I have a Scanpan one. I love it and it cooks differently to a slow cooker (have one of those too but don't use nearly as much).
Favourite thing to cook - I have two.
1. Whole chicken in 2 litres of water. Makes poached chicken meat for other meals etc. or to put back in, and 1.5 litres of chicken stock to have as a soup or use as a stock for things like risottos . I normally cook the chicken, retain the water, pick off the meat and then place the carcass back in and top up with 500mls and put it back on again to make a stronger broth.
2. Corned beef and veg. What would normally take 1.5-2 hours of cooking on the stove top takes literally 30 minutes in the pressure cooker.
Ok now I want a pressure cooker too! I slow cook everything as I work lots and its easy to throw it all in and leave it - maybe I am just lazy! Hmmmm pressure cooker sounds even better!
LOL my slow cooker is one of the old fashion ceramic crock pots that was my nans, so what you have sounds way more whizz bang that anything that has ever entered this kitchen! I have 5 in 1 envy
I bought a pressure cooker a few weeks ago, am still learning how to use it, but am in love with it already.
Over-paid for it - a week later they had it half price damn! $160 down to $80.
We had home-made pies on friday night, just chucked in some cheap beef, chopped up some vegies with a little bit of stock and gravy. Re-heated in a frying pan at the end with some psyllium husk to thicken it up at the end then made into jaffle pies, yum!
MIL makes the best curries in hers too - the meat is soooo tender!
Only thing I have been warned about it to be very careful cooking lentils in there, the pressure can get too much apparently
