Pressure Cooker Store

Under pressure to get a tasty, nutritious dinner on the table in a flash? Like the idea of preparing fork-tender beef stew in thirty minutes and pot roast in under an hour? All this and more is made possible by the pressure cooker, a magical appliance that produces soul-satisfying, homemade food in one-third (or less) the standard cooking time.

In Pressure Perfect, Lorna Sass, the country's leading authority on pressure cooking, distills her two decades of experience into one comprehensive volume. First learn everything you need to know about buying and using today's 100% safe cookers. Then enjoy more than 200 recipes for preparing soups, meats, poultry, grains, beans, vegetables, and desserts in record time. How about whipping up a savory risotto in 4 minutes, chicken cacciatore in 12 minutes, or a delectable chocolate cheesecake in 25 minutes?

Because the pressure cooker tenderizes tough cuts of meat quickly, you can prepare fall-off-the-bone beef short ribs or lamb shanks on weekday nights instead of waiting for a special occasion. The pressure cooker also allows you to make delectable one-pot meals in minutes. Among the many innovative recipes and techniques, you'll learn to cook meatloaf and potatoes simultaneously in 10 minutes, and meatballs, pasta, and sauce at the same time in only 5 minutes. Many recipes also suggest Cook-Along ideas for preparing vegetables and grains along with the entrée.

To further help those cooking under pressure (and who isn't nowadays?), each chapter contains timing charts for quick reference. Tips and Pressure Points in every recipe ensure optimum results.

This ultimate guide to pressure cooking is a must for all busy cooks, boaters, brides, college students, and anyone looking for a great way to make irresistible, healthy, home-made food fast.

 "This is one of the best cookbooks I have in my library!!" 2010-02-27
By K. Johnson (Carson City, Nevada USA)
I am completely amazed at the diversity of information in this cookbook. You can find basic cooking times for absolutely anything along with the most delicious recipes I have ever tasted!! I have not cooked a single recipe that was not fabulous. Also, I love the variations included with each recipe. Just yesterday I went to look for information on a cut of lamb that I had never dealt with before. I was able to find all the information I needed and could not find similar information in my Joy of Cooking...which I have always looked to be my biggest cooking resource. If you want to use your pressure cooker to cook amazing tasting recipes....then BUY THIS COOKBOOK!! It is simply the best :)


 "I Wanted a Hardcover Pressure Cooker Cookbook by the Famous Lorna Sass" 2010-02-22
By Citizen John (Washington, DC)
This is a quality cookbook that teaches you how to be very quick and versatile with your pressure cooker. The key to getting the hang of any kind of cooking is to be able to work with what you have to produce a work of art or at least something both tasty and healthy. This book does that better than maybe all the others.

The main problem I have with 90% of cookbooks is that I've got to have hard to find ingredients to make just about anything work, and I'm not such a dedicated grocery shopper. Sass's approach appeals to me in particular. You see what you have and go with it doing the best you can, and it short order. The result is tasty and healthy.


 "Thoughtfully written" 2010-02-13
By M. J. Kogan (ft lauderdale florida)
A thoughtfully written moderate size book with a good index. Even the type face is attractive: page numbers mid-page left and nice use of bracketing and bolding for key points. You don't need to know where to look for information. Every recipe is stand alone. Each has page references to ingredient tables, meat, vegetarian, and flavor variations, and, at the bottom, how to pare it down for a smaller 4 quart cooker. The first three recipes I tried (pea soup, turkey barley and beans with meat) came out perfect the first time. Can't ask for more than that. Can you?


 "looks and reads like a textbook" 2010-02-05
By K. Wesley
I found it very hard to sit down and read or use this book. Everything is crammed together so it reads like a text book. Not at all like a cookbook.
I am returning to amazon because I find it unusable due to the layout of the book.


 "Pressue Perfect" 2010-01-11
By Mona Guercia
Pressure Perfect is my one and only source for pressure cooker recipes. My family especially loves the Classic Beef Stew. Chicken Caccitore, Curry in a Hurry, and Beer Braised Ribs are also delicious. I own at least a hundred cookbooks and this one ranks right up there at the top. With so many recipes now available on the internet I don't buy as many cookbooks as I used to because most have only a handful of really good recipes. Not the case with Pressure Perfect. I'm working my way through the whole book and so far have not made anything that didn't turn out well. This cookbook is worth buying.
