in Old style MoneySaving
Hi, I just thought I'd share this site as I have been given an old style pressure cooker and am a little unsure but really enjoying the better taste it gives to stews etc and wanted to know more....Now I want to buy a newer version. I have a large family so any deals on a bigger pressure cooker, I will be grateful...

    Excellent, thank you.
    A freecycler gave me a pressure cooker when i went to pick up a food processor. The taste of stews & soups is fantastic. I cant rave about it enough.

    Only thing I can really say is buy a stainless steel one rather than aluminium, I have an aluminium one, never leave anything acid in it tip the contents straight out after I have finished cooking them into a container, the acid has a chemical effect with the aluminium, so I am told.

    I have had one for over 40 years, use it a lot, you can bottle fruit in it sucessfully although its quite a while since I did that. Use it for stews, soups, and stock, have also done Christmas puddings in one. makles great dumplings, I drop them in on top of the stew and re-pressurise for about 4 minutes...... although its a while since i did that too.......

    Aldi/Lidl's regularly do a good sized stainless steel one for around £20.
