I’m gonna be a little dramatic here when I say this, but to think of it now, I really don’t remember life before my favorite little kitchen gadget (my pressure cooker, of course). It’s become such a big part of my life, we even take it on vacation with us. And when I say that, I’m totally serious.

There are so many reasons I love my pressure cooker; the convenience of the set and go, how it doesn’t heat up my whole house in the summer months, the efficiency- you really can’t beat it. And if you’re looking for a pressure cooker of your own, you’ll really want to think about these things before you buy a pressure cooker.
