I do have one, but I'll be honest, it is a vintage one that came from my Granny when she passed away.. I love it because it is circa 1930's and so solid and of course it reminds me of all the food she used to cook for us.....

I also have her old crock pot, which I use more, to be honest, as for me I find it "safer" for when the kids are around.

BUT I do use the pressure cooker for "old faves" of my Granny:

-Corned beef
-Boiled beef and dumplings
- All stocks
- Soups
- Lamb shanks
- Casseroles

I also use it for marmalade and jam.......

I am honestly not really sure if it is more effective, I just like using it as I adored my Granny and I aspire to be like her and using her pressure cooker makes me feel happy and secure, LOL!
