I have bought this little beauty -
3l + 6l with a pressure lid that fits both and a glass lid .

Back in the day , my DMum had a couple of the massive dome top PC that you had to put the lid on, twist the whole lid to lock, and a valve that you put on the top (heavy metal, size of a cork, don't lose it )

Her cooking was very Russian Roulette though if you got cooked veg, soup or all over the cooker top. Which put me off them till now .

Mine has 8lb and 12lb presure .
Apart from soup it'll be used for vegetables , maybe rice (though I'm rubbish at cooking rice due to timing)
We don;r eat any meat/fish/chicken except DS (who is either plain roasted or breaded chicken) .

The booklet that comes with it is basic . Only example is 1lb potaoes in 1oz pieces in 5mins .

So, I need some guidelines .
Any links ?

Thanks Muchly in advance Smile

Oh and steamed syrup pudding will be a feature - any timings on that ?

Can anyone recommend a recipe book ( either paper or online I can download)?
Everything I search up is for the Instant Pot even if I put in Pressure Cooker / Prestidge Pressure Cooker

Soups - great

Cauliflower - I have just destroyed even with less than 5 minutes Sad

Cauli Mash on the menu .....

I might have something. I'll have a look when I get home and will get back to you.

@70isaLimitNotaTarget OK, this is the original booklet that came with my pressure cooker in 1982. If you could get hold of one it's great. The other book is a modern one which covers both electric and stovetop ones.

Thanks Drama it's that sort of thing I'm looking for .
I'm not going to cook stews and things , it is more vegetables (and steamed pudding Grin )

I might wander to the library ( it opens this week yay ) and if there's suitable one I'll buy it online .

I do prefer a paper book to a kindle .
