I never understand people that are afriad of modern pressure cookers. It is impossible for them to explode like the ones from the 60′s and earlier. I have 3 pressure cookers and I use at least one of them everyday. There is no better way to cook most anything with them.

I love the idea of the camp stove but I can’t afford one. So I pulled out my base for my turkey fryer and used that. Works great.

Hi,I read the last post and had the same problem of waiting for the time to reach pressure. After some talking to many people found out that I would need a cooking stove (bought one for camping) to reach higher BTU’s so I can finish all the canning, reaching the pressure in just minutes. I bought a Camp Chief that reaches 64,000 btu’s and has 2 burners. I can pressure can and water bath at the same. I work full time so this saves me a lot of time.

OMG.. I love the tip of adding boiling water to the bottom of the pressure cooker… The first time I tried doing anything in the pressure cooker, I covered the jars… (so it took like an hour to come up to pressure) and then of course the time to cook at pressure, and then of course cool down.. I was like great.. I dont like veggies cooked for 3 hours… umm guess that is out for me.. and no one ever seemed to understand why I was so confused.. LOL

Can the beef stock be turned into just a vegetable stock? That is, can I simply omit the meat and still use the same processing time/pressure? Also, if I added a few additional veggies, would I have to change the processing time? Thanks!

I’d love to try this except I’m kind of afraid of pressure cookers. My dad used one quite often but I remember one time it exploded in the kitchen & it’s scared me from trying one ever since.
