    Sell me a pressure cooker.

    Why do you have a pressure cooker - what are the benefits? I've always been scared of blowing myself up with one, so I've never gotten one....but now I'm curious. So sell them to me!

    We have one. It's a 5 in 1 so it's a pressure cooker/slow cooker etc. I worry about it blowing up.
    TBH I don't think it has much benefit. It cooks stuff quickly when we're running a bit late but that's it.

    Um....... I think you have to believe in your product to sell it lol.

    I have a 5 in 1 as well, only had it a few months so still getting used to it. The pressure cooker function has saved my butt a few nights and it is nice to know I can plan a meal on a work night, that beforehand I could not. DH is still a bit dodge about silverside being cooked in it, I think it is fine, he has just been spoilt by my stove top one

    In brief, I wouldn't worry too much about blowing yourself up. New pressure cookers have two or three pressure relief valves, and if you look after your machine (mainly by keeping it clean). I used to have a huge pc, but I don't anymore, and I do miss it. It was one of the old cast aluminium ones. I am still looking for a replacement

    I have the 5in 1. Best thing ever. We eat heaps of legumes and pulses, so it makes life super easy for us. If I'm organized early, I put it on slow cook. If we're late, pressure cook. It turns itself off/down so it doesn't matter if I'm pinned to the couch feeding, r up to my elbows in poosplosion or whatever. And easy to clean. I use it 4-5 nights a week.

    Also a 5 in 1 owner. Life. Saver. slow cooker has come out twice since I bought it - and that was only because I wanted the size of my slow cooker (it is huge).

    BUY. ONE. NOW. Best $200 we ever spent.

    I have an old style one sitting in my cupboard. It used to belong to my great aunt.

    I remember my mum using hers all the time and she still uses it.

    I know it was the only way she cooked silverside and it was always tender.
