I have just purchased a Pressure Cooka and I was wondering if anyone had any recipes for me to try. I have not used it yet but it looks like you can cook a meal with meat and vegs from just 10 minutes to 30 minutes. It is going to save so much time for me in my cooking. I have a slow cooka but it has to be on all day to get that tender taste. The pressure cooka can do the same in just 30 mintues and have that great tender taste of the meat. Thanks for your help in any recipes you might have for me.

Hi Kelly, watch this space as I will ask my darling wife for some advise as she is a pressure cooker addict. A word of advice though, not all meals are possible to be cooked well by this method. Here is one simple dish even I can cook.
1 whole cauliflower (stem cut flat so it sits on tray, no leaves)
2 cloves garlic (crushed)
50 to 80 g of unsalted butter
Place Cauliflower whole in cooker with 1cm water.
Make sure that the whole head is out of the water.
Shut the lid and as soon as it has reached the recommended pressure remove
from heat and stand for 1 minute or less depending on how crisp you like your Cauliflower.
While the pressure is building in your cooker put butter and garlic in microwave and zap for 20 sec or until butter is melted. leave in microwave until needed.
Open cooker, remove cauliflower and put on serving dish.
Stir butter to distribute garlic and pour over Cauliflower.
Cut into as many pieces as you like and serve with fresh bread or buns of your choice.
If you want variety fry some breadcrumbs and combine with butter and garlic.
This makes a great lunchtime snack.
