So, I have heard great things about cooking with a pressure cooker, but was unsure of how to use one. I discovered that I wasn't having much success because my pc was broken, so we took it to the store and exchanged it for a new one. The joy of having a new pressure cooker is that it comes with an instruction booklet and a recipe book!! Now that I know how to use it, I have been using it a lot. The other day I put cauliflower, carrots, and a whole chicken in the pc with a cup of water, a dab of butter and some spices. About 15 minutes later I had a fully cooked meal- pretty tasty. Yes, the benefit of the pressure cooker is the speed. It takes about 7 minutes to cook rice, 20 minutes to cook kidney beans, 10 minutes to cook whole potatoes, 10 minutes for chicken... and the list goes on. I am very thankful for this time saver (though I still don't have it fully figured out) since prepping the vegetables takes a lot of extra time.
