I love my pressure cooker.....

[LooL00]

.....but I only really use it to cook lentils, split peas and stuff like that.What do you use your pressure cooker for?And does anyone know how long to do a steamed syrup sponge pudding for?

What, like the electronic pressure cookers?

I use mine for ALL stews and curries. My word, it's bloody marvelous. Have also cooked a glazed gammon in it before. Seriously, my oxtail & redwine in my pressure cooker has won me a case of wine. :D It keeps all the flavours and all the moisture. I recommend using red wine as the liquid for stews, never water.

You can even do cakes in the electronic ones, as they're non-stick coated on the inside.

Oooh, and bean & beef soup. My goodness.

There's nothing electronic about mine, it goes on the hob. Not sure you could do cake in mine, it might explode!

I love mine too but I haven't tried anything sweet.
I mostly use it for stews, steaming fish in foil, cooking potatoes in a few minutes.

bumping as there must be someone who knows how long to do a steamed pudding for!!!
