Just bought a pressure cooker and anxious to get the hang of it.

What experience do ya'll have with them? Favorite recipes?

I love my Instant Pot.

Here is a website that I have enjoyed.

Pressure Cooker Recipes

thanks

Let me know what you start with and how it goes.

Here are a couple more links that I have tried and loved....especially the green chili pork.

Beef Stew
Chicken Stock

The summer of '74 I worked at Taco Patio across the street from Penland and we used a large pressure cooker to cook the beans for the bean paste. Twenty pounds of beans, cup and a half salt, 2 lbs lard, fill with water. Twenty pounds of pressure for 90 minutes. Had to screw the lid on evenly all the way around to avoid an explosion. Or so they told us.

If you like pressure cooking you should consider getting an InstaPot. It is an automated pressure cooker that you can also use as a slow cooker or rice maker.

Edit: CTCbear beat me to the suggestion

A real "pressure cooker"

The Legendary Four Palms

The Four Palms is now out of business, but in its heyday it fit all the definitions of a dive: smoky, crowded, lots of drinking, lots of hustling, and some tough customers. At first glance you wondered if you stumbled into the Reptile House at the Houston Zoo by accident.

SSQQ used to go Whip dancing in the mid 1980s at the the Four Palms off Telephone Road. Long ago Telephone Road was infamous for its houses of ill repute. Upon my first visit in 1986, a cursory look suggested the area's past could easily be its present. This was definitely the Blue Side of Town.

The Four Palms was known as a "Pressure Cooker Bar", a phrase for a bar where bored and restless women would go looking for a little Meat on the Side. During the weekday while her husband was at work in the refinery and the kids were busy in school, some women were ready to get out of the house.

As her family's evening meal was slowing simmering in the Pressure Cooker at home, Momma would head over to the bar and look for action so she could do a little sizzling of her own.


The regulars would stroll in from 9 am on. The band started up at 11 am in the morning (it was jukebox from 10 am till 11 am). The hustle would begin just as soon as the women showed up. If a pair hit it off, they would give their business to a No-tell Motel, many of which were lined along Telephone Road. These institutions conveniently offered hourly rates.

The rule of thumb was "Score by Four". If you couldn't get some by 4 pm, then hang it up. That's when the band quit and the gals headed home to work on the evening meal for hubby. These women were called 'daylight Cinderellas' because many of them got home and changed clothes just in the nick of time.

The pressure cooker name was also earned when one of these places exploded when a suspicious husband might wander in and find Mama dancing with some salesman. They had several killings a year in that place.

I thought this was going to be about the aggy head coaching job.
