Book Reviews of Pressure Cookers For Dummies

Summary: 5 Stars
I have a couple of PC books but this is my favorite. have already tried about 4 or 5 recipes in this since I got it. The sauerbraten was the best!Book Review: good info
Summary: 5 Stars
the information in this book is nice to have in plain talk for those of us who did not grow up with a pressure cooker in the houseBook Review: not a replacement of an owners manual
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great book that backs up your owners manual of your pressure cooker. My main concern when I bought my pressure cooker was safety. I figured they were safer than the old models that blew up but I wanted to know why. Also I know that if I understand the basics of this apparatus I could potentially avoid problems since I know it is impossible to idiot proof anything 100%. After reading the book, I able to use the pressure cooker with confidence. I think its main strengths are the basic information it provides on the safety of pressure cookers, how different types of pressure cookers work and cooking times for common ingredients used in pressure cookers, e.g. soups and beans. One reviewer criticized this book for not providing step by step instructions. This is very difficult cause there are different types of pressure cookers. My owners manual is very specific compared to the this book. I would agree with other reviewers that I would not buy this book just for the recipes. I tried the beef stew and chicken cacciatore and I liked both of them. However, I improvised a mexican pozole soup and chile colorado and liked them even more.Book Review: good book
Summary: 4 Stars
this book is very helpful when first learning to use a pressure cooker. i have an electric pressure cooker, which this book doesn't make much mention of (it talks about manual pressure cookers), but it was easy to translate the recipes over to my cooker. the only thing is that most of the recipes in this book uses ingredients that my family doesn't like so i won't be using most of the recipes but it will be easy to convert my recipes using his recipes as a guide. the book is also laid out very well, it's easy to find things.Book Review: Beginner book for a good cook
Summary: 4 Stars
Very much like the other For Dummies books. I like the book but it does contradict itself in places. It's not hard to figure out what's right (read your manual and not this book). If you read the book cover to cover, a few of this kind of error jumps out at you. Otherwise, it's great. I learned what I want in my new pressure cooker, how it works, how to use it, and how to convert recipies to be made in the cooker. I can't wait to try some of the recipies.
