Book Reviews of The Official Presto Pressure Cooker Cookbook

Book Review: Okay for recipes, but lacks basic user information
Summary: 3 Stars

I was hoping for more basic information on pressure cooking. Aside from a brief history, a couple paragraphs of simple "how-to's" and a few Q & A's, there is precious little information to help the novice with using this device. Unless you are totally familiar with how to use a pressure cooker, and simply want to add to your recipe book collection, do not get this book. For complete pressure cooker instruction, put your money toward "Pressure Cookers for Dummies"...a much more comprehensive tutorial written in easy to understand language, which makes no assumptions at all regarding the reader's level of knowledge. Pressure Cookers for Dummies helps to eliminate the "trial by error" learning curve. As an added bonus, "Pressure Cookers for Dummies" also has great recipes.

UPDATE: Now that Miss Vickie's Big Book of Pressure Cooking has come out, I recommend that as well. If you can afford only one, Miss Vickie's would be the better choice.
