   Hi Barbara
   I have a conventional pressure cooker given to me. I want to use it but the electric sounds so much easier! Can you give me some tips please? Barb

     Hi Barbara – the electrics are easier because the pressure cooker regulates the pressure and you don’t have to. However, it works on the same principle as a stovetop pressure cooker. The electric pressure cooker doesn’t start counting down until it has reached pressure. So bring your stovetop pressure cooker to pressure the way you normally would and then reduce the heat to maintain temperature and start a timer for the time in the recipe you’re using. If a recipe has less than 1 cup liquid, you may need to add additional liquid for a stovetop pressure cooker depending on how proficient you are at regulating the pressure. Have fun!

   Thanks for suggesting these top ten pressure cooker recipes, they look vary tasty to me.

   I have a Gourmia pressure cooker that I just bought from Amazon. I will try these recipe in my cooker and learn them.

   I tried the Pork Chops in the pressure cooker last night. Those were awesome! I do think that the next time I make these, I’ll add some garlic (either minced or powder) and some parsley. Other than that, everyone really enjoyed them and asked for them again. I served them over rice. No other veggies were necessary. Thank you for the recipe.

     Thanks Tina – definitely change it up to suit your tastes.

   Cant wait to try these, I really need to expand my EPC repertoire! There is no comparison between the slow cooker and the EPC…. I rarely take the slow cooker out. It isn’t necessary when I can be out of the house 10 hours at work and get a great meal on the table in minutes. Why does the food from the EPC taste so much better?
   I am so glad I found this site. Turkey looks great.

     Hi Margaret – I’m so glad you found me too. My slow cooker rarely makes it out of the cupboard either. Food is so much better tasting when prepare in the pressure cooker. Have fun!

   Yet again. Chicken Fiesta in pressure cooker. Thrown in garbage. So confused why everyone loves it. In a good cook, love expert recipes, love easy recipes. Love a crock pot. Why does nothing work in the pressure cooker! Garage sale for sure

     Sorry you’re struggling Sue. What recipe did you use? What pressure cooker are you using? Have you tried easy things like applesauce? How about my potato salad?

   Just ordered an EPC, and looking for some tempting vegetarian recipes..(aiming to have a plant-based diet)…would love if you could share some as options, as your recipes looked delicious. :))

   • Barbara Schieving — December 19, 2015 Reply

     Hi Linda – I’m hoping to include more in the new year. Have fun with your new pressure cooker!

   I just realized that there are more comments below this box. It’s a delight to read the comments of happy ‘customers’ of your site. I don’t care for meatloaf, but my 86 year old mom does. I, too, am just about to start using an electric pressure cooker, and just needed a push. The butter chicken got me so excited, I’m ordering it online tonight. I love Amazon, at the same time as fearing them.
   Thanks so much for all the time and effort you put into this blog. I wouldn’t do it, myself, any more. I’m only doing the EPC because I just don’t want to cook at all anymore, and if I can throw stuff in a pot, push a couple of buttons, and walk away until it’s done, I’m so there. Juicing, an occasional stir-fry or scrambled egg, augmented by toast, microwaved boxed soup, or frozen pizza comprise all I ever care to cook again otherwise. But the EPC could be a game changer, or a total waste of money. I’m up for a gamble on food I wouldn’t take the time to cook otherwise.
   And I have to face it: I’m going to have to cook for my mother, too, soon. She likes that kind of food better than I, but it’s certainly comfort food, because I grew up with it.
   So, thanks again, for a great site.

   Not sure I have a favorite yet. I’ve had my electric pc less thank a month but have made at least 10 of your recipes and each one has been amazing. Thanks for the wonderful recipes.

    They all look good, but that meatloaf is calling my name!

    • Barbara Schieving — January 2, 2015 Reply

      Definitely give it a try Kalyn!

    • Marguarita — January 2, 2015 Reply

      that meatloaf is to die for! I hated meatloaf, but for some reason this one kept calling my name. I made it and thought I died and went to heaven. I couldn’t call my mom fast enough to tell her all about it. I purchased a pressure cooker for her for xmas. My brother has gained 35 pounds eating her meals from her cooker. He loved it so much that for xmas she bought him one. Love these recipes, and its great sharing all our tips with each other. Try the meatloaf!!!! OMG, now I gotta make it again, oh darn 😉

      • Barbara Schieving — January 2, 2015 Reply

        Thanks Marguarita! lol So glad I could make you fall in love with meatloaf. Now you’ve got me wanting to have it tonight 🙂 I also love that you got your family pressure cooking it too.

    Barbara, I love you and you’re pressure cooking website! Why are’nt you on Food Network…Cooking Channel? I, found both your websites…love the way you communicate! Makes everything looks so good, happy eating! Because of you, I ordered me the Instant Pot! Getting it Friday, so excited!
    Question, I noticed many of the recipes calls for when you hear a beep…well, I am deaf…will never hear the beep! Can you tell me how I can tell if the beep sounds.
    I would love to see you on TV!

    • Barbara Schieving — January 1, 2015 Reply

      Thanks Maggie – what a sweet comment! Maybe someday The Food Network will recognize my genius lol. I’m so exited for you to get cooking with your new Instant Pot. Not being able to hear the beep isn’t a problem, the digital display also counts down to zero so you’ll know when the cooking time has ended. I just go by the beep because I can hear it from the other room. Have fun!

    I love your Quinoa Almond Pilaf, Pressure Cooker Zuppa Toscana, Garden Minestrone and we enjoy the Country Style Barbecue Pork Ribs I converted from the crock pot to the pressure cooker.

    I have SO many of your recipes on my TO TRY list…..can’t wait to get started. And I hope to get some more slow cooker recipes converted over to my electric pressure cooker. I’m still gonna get a cheesecake made in there too…….

    Oh…and my son in law came through and got our daughter Robin a pressure cooker for Christmas-she’s used it and LOVES it…bet you’ll have a new follower of your blog soon!

    Happy New Year, Barbara.

    Carol

      Happy New Year Carol! I’m so glad Robin is enjoying her pressure cooker. Thanks for sharing your favorites and sweet comments during 2014.

13. Foodiewife — December 31, 2014 Reply

    These are all top recipes. I’ve made several of them, but the cheesecake has been the most brilliant discovery in pressure cooking. I don’t have the time or energy to start a separate pressure cooking blog, as you have. Still, I’m going to continue sharing pressure cooker recipes, even though so many readers are afraid to try this wonderful way of cooking. Last night, I re-read some of my pressure cooker cookbooks and I’m committed to using mine even more! Thanks for all the inspiration you’ve given me.

    I did not expect to see cheesecake on here! Fascinating to see the diversity of recipes and creative ideas.

    • Barbara Schieving — January 2, 2015 Reply

      Thanks Jameson! Cheesecake loves the moist environment of the pressure cooker.

    I’ve been thinking about getting a pressure cooker…and you’ve finally inspired me to go for it! Your recipes all look incredible. I can’t wait to try them out!

    • Barbara Schieving — January 2, 2015 Reply

      So glad I could inspire you to start pressure cooker. You’re going to love it.

    Wow, Barbara, this may be the year I have to finally get a pressure cooker. I’ve been contemplating the idea for far too long. It’s amazing to see all these wonderful dishes–all prepared in a pressure cooker. Your New York Cheesecake with Toffee Pecan Shortbread Cookie Crust looks incredible. Glad to have discovered your blog and will be following closely in 2015. Happy New Year! 🙂

      Thanks Susan! So glad you discovered me too.

17. Bonnie — December 31, 2014 Reply

    All good recipes Barbara. Tried most of them and still have a few to go. Thanks for the inspiration. I bought 2 pressure cookers for me, one for my Mom, and my sister got one for herself. Keep the recipes coming!

      Hi Bonnie! It’s been way too long. So fun that you’ve got your sister and Mom pressure cooking too. Thanks for letting me know you’re enjoying my recipes. Hope you have a wonderful new year.
