldn't explode?

There was an accident involving a pressure cooker at home when I was younger. Never seen it at home ever since. I have my place now but I still don't trust them

I own two. a canner for low-acid foods. evidently it is harder to kill all the bacteria in stuff that doesn't include vinegar or tomatoes. I am kind of off canning now. there is all the work to make the food and then additional work to kill the germs :cry2: Anyway, I learned that catsup and pickles will keep in the fridge for several months without being sealed. Second pressure cooker is my instapot which i very fond of because it is QUICK cooking. it also makes creamty risotto without having to stir and stir and stir. and it breaks down all the viscera in tough meat without all the advance planning reqired by the crock pot

I refuse to ever own or use one as my mother had one when i was growing up and used to cook vegetables to mush with it. So gross. I just cant even look at one without wanting to puke. We all have our traumas! haha

I could not live without my pressure cooker or my rice cooker. It makes everything so much quicker and easier.
