So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Learn More About The Presto Pressure Cooker

By Joe Maldonado


If you are looking into purchasing a Presto pressure cooker, it may be necessary for you to learn more about how it works so that you can get the most out of your investment. With a cooker like this, you can save up to 70% on energy used. You will use much less gas than normal. You will have the ability to make meals that are actually healthy, without having to spend hours in the kitchen. Not only does your food get cooked faster, but it will hold on to more nutrients and it will be much more tender.

These cookers come in different sizes, like 4, 6 and 8 quarts. You can get the pressure canners in 16 or 23 quarts. However, the average family will find that 4-6 quarts will be sufficient.

When it comes to pressure cookers of any kind, there are some safety issues that you have to be aware of. These cookers operate with extremely high pressure, so in order to avoid any accidents or injuries you must pay close attention to safety guidelines. You will find that markings are placed at and 2/3 levels. You should never put foods in the cooker that are going to expand higher than the mark. It is important that you never overfill your pressure cooker.

The water is what creates the pressure in your cooker. You can damage your cooker by cooking when it is dry, because you will cause it to overheat. For this reason, it is important that you always add water to your cooker before using it.

Make sure that before you close the lid to your cooker you have checked the vent hole. Make sure that it is not obstructed or clogged in any way. If it is, make sure that you clean it out before your close the lid.

There will be a significant amount of pressure building up inside your cooker, so before you open it up you will have to release this pressure. In the event that you neglect to release the steam before opening the pressure cooker, you may end up getting burnt. There is a possibility that the cooker will actually explode.

In order to use your Presto pressure cooker, you need to know how it works. Once you close the lid and begin to apply heat, pressure starts to build inside your cooker. In most cases, the temperature will not get any higher than 212 degrees until you remove the liquid. The steam is actually what makes your meat products come out more tender.

Always be sure to add plenty of liquid to your cooker and also be sure that you have looked at the vent before you lock the lid. Then you should continue to heat up your cooker until you see the pressure regulator rocking. This is when you should begin timing the cooking.

If you want to cool of your Presto pressure cooker even faster, you can place it in the sink and run cold water over it, and then you are finished!
