Pressure cooker recommendations

mudgekin

Hi

I am thinking of getting a pressure cooker. DH and I will be retiring this year and I am looking to cut down on expenses such as fuel. We will be eating a lot of pulse based foods and it seems that a pressure cooker will make this economical rather than cooking for hours on the hob.

Can any of you lovely old stylers recommend a particular pressure cooker.

Many thanks x

Yes I would like to buy a pressure cooker too but I have an induction hob? Any suggestion?

I've had pressure cookers forever, but recently gave in to the shiny and bought a new one from Ikea. After my first try, I did a web search and found this youtube clip.

I've used it once more and at least I was expecting it this time, but I have to say the cat couldn't get through the cat-flap fast enough and legged it up the stairs instead.

It does what it should, if you're not phased by 360-degree spurts of steam. I'm not saying "don't buy one", just suggesting you do a bit more research than I did.

Good Housekeeping did some trials - results here:

Check Amazon etc for cheaper prices though, eg:
