[Tracy & Gaenor Howe]

www.recipezaar.com
has a TON of pressure cooker recipes. Just type pressure cooker into the search, and you'll get them all (dinners, desserts, breads, everything).

I really like the way a pressure cooker makes food taste (alot like a crock pot only way faster) I am still using a pressure cooker that is 65 years old and it does make me a little nervous when it hisses and jiggles so i may consider a new one........ not sure yet.
This following site is nothing but pressure cooker recipes and the majority of the recipes are FREE.
(By the way I made Lima Bean soup which i can't stand for my wife....but when done in the pressure cooker it was really good and now i like it.....Go Figure!)

Pressure cooking while camping saves time for fun, not to mention, propane. When you can "pre soak" the beans in 5 minutes, and cook them in 10 you have saved a lot of propane.

Keep one permanently packed in the trailer.

[Lou & Lora E.]

Lora and i have had a pressure cooker that regulates the temp. automatically for about 25 years.
it was built by Louis Nye in Oakland/Alameda, for canning (in cans). he is a master at all things
in canning and nutrition.
so we have canned a lot of albacore, salmon, beef, chicken, etc.
we also have 2 or 3 other pressure cookers for use at home and in the trailer. recently we bought
a smaller one for the trailer.

I have a small camping pressure cooker (REI model) - so far I've used it for rice and old-fashioned steel cut oatmeal. It works great - although it is very small (and not quite as cute as Byron's).

Rosemary I inherited a "brand new still in the box" old presto pressure cooker....I have the original cookbook that went with it and would be happy to loan it to you for you to go thru and pick out the reciepes you might want to copy for your own..drop me a quick line if you want me to send it off to you Its about 3 x 5 and has 127 pages ranging from soups, veggies, meats, combination dishes, desserts, steamed breads and even dressings and sauces. I have to add this when I went looking at the reciepes I came across poultry and "game" in it there is a reciepe for squirrel (probley tastes like chicken)..The book is very informative and gives alot of info with time tables for all kinds of food.

oooooh, bring the recipe book to NOG Brandy.... if you remember. I'd love to look at it and copy some interesting recipes.

Only if you show me how to use mine I have yet to use it because I didn't want to blow my house up..I have seen my great grandmother use one but other than that I have no experience. I will go make a few copies that way I can pass a few out. Will trade copies for helpful trailer advice or a good beer .

The gasket on my very old and handed down pressure cooker died a number of years ago and I couldn't easily get a replacement, so I got rid of it. Now I'm wishing I'd held onto it! I think I might put that 3.5 qt model on my wishlist. Or I might hit freecycle for one.

All this talk of pressure cooker meals made me want to try one!

My family likes to eat well when camping and I don't want to spend so much time doing the cooking.

I bought a stainless steel Fagor 4 quart pressure cooker at Macy's yesterday for $39.99 - 10% off ($4.00), plus it has a $10.00 mail in rebate . . . not too bad of a deal, I think.

Okay I read the instructions..read them again...then again to make sure I would not blow the house up with an older model presto that I inherited still in the box from my grandma and made the most tender ribs from just thawed pork ribs from my freezer in less than 35 minutes (plus thawing time for ribs) WOW why haven't I been using this befor now...my new favorite kitchen gadget..tonights dinner Lentiles with ham..mmmmm Can't wait to use it camping.

Finally bought a new pressure cooker! A smaller 3-qt size this time. Saw a recipe for rice pudding in the cookbook and made it the same day. Pretty decent rice pudding and only 25 minutes from dumping ingredients in the pan to dishing hot into a bowl. Next time I'll try my recipe!

[Janice M]

I use my pressure cookers a lot, both at home and camping. Most recipes can be modified for the pressure cooker, once you get the hang of how they work, but i have also picked up few recipe books along the way -- these are two of the best.

[Lisa M.]

Janice, thanks for the tip! The recipe book that comes with it has all these old recipes, I need some more modern! I've made the rice pudding twice now and I think I have the hang of it. I have pork for BBQ pork in it right now. Usually I put the pork roast in the crockpot, but thought I'd try something different--okay, truthfully, I forgot to take the pork out of the freezer last night to thaw! Oh, and I guess I have a 4-qt, not a 3-qt.

for $54 Canadian, I'll give it a go. for those that don't have an MEC membership... it's $5 for a lifetime. this is a member owned store that generally offers better quality camping gear.

We just put it on our list of things we'd like for Christmas and it looks like the mother-in-law may buy it for us!

Hi,
Several months ago I purchased my pressure cooker, and began looking for interesting recipes. My favorite author so far is Lorna Sass. He recipes are really yummy, and just alittle different than most.
Check them out!

Canadian Tire has a 5.5 litre cooker on for $24.99. and a larger one for 37.99
I got one on Friday and have already used it twice. love it, made stew that was melt-in-your-mouh
and a potroast last night that the family devoured. I may get another to
take to the lake.
