Whether you've just bought your first pressure cooker or you have left your old one languishing at the back of the cupboard for a while Dianne Page will help you get the most out of this most useful piece of kitchen equipment. Pressure cooking cuts conventional cooking times to a third. Soups can be ready in minutes. Favourite recipes which traditionally take hours to prepare can be cooked & enjoyed at the end of a busy day. Plus shorter cooking times mean lower gas & electricity bills. Other benefits include: food retains its flavour vitamins minerals & colour; cheaper cuts of meat
- that are packed with flavour but normally need long slow cooking to make them tender
- can be cooked quickly; & less steam is produced so no condensation in the kitchen.
