Pressure cookers have been around for generations, but are making a big comeback. Not to be
confused with a pressure canner, the modern pressure cooker can be an automated all-in-one
device, or a stove top cooker. Regardless of the technological advances, people are still
intimidated by the pressurized contents and the possibility of having hot food explode out of the
cooker. Idiot's Guides- Pressure Cooking gives you the tools you need to get the most from
your pressure cooker-- all while feeling safe. This book covers-
