I'm a single guy that does almost all my own cooking. Mostly beans, soups, and chicken.

These pressure cookers, (at sea level) speed up the cooking times dramatically!. Also, for reheating leftovers, its great!

Last night, I found a store bought rotisserie chicken that was half eaten and 6 days old in the frig, most would throw it out. Not me! Pop it in the pressure cooker, add a little water, can of Mushroom soup, bring up to pressure (15psi) for 5 mins, damn it was good!

Its not like you eat it whole. Most people don't know what in pot luck most of the time.

The newer ones don’t explode. One of their best features.

The newer ones are made in China...

A pressure cooker is how Colonel Sanders got his start. He used a pressure cooker to fry up chicken at his gas station in Corbin, KY and then handed out samples to people who were gasing up and invited him to eat more inside. And the rest is food history...

“Really,, I tried possum in a crock-pot,,,, very greasy and not tasty, stank! I may try a younger one some day on the grill.”

Possums eat carrion.

Wouldn’t the pressure kill all possible bacteria? If not, what is the deal with pressure canning versus regular canning?

Lots of info like this on the web, google botulism toxin pressure cooker, ton-o-stuff.

This was interesting:

We have been told to throw swollen food cans away. However, with Chastisement unfolding; a stock bubble about to burst, earth changes over the horizon, you may want to save those swollen cans, if food becomes scarce, and your food storage gets very thin. Then you can open the swollen cans carefully, and pour into a container, taking care not to splash any on you; bring to a boil for 15 minutes (30–40 minutes would be better) and eat, better to pressure cook for 15 psi for 15 minutes at 250 F. If it contains botulism, the bacteria's toxin, it will be destroyed. High heat destroys the toxin, but not the spores; pressure cooking does destroy the spores using the above psi and temperature. The spores can withstand boiling for nearly 20 hours. Most people are unaware this.
