The ultimate in pressure cooker books--with 500 recipes for breakfasts, soups, mains, grains, vegetables, and desserts--each adapted for stovetop or electric models, such as Instapot.

The old-fashioned pressure cooker has been rediscovered by modern home cooks, both for its quick-cooking powers (dried beans are perfectly soft in 35 minutes; risottos are tender in 20 minutes) and for its ability to infuse foods with intense flavor (carrots become sweeter, meat more savory). The Great Big Pressure Cooker Book has recipes for every device, stovetop and electric, no matter the manufacturer.

Whether you're seeking an adventurous array of spices, found in dishes such as Cherry Chipotle Pulled Chicken or Smashed Sweet Potatoes with Pineapple and Ginger, or pure comfort food, like French Toast Bread Pudding or Classic Pot Roast and Potatoes, you'll find the perfect recipe--each labeled by level of ease--to feed your family. This is the only pressure cooker book you'll ever need.

"The thing that makes this book so wonderful is that the recipes are the perfect balance between two extremes that I didn't want; the first being recipes for food that involve ingredients like canned mushroom soup to give them flavor, all taste the same, and don't get me any closer to my health goals, and the other extreme being highly gourmet dishes that require a personal loan to pay for the rare and hard-to-find ingredients. This book is the perfect balance--great tasting foods that use easy to find, fresh ingredients.

Before you decide to trust me with my cookbook-buying advice, you should know I CANNOT COOK. My entire life I have subsisted on a sad combination of eating out, frozen dinners, sandwiches and anything that would keep me safely away from my stove. I've tried slow cooking, which resulted in tired, bland food (and lots of it), and I've tried to learn to actually cook--but nothing stuck (except baking, which is somehow an entirely different skill set. If only I could live on homemade bread.) In December of last year, I realized that because I wasn't totally sure what was in the food that I was buying (packaged and processed or made in a restaurant where they were liberal with the salt, fat and sugar), I wasn't as healthy as I'd like. I realized I'd have to make some changes and I started reading about electric pressure cookers. I bought one, and then bought this book on Amazon's recommendation...I'm not kidding when I say it's changed my life. I chose my first recipe, "Southwestern Chicken and Ziti" because the instructions were basically "put everything in the pressure cooker and turn it on." When I tasted it, I'm not kidding, I called and texted almost everyone I know and told them I'd cooked something not only edible but DELICIOUS. I also did that obnoxious thing where I took pictures of my dinner and made people I love look at them. I havesince branched out and tried more complicated recipes and everything is AMAZING. I use the cooker and this book about three times a week.

To top off this experience, I had one recipe mishap and went to the authors' web site to write a comment wondering if they knew what I'd done wrong. Not only did I get a personal response (which blew my mind), but Mark actually tested the recipe and told me what had happened. I honestly couldn't believe how kind and personable he was about it!

I know it sounds like hyperbole, and maybe you won't believe me, but I have to say that this cookbook (and my beloved Cuisinart Pressure Cooker) have changed my eating habits, my health and the amount of money I spent eating out. AND, I know what's in my dinner every night--real food! Imagine that."

• I recently purchased an electric pressure cooker, and the few recipes and instructions I received with it were pitiful. I was pretty much on my own. I had found some recipes on Pinterest, but someone recommended this book to me, and I right away ordered it. I LOVE this book!!! It's full of 500 recipes, and most of them are fairly easy, with ingredients that you're likely to have on hand. I have a pressure canning group on Facebook, and have recommended it to everyone, as well as shared recipes that I've tried. I've also recommended this book on the reviews for the Power Pressure Cooker. (I wonder if they've seen a spike in sales P ) So far, there has been nothing that hasn't turned out perfect, and surprisingly delicious. I especially love the soup section. 5 to 8 minutes of cook time!! I also love the fact that not only are the ingredients pretty common, they also give you options if you want to change up an ingredient, and they also provide times for both stove top and electric pressure cookers. The book is full of helpful tips and information, as well. I highly recommend this book, especially if you are new to the world of pressure cooking. I think most people start out with the idea that you cook meat or beans in them, but honestly, I've tried it all, including hard boiled eggs!!
• So far, I totally love this book. I've tried a number of recipes, and not only did they work, but they tasted good. Even better, there's instructions for both stovetop and electric models, which is a huge plus. I have both types, and it's great to know exactly what the difference will be if I choose one over the other.
  
  Since I live at high altitude, I've needed to add a few minutes of cooking time to the recipes I tried, but that's not a big deal - I'm totally used to that now.
  
  With 500 recipes, it's pretty unlikely I'll make every single recipe, but this will be a great resource on the days when I get home later than planned and need to hurry things long. And, and electric pressure cooker is great in the summer, since it doesn't heat up the house as much. I'm looking forward to trying some of the more unusual recipes, like the cheesecake.
  
  Edit I had to come back and say that I tried the cheesecake recipe - I was pretty skeptical that a pressure-cooked cheesecake would work, and even more skeptical that it would work if left uncovered. Shouldn't it be a soggy mess? But no, it came out perfectly. I have no idea what voodoo happens that makes it work, but it does.
• The thing that makes this book so wonderful is that the recipes are the perfect balance between two extremes that I didn't want; the first being recipes for food that involve ingredients like canned mushroom soup to give them flavor, all taste the same, and don't get me any closer to my health goals, and the other extreme being highly gourmet dishes that require a personal loan to pay for the rare and hard-to-find ingredients.
