Maria,
A slow cooker and a crock pot are the same.
A pressure cooker cooks food about 3 times as fast as cooking on the stove
or in the oven.
Always, and I do mean ALWAYS release the pressure before removing the cover
of your pressure cooker. There is a valve that you can usually move about
half way and it will sound like steam escaping - because that's exactly what
it is.Hope that helps. I'll send recipes shortly.
By the way, you can cook dried beans in about 20 minutes. that means twenty
minutes after the pot comes up to pressure and you turn it down a little to
a simmer, it's not the whole cooking time on the stove. Maybe 30 minutes
all together. There is nothing cheaper than dried beans that I no of for
stretching the food budget and enjoying the dishes I make.

You can speed up the process by putting the entire pot in a sink of cold
water, but I have never found this to be necessary when I use the release
valve. I do not remove the valve entirely because liquid could spurt out of
it if there is alot in the pressure cooker.

Subject: [CnD] a couple of questions
Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can help me out here:
1. What is the difference between a Crockpot, slow cooker, and a pressure
cooker?
2. Does anyone have some recipes for the pressure cooker? I just got one
and am not sure what I can safely make in it.
My mom had one when I was a kid and I remember that she uncovered it and
some chicken parts went flying.
Thanks for your help.
Maria
