Low Priced Cookware - Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker
My all time favorite meal growing up is corn beef and cabbage! Now I know you naturally assume that I may be Irish, but I am actually Filipino! My dad would pressure cook the corn beef until it was moist and juicy. I fondly recall eagerly awaiting the sound of the whistle, which indicated that enough pressure had built up and the corn beef brisket was ready for prepping.
The strange part is I had no idea that “pressure cooking” was a delicate art. My friend and I tried using her mom’s pressure cooker and we nearly created an atom bomb packed with potatoes and beef. I mistakenly assumed that the whistling meant not only that the meat was ready for consumption but also served as an outlet for the steam. I had no idea that you had to take a wooden spoon and prop the valve open until all the steam was released. Opening at that point was both dangerous and messy! Luckily for my friend and I her mom came into the kitchen and asked whether we had released all the steam. Potatoes and Beef Bomb Crisis averted, whew!
My suggestion is having someone who knows what they are doing come over and show you how to use it once, then have at it! Nothing compares to the moisture and softness that is derived from using a pressure cooker.
I did some browsing and think that the Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker offered by JR.com is a great deal! It cooks 3 to 10 times faster than ordinary cooking methods, has a stainless steel body and bi-metal clad base. To avoid my previously mentioned possible disaster, this pressure cooker has a cover lock indicator that shows at a glance if there is pressure inside the cooker. The bi-metal base provides fast and even heat distribution, while the stainless steel body provides lasting beauty and easy cleaning.
