A pressure cooker requires high heat to bring the pressure up followed by lowered heat to continue cooking. If you have an electric stove top, you know that lowering heat takes time (or necessitates switching burners). On page 12, the author states that "Since all recipes in this book have been tested on gas burners, you may need to make minor adjustments in the timing." Perhaps the recipes are worth the effort -- I am not inclined to try. (Between switching burners, using a "Flame Tamer", and adjusting the recipes -- as suggested by the author -- any time savings seems lost in complications.)

You might as well be eating canned soup or other forms of "dead food." To be healthy, you've got to eat food that still has its nutritional value intact. So what should you do instead? Steam your vegetables. Or eat them raw. <br /> Rating: 3 / 5 The recipes might be good, but when you cook vegetables in such high temperature you’re just killing them.
