David gave me an electric pressure cooker
You see, modern pressure cookers are so easy to use and the particular one that David bought contains a stainless steel insert (so no nonstick coating touches our food!).
I can make chickpeas, black beans, brown rice, etc, with the push of a button. No need to soak the beans beforehand or keep an eye on the stove. I simply put the ingredients in the pressure cooker, plug it in, pick a setting with the push of a button, and about an hour later a weeks worth of beans are fully cooked and being kept warm, ready to be devoured.
Exactly how did I prepare meals before this?!
It’s so easy! Plus, we’re saving quite a bit of money making our own beans instead of going through cans of them each week.
This pressure cooker is my new favorite kitchen tool. Thank you, David. I’m sorry it’s taken me three months to use it finally. I really love it now.
I am so enjoying mine too! So far, I’ve made beef stew, beans and sweet potatoes — all in a fraction of the time it normally takes and they taste great, and in some cases better! I’ve learned that in addition to being cheaper, cooking beans yourself is much more nutritious and causes less gas than canned beans + no BPA and less packaging! Win, win, win!
I had one, and it wasn’t as nice as yours. I was so afraid of it after hearing someone tell a story about how theirs blew up and the lid got stuck on the ceiling. We finally tried to make rice in it, and did something horribly wrong – it blew open and exploded. I… I love the idea, but apparently lack the basic skills to run one!
