Valentines Day has never been much of a celebrated holiday in my home, a theme shared by us equally but last year I have to say, my sweetheart came through big time. I was teaching a class that day at church using my beloved pressure cookers, of which I had two and I had made a comment to him a day earlier that I wish I had one more bigger one so I could use all three at one time. The next day, just before I was leaving to teach the class, he pulled this beautiful pressure cooker out and wished me a Happy Valentines Day. Honestly, to me, it was better than jewelry. Ever since I started using the pressure cookers, I can't imagine life without them. They have saved me more time than I can calculate over the years cooking. They cook in about 1/3 the time and seal in the nutrients lost in other cooking processes. This one above, is my favorite. The Cadillac. Not all pressure cookers are created equal. The Kuhn Rikon line is the tops sold at Shar's Kitchen store in Gilbert but can be ordered on line at sharskitchen.com. They are pricey, but will last a long time. Many are intimidated at first, it is a different way of cooking, but being able to make homemade re fried beans in less than 30 minutes makes learning something different worth it or cooking a roast in 45 minutes! Just think of what you will do with all of your spare time! Do I hear pedicures?

What adding a little pressure will do...

What a sweet husband you have! I want to go to your pressure cooker class. I have one but I never know how to use it or what to make in it.
I want one!
If anyone wants to learn how to use a pressure cooker and you aren't there to teach them, I have a pressure cooking DVD that is available at http://www.pressurecookingonline.com.
I love my pressure cookers, too. They are amazing.
On my wish list!!!
