100 Foolproof Recipes That Will Change the Way You Cook

In Pressure Cooker Perfection, the first volume in our new test kitchen handbook series, the editors at America’s Test Kitchen demystify an appliance that intimidates too many home cooks. Modern pressure cookers are safer, quieter, more reliable, and more user-friendly than old-fashioned jiggle-top models. And they can prepare a wide range of foods, everything from barbecue to risotto, in record time. Cooking under pressure results in better-tasting dishes because every drop of flavor is trapped in the sealed pot. This fact, combined with the shorter cooking time, means that your dishes will be supercharged with flavor. And cooking under pressure is versatile. While they’re ideal for roasts and stews, pressure cookers can also turn out perfectly tender beans, grains, and legumes in short order.
