The Ultimate Pressure-Cooker Cookbook
Nobody knows more about pressure cookers than Vickie Smith, creator of the leading pressure-cooker Web site, MissVickie.com. Now, at last, Miss Vickie has gathered all of her pressure-cooker wisdom into a book. Whether you're a pressure-cooker newcomer or a longtime fan, you'll find all the recipes, techniques, and tips you need for a lifetime of great pressure-cooker meals.
Miss Vickie's Big Book of Pressure Cooker Recipes is jam-packed with nearly 400 fast, tasty, foolproof recipes, ranging from one-pot meals like Chicken and Rice with Mushrooms to Sweet and Sour Pork, Navy Bean Soup, and Chocolate Malt Cheesecake. Miss Vickie's detailed recipe instructions and special techniques, such as "pan in pot" pressure cooking, guarantee that each dish comes out perfectly cooked--and perfectly delicious.
But Miss Vickie gives you more than just great recipes. Her book also provides in-depth guidance on every aspect of choosing and using a pressure cooker, including:
*
A buyers' guide to modern pressure cookers
*
Step-by-step pressure-cooker instructions
*
Pressure-cooker safety
*
Basic and advanced pressure-cooking techniques
*
Common mistakes in pressure cookery
*
Adapting recipes to the pressure cooker
*
Tips, tricks, and troubleshooting
Offering hundreds of recipes that are proven to work--and proven delicious--plus plain-English answers to all of your pressure-cooker questions, Miss Vickie has created the single most useful pressure-cooker book ever published. It's a resource you'll turn to again and again as you explore the world of pressure-cooker possibilities and pleasures.
The recipes in this book are heavy on fat and overcooked vegetables and chicken breasts. Chop suey? What's that? Not Chinese, by any stretch of the imagination. Some recipes feature canned mushroom soup.
I'm giving this to the Salvation Army. Money wasted. Stick with Lorna Sass.

Customer Reviews:
Informative, helpful
Purchased this book when I replaced my 40 year old pressure cooker as I thought perhaps I could benefit from a refresher course. Am very pleased with this book. It is very informative, well organized, and there are several new recipes I would like to try. Another reviewer said there were weird ingredients in some dishes...well, leave them out, adjust the recipe to suit yourself &/or family. That's what all of us who have been cooking for a life time do & why there are so many "variations on a theme". We wing it, make do, and continue to produce tasty, healthy dishes for our families. Miss Vickie's book is a winner! 2008-09-02
Back to the Fifties
The pressure cooker techniques are fine. I've used and sold many brands of cooker, so I was hoping to find some new recipes.
The recipes in this book are heavy on fat and overcooked vegetables and chicken breasts. Chop suey? What's that? Not Chinese, by any stretch of the imagination. Some recipes feature canned mushroom soup.

PRESSURE COOKER RECIPES
I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE WHO HAS OR IS THINKING ABOUT A PRESSURE COOKER. EXCELLENT RECIPES 2008-08-26
A book only her mother could love, and I hope she does.
I don't understand all the fuss over this book. It's wonderful that people are finding out about pressure cookers, but Miss Vickie's book is an inferior product, and it would take more than ten minutes in a pressure cooker to make it edible. Many of the recipes here first saw life in other pages, and the odd combinations of ingredients would give an experienced cook acid reflux without ever opening the pantry. It's cute to call yourself "Miss," but this book is a genuine miss. If you want to find real pressure cooker recipes that work, are healthy, quick, and tasty, go straight to Lorna Sass's books -- still the edible gold standard in this high-pressure field. 2008-08-25
Great Book
Love it. I have an electric pressure cooker so there is a little adjusting required but overall this is a GREAT book. 2008-08-14
