Hi Barbara – the electrics are easier because the pressure cooker regulates the pressure and you don’t have to. However, it works on the same principle as a stovetop pressure cooker. The electric pressure cooker doesn’t start counting down until it has reached pressure. So bring your stovetop pressure cooker to pressure the way you normally would and then reduce the heat to maintain temperature and start a timer for the time in the recipe you’re using. If a recipe has less than 1 cup liquid, you may need to add additional liquid for a stovetop pressure cooker depending on how proficient you are at regulating the pressure. Have fun!

I have a Gourmia pressure cooker that I just bought from Amazon. I will try these recipe in my cooker and learn them.

Thanks Tina – definitely change it up to suit your tastes.

Hi Margaret – I’m so glad you found me too. My slow cooker rarely makes it out of the cupboard either. Food is so much better tasting when prepare in the pressure cooker. Have fun!

Sorry you’re struggling Sue. What recipe did you use? What pressure cooker are you using? Have you tried easy things like applesauce? How about my potato salad?

Hi Linda – I’m hoping to include more in the new year. Have fun with your new pressure cooker!
