pressure cookers (feel free to make daft comments Perchy)

[HappyBob]

I have found the top to the pressure cooker


but it doesn't fit the jam one

So you actually have two pressure cookers Perchy? one without a top and one without a bottom, this thread is getting confusing

You;ve made me wonder where mine has got to, I haven't seen it since last winter.

The only thing I have used it for is making irish stew, and it really was the best stew I've ever done.

I used mine this evening - I made beef stew & it was delicious

Even by Mod standards, that was a pretty poor quip Dom (even Perches's joke were funnier and that is going some).

My mum used to use her a lot ( Mmm squishy sprouts )

I have 2 pressure cookers, one might work if I could find the rubber seal. I use the pans for cooking rice or mash

that brought back some happy memories

I really do like squishy sprouts
I also like them cooked properly - the Gordon Ramsay way

We had a lot of mince and veg growing up. Veg in the pressure cooker in those little triangle baskets that go inside.

My mam had one years ago, I was terrified of it
She made rhubarb jam in it one time and the lid blew off and the jam was all over the ceiling and walls of her kitchen!

My mum had that happen with yellow split-pea soup once - quite entertaining!
I've always felt pretty safe with mine. Just need to make sure you keep the safety valve clean and in good condition, and don't overfill - it can froth up and block the vent.

See that really doesn't help!

I think I might being growing a 'want' for one. Mainly cos the slow cooker looks lonely!

I was hoping to get some advice! Not be scared witless

I dug ours out and found that the bottom wasn't domed as I thought but perfectly flat. The problem was the rubber seal had gone hard and wasn't sealing. Bought a new one from amazon for £5.20 and works fine. I think I will use it for cooking soups and things like re-hydrated dried beans and pulses that seem to take an eternity to cook.

I have one that I use occasionally. My Mum used hers daily to cook the veg. She had 3 little pie shape baskets that sat raised on a thing with legs. It kept things separate and stopped them getting waterlogged. I wish I had those extra bits. I don't think they still make them with those included? I should use it more though.

Although I have never used one, I have always perceived them as some type of bomb.
