I'll be watching this thread. I'm thinking of getting one. I know that they are great for things like stew and other long simmering stuff. Pot roasts come to mind. They are the opposite of crockpots. I've heard that a 3 hour stew can be done in 20 minutes and taste every bit as good and be as tender. Friends of ours do potatoes in their pressure cooker when they're having company. They can do lots of potatoes in no time.
My mom has always used a perssure cooker and so have I. I love pressure cooking and it is great for making the indian curries and rice that I make daily. My mom has sent me 2 stainless steel pots that fit onto each other and into the pressure cooker and I can make my curry and rice both at one time.
I find the pressure cooker most useful when I am cooking meat. The meat (beef, chicken or goat meat, lamb) gets cooked very fast !

The main one I got isn't a collector's item: Pressure Cooking for Dummies
LOL, you should see my collection. Lots of odds and ends. I don't have a Dummies cook book yet, and that one sounds like a good place to start. Oddly enough, I do own Fishing for Dummies. Don't ask.

I use mine to cook curry dishes, stews, greens anything I want cooked really quickly or want to get the meat done really quickly i.e. if I make lamb shanks I'll pressure cook them then finish them off in the oven.

I love my pressure cooker. I use it most with cooking artichokes and when I forget to take meat out of the freezer. I can cook a roast that is frozen in like 30 minutes. Everything gets so flavorful, it is amazing.
Have fun experimenting with your new Pressure Cooker.
