This book was very informative, and I would suggest anyone wanting to learn to use a pressure cooker to read this book. Pressure cookers are great. Just be sure to follow the instructions.

This product is easy to use and cooks food fast and meals turn out fantastic.  It's a cheap and great introduction into pressure cooking without a large investment.  I would recommend this product to anyone curious to see if this is the right type of cooking for them.  The cooker does take about 5 minutes to heat up to steam, but cooks food throroughly from frozen to done in less than 30 minutes.  Well worth the cost!

The first thing I noticed was that this book was not really for an electronic pressure cooker, however that worked even better for me since I only have a standard one! Most of the recipes look delicious and so far the ones that I have tried were tasty. I am very new to using a pressure cooker and this book helped me step by step figure it out! I am more confident about using my pressure cooker for other recipes as well now. Book provided for testing and review.

Not your grandmother's pressure cooker recipes.  Interesting recipes and very helpful general information on pressure cooking. I recently purchased an Insta-Pot and have found this to be my goto resource for tasty pressure cooker recipes.

This pressure cooker is a great tool for people who are not familiar with cooking. I can use it to cook ribs, beef or lamb only about 1 hour and they are tasted as I order in the restaurant. It also have appointment function that I can cook soup in the evening and in the next morning when I get up I can immediately eat the delicious breakfast, it is convenient for people who don't have enough time to cook a great breakfast. It is a wonderful kitchen helper.

I'm a first-time pressure cooker buyer, so I can't compare with other brands. But I feel this one is great and easy to use. It comes with an instructive DVD that is quite informative. I spend 1/3 less cooking time than what I normally use. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because the stainless steel finish scratches easily when I clean it.

I bought this cookbook a couple of years ago and loved it.  The two I recently bought are for relatives.  This cookbook is so well done - step-by-step instructions for each recipe are easy to follow.  In the back is a wonderful resource giving the cooking times and pressure for many different foods. I highly recommend it to anyone using a pressure cooker.

I bought this book for use with my new electric pressure cooker.  As a modern woman, I had never used a pressure cooker before and needed serious help with what to make in it when I was given one as a gift for my birthday.  This book was the answer!  Bob Warden is a very talented chef and his recipes are delicious.  The directions are easy to follow and I really enjoy a cookbook that has corresponding pictures (in fact, I won't buy one without pictures).  If you are looking for easy-to-follow and delicious recipes for an electric pressure cooker, this book is for you!  I highly recommend it!

This cookbook, designed specifically for the pressure cooker, is a treasure trove of recipe collections, noteworthy heirloom stories and great hints and tips for the beginner who is just starting out with a pressure cooker.

I own three cookers and have used them for many years.  I use one strictly for doggie stew (thanks to Vickie's website for more great recipes for dogs!) and I use the other two for my cooking for the two legged members of the family.

There's no comparison with today's modern pressure cookers to those of yesterday.  They are safe and FAST and I love the fact that you can cook just about anything in them.  My husband's favorite is Risotto.. and he is extremely fussy about his Risotto.  My pressure cooker serves up Risotto in 7 minutes and I have never once failed to deliver creamy, delicious Italian rice - perfect everytime.

This book makes it easy to understand and is a huge collection of proper cooking times, terms, equipment and much more.

Some criticism on the fact that there are no pictures, but I LOVE THAT part of the book.  Less fluff and more substance.. if you want pictures, buy a camera and submit them to Vickie.

Cheers and happy steaming!

This is one of my favorite things to use and to give to others that are learning how to use a pressure cooker. They are great!

Keeps food out of the liquid and the handles make it easy to lift out without breaking up your veggies.

It is simple to use if you just follow the good directions.  It has more than one safety pressure release.  I had to buy a Fox Stainless Steel 11-inch Steamer which fit perfectly.  I am glad I purchased the 8-qt instead of a smaller one.  Perfect size for stove top.
Just remember to use an oven glove when you switch on the pressure release.  1.  Pre-wash pressure cooker.  2.  Used olive oil on the lid ring which is easy to remove and reinstalled after oiling.  3.  Put in steamer basket and 8 oz of water and sweet potatoes.
4.  Put on lid and push blue locking latch forward and set pressure to 2 on blue pressure ring for 13 lbs of pressure.  5.  Turned gas burner up until red knob pops up on handle and then reduce heat and cook for 10 minutes.  6.  Turn off fire and using oven glove turn blue knob to pressure release.  7.  wait until red knob goes down and take off lid tilted away from you. When you cook beans in pressure cooker DO NOT USE QUICK STEAM RELEASE OR WILL BEAN SPRAY OVER EVERYTHING.  Put in sink and run cold water over pressure cooker to lower steam pressure.

This cookbook is essential if you use your pressure cooker often. Miss Vickie has been thorough. So far all the recipes I've tried have been great.
