If you’re looking for ideas to put on your wishlist, or\u00a0some fun ideas for gifts for the pressure cooker lover in your life, I’ve got you covered with this\u00a0Electric Pressure Cooker Gift Giving Guide.<\/em><\/p>\n

This year I’m starting my gift giving guide with my favorite gift to give, my new pressure cookbook,\u00a0The Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook.\u00a0<\/em>It’s perfect for a beginner or the veteran pressure cooker user who’s in need of some great new recipes.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

THE ELECTRIC PRESSURE COOKER COOKBOOK<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is available at your favorite local bookstore, and at\u00a0Amazon<\/a>,\u00a0Barnes & Noble<\/a>,\u00a0Books-a-Million<\/a>,\u00a0Indiebound<\/a>,\u00a0Powells<\/a>,\u00a0QuartoKnows<\/a>, and in Canada at\u00a0Indigo-Chapters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0Kindle version<\/a>\u00a0is also available!<\/p>\n

Essential Pressure Cooking Accessories<\/h2>\n

There are pressure cooking accessories I use often enough that I consider them essential to pressure cooking.<\/p>\n

\"photo<\/p>\n

Most pressure cookers come with a rack\/trivet. You’ll use a rack often when you’re cooking things you don’t want sitting on the bottom of the pressure cooking pot, such as\u00a0cheesecake<\/a>!<\/p>\n

If you want to try your had at my Chocolate Pots de Cr\u00e8me<\/a>\u00a0pictured above,\u00a0you’ll need an additional\u00a0rack<\/a>. I’m also loving my 7 Inch Pizza Screen<\/a>\u00a0for double stack things like mini cheesecakes<\/a>\u00a0and creme brulee<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Making<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next, I recommend buying a steamer to keep the food up out of the water and to easily remove them from the pressure cooking pot. My favorite is the\u00a0OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Steamer<\/a>. This Fagor basket<\/a> is also great.<\/p>\n

The potatoes pictured above\u00a0are cut for\u00a0my popular Quick Pressure Cooker Potato Salad<\/a> recipe. You cook the eggs and the potatoes at the same type. It’s so quick and easy, you’ll fall in love with potato salad all over again.<\/p>\n

\"Instant<\/p>\n

You’ll want to have an extra silicone ring<\/a>. The silicone gasket absorbs odors and if you want to cook something like cheesecake, it’s nice to keep an odor free gasket on hand.<\/p>\n

It’s also nice to have in case the gasket\u00a0gets damaged – it’s rare when it’s new, but there’s been stories on Facebook about dogs, lids left on stoves.<\/p>\n

Two other must haves are a sling<\/a>, and an instant read thermometer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Cranberry<\/p>\n

Specialty Items<\/h2>\n

These gift recommendations are not necessities, but they sure are fun.<\/p>\n

I’m crazy about this\u00a07-Inch x 3-Inch Round Cake Pan,<\/a>\u00a0pictured above with my Cranberry French Toast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s also a great pan for cooking stack meals. Trying cooking Honey Sesame Chicken<\/a> on the bottom and white rice<\/a> on the top in the cake pan.<\/p>\n

I like to use\u00a0a taller rack<\/a> for stacked meals. And lately I’ve been using these\u00a0Retriever Tongs<\/a>\u00a0a lot to get my cake pan out of the pressure cooker.<\/p>\n

A\u00a06 Cup Bundt Pan<\/a>. for making\u00a0Pressure Cooker Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake<\/a>,\u00a0Steamed Carrot Pudding Cake<\/a>, and even\u00a0Stuffing in the Pressure Cooker<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I use my\u00a0Pyrex 6-Ounce Custard Cups<\/a>\u00a0to make\u00a0Flan<\/a>,\u00a0Creme Brulee<\/a>, and Egg Muffins<\/a> in the Pressure Cooker.<\/p>\n

An immersion blender<\/a> makes blending soups a breeze right in the pressure cooking pot.<\/p>\n

What about a second pressure cooker?<\/h2>\n

The Instant Pot Mini<\/a> is a fun 3 quart pressure cooker that is perfect as a second pressure cooker for side dishes. Or, it would make a great gift for singles, couples or a college student.<\/p>\n

Or, if you’ve been wanting a pressure cooker with a larger capacity. You can’t go wrong with the 8 quart Fagor<\/a> or 8 quart Instant Pot<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s been so fun to watch people fall in love with pressure cooking as much as I have. The Instant Pot Facebook Community group members<\/a>\u00a0really have fun with it. After seeing their\u00a0electric pressure cooker covers<\/a>, I couldn’t resist having Cindy custom make one for me.<\/p>\n

They’re also having fun with decals for the pressure cooker. I decided on a magic wand decal<\/a> because the pressure cooker doesn’t really cook in an instant, but it still seems pretty magical to me.<\/p>\n

Renee from,\u00a0Kudos Kitchen<\/a>, sent me a custom made, hand painted apron that you could customize however you like and would make a great gift.<\/p>\n

Another gadget recommended in the IP Facebook group is a meat chopper<\/a> for making quick work of breaking apart ground beef when browning it in the pressure cooker.<\/p>\n

The newest fun idea is using\u00a0Baby Food Storage Containers<\/a> to make little egg muffins and lava cakes. I’ve ordered one and hope to try it soon,<\/p>\n

That’s just a few of the new gadgets I’ve added to my collection this year, if you still want more ideas, check out my How to Get a Pan Out of the Pressure Cooker post<\/a>, and my\u00a0 Best Pressure Cooker Accessories post<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
