This is exactly what I wanted and well worth the price.  Pressure cooking is not that popular in the US now days, but was when I was a kid in rural Oregon.  This is the best way to make mincemeat, cook poultry, roasts, even steaks.  I even pressure cook bacon and then drain off the excess salt and fat, then microwave it a couple minutes to make it crisp without burning. Everything cooked with this comes out tender and cooks quickly.  The energy savings alone will pay for itself in short order, and it really saves time when a person does not want to waste their life in the kitchen.
