Pressure Cooker??

3 replies

I am looking for ways to speed up cooking the evening meal - want to stop relying on frozen food so much and make more of my own meals. Have had a slow cooker but wasn't keen on it and wondered what people thought of pressure cookers for a family of four? Are they worth buying/easy to use/easy to find family friendly recipes? Thank you!

Multicookers like the instant pot can be very handy and I like mine much more than my old slow cooker - not just for the pressure cooking function but for steaming and makng yoghurt too.

I use mine weekly.

It's a real time saver for all pulses.

I make beef stew, soups, bolognese, tomato pasta, curry to make but a few dishes.

Great for cooking vegetables too.

It is a basic Prestige from Argos.

Love mine - I've got a Sage and it's incredibly easy to use. It's a slow cooker that also does pressure cooking and steaming (also claims to do risotto in 9 minutes). I probably use it at least twice a week. Great for potatoes, pulses, soups, stocks, stews, bolognese etc.
