 Pressure cooking isn't just for your Grandmother anymore! November 20, 2002

You probably have memories of your Grandmother slaving over a hot stove at Thanksgiving or another holiday. You might even remember a funny pot on the stove with a little steam escaping from a jiggly valve on top. It's a secret weapon in the fight against time in the kitchen. Your parents probably didn't use it because they were too enamored of the microwave oven. I got my first pressure cooker when my Grandmother passed away and I had no idea how to use it. This book provided a very good explanation about how it works and how to use it, plus a lot of great recipes. My favorites are the Moroccan Chicken and the Rice Pudding.
Definitely the book for Pressure Cooker novice February 1, 2004

This book is exactly what it says...for dummies. I had never used a pressure cooker before. In fact, mine was a gift and it sat on my counter for about 3 months before I ever tried it (I was scared to use it thinking of my grandmother's pressure cooker from years ago) and then it was forced on me because I accidentally broke my crockpot. I've been at it for a week now with the pressure cooker and I can't imagine ever going back to a crockpot. This book covers all the ins and outs, especially all the ones I didn't even know I should wonder about. I'm considering returning the other two pressure cooker books I purchased at the same time because this one was so thorough.
Excellent introduction to Pressure Cookers February 15, 2003

This is one of the first books I bought when I got a pressure cooker. It is an excellent reference. I knew nothing about pressure cookers or how they operated. This book answered almost all of my questions. It is written very clearly and explains everything down to the last detail. It also has a lot of recipes. I haven't tried any of the recipes yet (I have so may other pc books by now) but I want to try a few of them soon. All in all a good book to get if you're new to pc's.

I received a pressure cooker for Christmas and had no idea of what to do with it, I actually had a fear of using it, but with the detailed information that Cooking for dummies gave put all my fears to rest. I would highly recommend it to anyone, not just to overcome their fear but there are good tips and excellent recipes.
 I'm the dummy for using this book! August 22, 2006

I was so totally disappointed with the recipes included in the book. I have to admit that I tried only 3 but each did not go over with me or the rest of my family. I decided to quit while I was ahead. Other information included in the book is excellent but do not get this book for the recipes alone!
