Okay, just got a nice pressure cooker.

Anyone else use one of these? I'm excited to make tasty, fall-off-the-bone meat in a fraction of the time.

Don't hurt yourself.

I've managed to never hurt myself cooking, while doing most of my household's cooking.

No, I'm serious! Those things are a bitch to get the lid on and off, and you could burn yourself.

I'll try not to. I got the directions and intend to follow them!

Seriously, looking through the little recipe book and seeing you can cook chicken in 4 minutes? AWESOME.

You'll be able to braise all sorts of stuff. Cook octopus and pork belly.

I use mine constantly. Here is a few things I learned...

If you have a glass top stove, make sure your pressure cooker is designed for a glass top stove, or else it takes forever to heat up.
Never fill it more than half way
Cook EVERYthing with wine.
If you are doing meet and vegetable, add the vegetables towards the end of your cook time, then bring back up to a whistle and cook for another five minutes. No mushy vegetables.
Timing starts with the whistle of the pressure cooker.
Short ribs...your welcome
Seer meat for the beautiful crust before cooking in the pressure cooker
Get a cast iron trivet for the bottom of your pressure cooker...your very welcome

And here was the first pot roast recipe I used, and it is wonderful. Listen to the thing I said about wine and vegetables and its even better.
