I bought my new pressure cooker today at Sears. It is a presto 6 quart. It was on sale so I got it for around 30 dollars. I had to put the handles on it after I got it home. I put 2 cups of water in it and put the electric stove on high. It didn't make a lot of noise like the one my mother had when I was a child. it sounded like a steam iron when you press the steam button. after being on high for a while I moved it to another burner that was on low heat. I read this somewhere in a cook book about pressure cookers if you are using an electric stove because it takes a while for the burner to adjust to the cooler temperature you can have one burner on high and the other on a lower temp. then after the cooker gets to the desired temp on high you can move it to the burner with the lower temperature. I noticed that it kept on cooking for about 5 minutes after I turned the burner completely off. I thought I would test it with 2 cups of water. any suggestions will be helpful. t hanks for the recomendations from everyone on the list. Bill Deatherage
