New stainless steel models and elaborate electric programmable models now appear in housewares stores.Express Cooking, by Barry Bluestein and Kevin Morrissey, newly issued in paperback, addresses this new generation of pressure cookers with a winning group of contemporary recipes. Beef shanks stew with figs for a hearty entree. Veal breast cooks quickly in a pressure cooker, and the higher heat extracts veal's natural gelatins for a rich sauce. Grains also cook speedily in a pressure cooker, and some chefs even use it to prepare risotto with much less stress on the cook. The authors list tables of cooking times for many foods, and they helpfully give advice on converting standardly cooked recipes to the pressure cooker.Mark KnoblauchCopyright © American Library Association.
