 Not everyday recipes, but a good book February 8, 2008

The book is well written, well presented, with some images, and the recipes are short and very clear. The seleccion of recipes covers from the basics (stocks, broths) to more ellaborate dishes and desserts. There are also tips on pressure cooking, not only recipes. The only downside to the book is that most of the recipes are a bit too "gourmet", and not for everyday cooking (which is what I was looking for). Other than that, I strongly recommend the book.
 I wish I could keep it.... December 28, 2007

THIS COOKBOOK IS FOR 5-7 QUART PRESSURE COOKERS!
I have two other books by Rick Rogers and I love them. The recipes in this book seem family friendly from BBQ chicken to "no-cook" orchard applesauce. Unfortunately I have to return it today because I have an 8 qt pot so I would have to adjust all liquids. But I really wish I could keep it :(
Is a great starter June 7, 2007

My first encounter with pressure cookers. Was an amazing introduction though my only thought on improvement is that if a full diagram of a pressure cooker had been included it would have made it spectacular.
Happened to purchase a Fagor poressure cooker that had a dvd included. Low and behold, this book is from their extended line.
Am really pleased!
 Great Recipes!!! March 5, 2007

I looked at almost every book on the market for pressure cookers and this was one of the books I chose. I liked the variety of the recipes, the pictures which alot do not have and the information was helpful if you are new to pressure cooking. I found it to be very thorough and covered a wide range of dishes...meat, poultry,desserts and even just vegetable and bean dishes if you are not into meat.....Highly Recommended!!!!
Not for those who want their food well-seasoned... May 4, 2006

I'm disappointed in how bland the meat dishes are. As one reviewer said, increase your seasonings. I've also had to decrease the pressure cooking times on some because the meat would come out almost in shreds! There's also one recipe that surprised me - the short ribs that have to be cooked three times - first to brown, then pressure cooked twice, and then crusted and baked. Good grief! Doesn't all that defeat the supposed ease of using a pressure cooker? Overall, it's not a bad book; it's just not as good as I had hoped it would be.
