Product Description:
Under pressure to get a tasty, nutritious dinner on the table in a flash? Like the idea of preparing fork-tender beef stew in thirty minutes and pot roast in under an hour? All this and more is made possible by the pressure cooker, a magical appliance that produces soul-satisfying, homemade food in one-third (or less) the standard cooking time.
In Pressure Perfect, Lorna Sass, the country's leading authority on pressure cooking, distills her two decades of experience into one comprehensive volume. First learn everything you need to know about buying and using today's 100% safe cookers. Then enjoy more than 200 recipes for preparing soups, meats, poultry, grains, beans, vegetables, and desserts in record time. How about whipping up a savory risotto in 4 minutes, chicken cacciatore in 12 minutes, or a delectable chocolate cheesecake in 25 minutes?
Because the pressure cooker tenderizes tough cuts of meat quickly, you can prepare fall-off-the-bone beef short ribs or lamb shanks on weekday nights instead of waiting for a special occasion. The pressure cooker also allows you to make delectable one-pot meals in minutes. Among the many innovative recipes and techniques, you'll learn to cook meatloaf and potatoes simultaneously in 10 minutes, and meatballs, pasta, and sauce at the same time in only 5 minutes. Many recipes also suggest Cook-Along ideas for preparing vegetables and grains along with the entrée.
To further help those cooking under pressure (and who isn't nowadays?), each chapter contains timing charts for quick reference. Tips and Pressure Points in every recipe ensure optimum results.
This ultimate guide to pressure cooking is a must for all busy cooks, boaters, brides, college students, and anyone looking for a great way to make irresistible, healthy, home-made food fast.

Rating:  - Lorna does it again!
Just when I think I've gotten hold of the sorts of things I can make in a pressure cooker, Lorna Sass comes out with another recipe book. There are so many exciting things in this book that I've been walking around hungry for days, just thinking about what I'll try next.
Tonight, I made the Meatloaf with Cheddar Smashed Potatoes. I was reticent. I love meatloaf, and I love my pressure cooker, but still... steamed meatloaf? I envisioned some kind of meat dish that fell apart instead ... Read More
Rating: - Terrific Cookbook!
I have three pressure cooker cookbooks, and this is by far my favorite. The recipes are great. But, IMHO the best thing about this book is the detailed timing charts. Apart from timing charts at the beginning of each section, many of the main dish recipes include timing information so that you can easily vary the cut of meat used.
When I make my own tried & true recipes, I often refer to the timing chart to determine how to best make them in the pressure cooker.

Rating:  - Cookbook for those who know how to cook
I looked at this book when I first got it and decided the receipes were not anything I would ever make I sent the book back because it is too technical example What the hell is a reconstituted mushroom?
Rating: - Good cookbook for Pressure Cookers
I just got a Fagor pressure cooker and not a clue how to make stuff in high altitude. I got several pressure cookbooks and this one was a good addition. Pressure Perfect gives many options for one recipe which I really like. The first recipe I tried was the Green Split Pea soup. It has wonderful flavor and was a hit with my husband who loves split pea soup. I just moved to high altitude area near Denver so that is why I got a pressure cooker. The soup was done in 30 minutes! Yum!!
Rating: - Top Tool
