how was the chicken?My favourite pc "horror story" was told by my DH about a friend. Friend was cooking a whole chicken in the PC. I think he forgot it was on the stove. The entire chicken flew out through the safety valve and implanted itself in the ceiling. The PC was fine, but needed a new safety valve.

there have been a couple of threads recently about slow cookers/crock pots & i swear by mine.fill it up in the morning,come home from work to a hot meal..fab!but,in some respects i prefer my pressure cooker.prepare the ingredients in the morning,as you would for slow cooking,come home at night,in the cooker....15-20 mins later hot meal.
personally i prefer the pressure cooker because i think the pc has the edge on flavour compared to the same dish in a sc,a 140 watt sc on for 6 hours uses more than twice the power that a pc on a 1200watt hob plate for 20 mins uses & my pressure cooker helped me end a relationship with a clingy girlfriend
my fav pressure cooker meals are:
irish stew(a taste from my childhood-bolas & i still reminisce about it) neck end of lamb(lots of bone,lots of fat=lots of flavour),big chunks of potato,carrot & onion,chicken stock,salt,lots of ground black pepper & if you want to be cheffy some fresh thyme too.
cheats souvlaki(well it tastes a bit like it!) thick cut pork shoulder steaks,lemon juice,chopped garlic,greek oregano,chopped parsley,olive oil,red wine vinegar,salt,ground black pepper,chicken stock
what do you cook in your's
pressure cookers.....they are indeed man's second best friendIrish Stew - SPOT ON with the lamb .. I use round neck, middle neck, lamb rib in my irish stew, but I do get rid of a lot of the fatty residue. I remember my gran making her stews or Bredies is what we call them in South Africa .. if you are a slow eater like I am the fat would start to stick to the fork, and also the roof of your mouth !!
I do Oxtail , lamb shanks in red wine or mint, Tomato Bredie, bean bredie, cabbage bredie, braised steak, slow cooked braised lamb or mutton leg, shoulder, beef olive, various soups, beetroot, curries and so much more ...... ALL IN THE PRESSURE COOKER
!slow eater? you'd have starved in our house....still got the fork marks in my arm to prove it.......

could you post a pressure cooker curry recipe or two please didiod
I think I take longer to eat than some foods cooked in the PC. I did learn to eat pretty quickly when in boarding school tho. My friends all know me by now and are used to me still eating after we have left the table. That is what enjoying food is all about ... good company, good food and of course some good vino.

classy chick

fair comment
!
they are a joy....particularly with our weather and,as i said when i started the thread,imo they have the edge on slow cookers in the texture/flavour department too(much as i love my sc).they cost less to run meal for meal too
I would think it was chicken soup !
