We've always used a standard pressure cooker but had to throw out ours as I couldn't bear to look at it anymore having used it as a sick bucket for 3 horrid days in pregnancy it was past its best.
I'm now confused by all manner of electronic gadgetry on Amazon and I need some direction. I've been swayed from a regular hob pressure cooker and want an electric thing, I need to be able to sear in the dish and also to make rice in it. We had a rice cooker but had to throw it out (not my fault that time, it was simply broken), we have saucepans and we can cook rice but DH likes having a rice cooker due to the sheer amount of rice cooking that we do.
There are electric pressure cookers that apparently do all sorts (searing, rice, pressure, slow cook, porridge...?) but I don't want to get carried away on something all singing all dancing unnecessarily. Plus I have no idea how good these are compared to a regular pressure cooker.
Then I thought, maybe just a slow cooker that allows for searing in the dish would do the job just as well, and apparently you can do rice in a slow cooker. I have no idea how long I would have to slow cook tough meats though (think goat, various types of feet, etc) so the timing worries me as we've only ever used a pressure cooker for these things.
Tips anyone?
