Pressure cooker recipes / questions

Guys, I would rather advise to get Redmond 110 or 90. Mine is 110 and I'm using it about 6 months. It has about 55 modes and pressure-cooking function. Model 110 is a little bit expensive than 90th for instance, but it's really worth to get it, especially when you have big (hungry) family at home.

And taking about the details, mostly using my multi-cooker for making soup, stew, some pasties and steam food. You can follow your ordinal receipt, put the ingredients and set the mode. That's it. Try to back apple-pie (baking mode), it takes around 1 hour to make it perfect. Even affordable models like 90 or 4502 let you to cook a great variety of food for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Well these models look nice but actually I'd like to have a smaller one so Redmond 10 and yoghurt jars as a present sound really nice:j
And why is your 110 model more expensive, what's good about it?

Oh well I think the difference is that mine is bigger with its 5L bowl so in case you don'n have a huge hungry family take M10 of course:rotfl:

Thanks for a nice piece of advice)))))
I'm going to cook for 2 so 3 L will be pretty enough

Mostly because my Redmond 110 multicooker has more modes and options in compare with other models. But I agree, your choice should be based on your daily needs. I surfed Redmond web-site comparing the multicookers and found that 110 is the one which satisfy my personal requirements.

We had a big old saucepan that for years I didn't even lknow was a pressure cooker. It was thick and heavy, maybe a Prestige? But any text on the handle had long since rubbed off. It was in a flat that my SIL had rented, it was there when she moved and left it there when she moved out. We moved in right after and happily used it for spuds and stews, and brought it with us when we moved again. (SIL then told us it had been used as their "sick bucket", but by that time we didn't care anymore ). OH used it to drop sparklers into one halloween, and the inside was never the same again. We threw it out. Then I learned what it was and wish we'd kept it in good condition.

I recently bought a new pressure cooker, it was very cheap off amazon, but I really just wanted a big saucepan to be able to brew beer in. I think it 15l size - HUGE! I'm reading through this thread and getting lots of inspiration for actual meals to cook in it when it isn't full of beer

Also, why is it recommended to avoid aluminum? That's the kind I have, although it was just a big cheap pot that I wanted so it has worked fine so far.

I think the one you have is good for those who cook a lot but I just need a little helper in the kitchen. by the way, yesterday I ordered redmond 10 so now I can't wait to get it and try it:j

I;ve heard aluminium effects the nervous system badly but don't know why

I'm just about to purchase a PC, and trying to choose between a 4.5 litre and a 2.7 litre, as I'm only usually cooking for one (vegetarian) and it'll be mainly used for soup although I will use it too for cooking vegetables.

Can somebody tell me what actual volume of soup I'd be able to cook in each one? I'd like to be able to make enough at one time for 3 or 4 days.

Also, how do you cook vegetables that take different cooking times?
