Review: Helpful for New Pressure Cooks
Rating: 5 out of 5

After deciding to move past my lifelong fear of them, I recently bought a pressure cooker after being encouraged to take the leap by my son (who has two and is a great cook) and several friends.  I want to thank Maria Holmes for writing this book because she took me the last and most important steps toward actually cooking with it.  Her tips on using the cooker safely were most helpful, I have only tried one so far, but the recipes all sound delicious.  I have to take issue with her advice about soaking beans 4 hours before cooking them, though.  I find they go from dry to yummy in the cooker in the listed cooking time.  The lists of cooking times for various foods are VERY helpful, too.  Thanks, Maria!
