Product Description:
Under pressure to get a tasty, nutritious dinner on the table in a flash? Like the idea of preparing fork-tender beef stew in thirty minutes and pot roast in under an hour? All this and more is made possible by the pressure cooker, a magical appliance that produces soul-satisfying, homemade food in one-third (or less) the standard cooking time.
In Pressure Perfect, Lorna Sass, the country's leading authority on pressure cooking, distills her two decades of experience into one comprehensive volume. First learn everything you need to know about buying and using today's 100% safe cookers. Then enjoy more than 200 recipes for preparing soups, meats, poultry, grains, beans, vegetables, and desserts in record time. How about whipping up a savory risotto in 4 minutes, chicken cacciatore in 12 minutes, or a delectable chocolate cheesecake in 25 minutes?
Because the pressure cooker tenderizes tough cuts of meat quickly, you can prepare fall-off-the-bone beef short ribs or lamb shanks on weekday nights instead of waiting for a special occasion. The pressure cooker also allows you to make delectable one-pot meals in minutes. Among the many innovative recipes and techniques, you'll learn to cook meatloaf and potatoes simultaneously in 10 minutes, and meatballs, pasta, and sauce at the same time in only 5 minutes. Many recipes also suggest Cook-Along ideas for preparing vegetables and grains along with the entrée.
To further help those cooking under pressure (and who isn't nowadays?), each chapter contains timing charts for quick reference. Tips and Pressure Points in every recipe ensure optimum results.
This ultimate guide to pressure cooking is a must for all busy cooks, boaters, brides, college students, and anyone looking for a great way to make irresistible, healthy, home-made food fast.

- Great for first time pressure cookers!!!
I received this book as a gift with my first pressure cooker and I absolutely love it!The beginning of the book is dedicated to understanding and learning your pressure cooker and was a huge help as well as a stress reliever since I had grown up hearing those horror stories about pressure cookers exploding.
Every recipe has sugguestions for alterations as well as cook alongs if you want to cook sides in the same pot.After trying one or two receipes directly out of this book by ... Read More
Rating: - great cookbook
I really like this cookbook. I haven't used a lot of recipes yet, but the chart for cooking beans and chuck roast is accurate. I often use my own recipes but always use the timing charts in this cookbook. That is the great thing about this book, the timing charts are very good. The recipes look good too, I just haven't used many yet.
This book also has a lot of interesting information about pressure cooking. I would highly recommend it, I always use it as at least a timing guide whenever ... Read More
Rating: - No pressure, this one's perfect!
In this comprehensive cookbook, Lorna Sass goes well beyond explaining the fundamentals of pressure cooking, which she does thoroughly.After giving the basic recipes with very clear instructions, she offers transformations, which show how to completely change the dish into something else by replacing a few ingredients.For example, in her Spanish Rice with Chicken and Sausage recipe, Sass magically makes possible Chicken Jambalaya and a Seafood and Chicken Paella.FOr me, this book went beyond a simple ...

Rating: - Very good
For beginners, I recommend "Miss Vickie" first because of her much longer chapters of valuable reference tables and guidlines. Next buy "Pressure Perfect" for Sass' thorough descriptions of cooking steps. I don't see much "gourmet" in any pressure cooking book, but rather very tasty, healthy, quickly prepared food. Sass' excellent, but simple, corned beef and cabbage recipe is a fine example that will make enthusiastic converts.
