Book Reviews of Pressure Cookers For Dummies
Book Review: not a replacement of an owners manual
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great book that backs up your owners manual of your pressure cooker. My main concern when I bought my pressure cooker was safety. I figured they were safer than the old models that blew up but I wanted to know why. Also I know that if I understand the basics of this apparatus I could potentially avoid problems since I know it is impossible to idiot proof anything 100%. After reading the book, I able to use the pressure cooker with confidence. I think its main strengths are the basic information it provides on the safety of pressure cookers, how different types of pressure cookers work and cooking times for common ingredients used in pressure cookers, e.g. soups and beans. One reviewer criticized this book for not providing step by step instructions. This is very difficult cause there are different types of pressure cookers. My owners manual is very specific compared to the this book. I would agree with other reviewers that I would not buy this book just for the recipes. I tried the beef stew and chicken cacciatore and I liked both of them. However, I improvised a mexican pozole soup and chile colorado and liked them even more.
