Their is a drawback to pressure cooking. You need to read the directions and follow them. When it says cook for 30 minutes then cool down it does not mean stick the pan in ice water. The best thing to do is crank that pressure cooker up full blast.lower the heat and let it cook for a good 30 Min's. then leave it alone all day. that's right let it sit. when you get home from shopping or work I don't care if you are cooking rhino spleens it is going to be tender.Another thing is don't allow your brain dead children get near that pot if they are the least bit hungry and when ain't they? If you have ever received 2nd degree burns from removing a lid off of a pot, you might be a Cajun. pressure cookers are made of thick stainless steel mine is anyways. you can brown the meat in that pressure cooker. a slow cooker ain't gonna brown nothing. once that meat been brown add no more water than half way up, any more than that is like a Chernobyl disaster. you don't want to go there. another thing is when it get up to temp you can turn the fire way down to the lowest setting and that thing will still be going full blast. cut your cooking time in half using less fuel with a pressure cooker, better flavor too.
