Pressure cookers

[truck71]

Anyone still use these? I love mashed potatoes but waiting for them to boil is a pain- any recommendations?

[LordGrover]

I use an electric one pretty much daily - love it. Like you say, spuds done to perfection 5 mins at pressure. Most green veg 0-1 mins at pressure. (Soaked) beans from 6-30 minutes, depending on type. What's not to like!
Instant Pot DUO 80 was on offer amazon prime yesterday - I think it was £80 - shame a day too late.

we've got a pressure king pro and love it.

[LordGrover]

Forgot - stocks and soups in 20 minutes too!

We have a Tower one touch pressure cooker received as a Christmas present, only used it a few times but found it really good, beef ragu cooking time reduced by about 2 thirds. Went to use it the other week and it wouldn't hold any pressure, could the seal have gone already?

[LordGrover]

Not likely. Is the sealing ring properly seated?

[tedmus]

It didn't look displaced or anything but you could move the lid around when fastened, maybe the mechanism isn't working properly?
