We own 2 pressure cookers.

One is a massive beast used for heavy duty or high volume canning, cooking huge batches of tamales, etc.

The other is a counter-top electric job. I wasn't sold when my wife came home with it, but it's actually pretty utilitarian, especially since it's now just the two of us.

This week we cooked up a 3 pound roast. Just added a jar of pepperoncinis including the juice, and cooked for 90 min. Came out perfect. Cilantro lime rice? Done in a few minutes. Lentils or beans? Cooks quick! Stroganoff in 20 minutes? Check!

Tonight I am grilling some shrimp and the missus is making a mushroom risotto in the cooker.

The time and effort is a quarter of stove top prep.

The DIPCHIT ADD, after a morning of drinking:

You despair, repeatedly, constantly! daily basis?
A despair ninny.
Sack up, despire ninny.
