Finally, I love beef.....because I can finally cook it properly. You can cook a legit meal in 20 mins (plus some time for pressure to go away). I had heard horror stories of pressure cookers and people getting hurt, but the instructions were clear, headed warnings, and included pictures, which was great for a beginner like me. I cook mostly pakistani food, so this thing is a necessity; idk what the heck took so long for me to get on the bandwagon, but this purchase was a good one. Although I'm a beginner, my mother in law (who is a pro in the kitchen) also prefers this same pressure cooker.
