My Christmas treat for myself, this year, was an ELECTRIC pressure cooker.
I had an old fashioned one....the kind used on top of the stove...
But, the electric one is soo much easier to use...and it has digital programming, so you don't have to "watch it".....
I can't tell you how much I am in love with it! It is so fast!
For example....I can buy a bag of dried pinto beans for about 80cents....and, make a whole pot in 25 minutes......then, use the beans in all sorts of tex-mex foods for several days....
I got it for about half-price on e-bay (it had been used only once)......
