Rating : - Useful book!
I found this book to be extremely helpful. Growing up in the 1940s with a family who used two (Flex-Seal) pressure cookers at many meals, I am comfortable with what pressure cookers can do. This book's strength is its description of what you can do and why. Example, I now "Quick-soak" all dried legumes for five minutes instead of soaking them overnight. This is an enormous time-saver.

If one finds the recipes bland, it is easy to add spices to enliven them. But the core recipes work well.

An excellent book.
