Hi,
For accessibility, I use a Tefal ActiFry cooker, they are fantastic, there
is an on/off button and time is in increments of 1 minute... Steaks cook in
about 15-20 minutes for very well done and are super tender.... It can
however be used for almost anything, sausage rolls in 7 minutes, bacon in 15
etc etc. It uses no oil, or very little if cooking fresh chips.. Baked
potatoes in 40 minutes.
Regarding the ham, cook it in full Coke, or beer, removes the salty taste
from it...
That's all the cooking help for today!! :D
Mike

Hi Richard
I use a Prestige pressure cooker and slow cookers from both Morphy Richards
and Russell Hobbs.
The slow cookers I find to be much better for cooking hams as the salt seems
to dissipate better than when cooked in the pressure cooker.
Preparation prior to cooking being the same in each case.
The important thing with a pressure cooker is to adhere to the instructions
to reduce pressure prior to opening it.
Mine is quite old, but still functional, and I gather that the more modern
models have extra safety aspects built in.
Vegetables seem to be better in a pressure cooker, and easier to control
them to be Al Dente.
I tend to use the slow cookers rather more as I have other things which I
prefer to do rather than stand in front of a stove!

Hi List,
Another query for the established cooks amongst you! Does anyone use a
pressure cooker? If so, a recommendation on any VI friendly hardware will be
greatly appreciated.
I listened in to The Food Programme a couple of weeks ago on Radio 4 and the
topic was slow and pressure cookers. I have aslow cooker which I love but I
really didn't realise the benefits of cooking under pressure! not only for
speed but fuel efficiency, we all know gas is not getting any cheaper so
time limited on my hob sounds like a bonus!
Secondly, some VI friendly recipe websites/blog recommendations would also
be very welcomed.
Thank you. Enjoying the banter.
Best wishes
Rich
