Microwave Pressure Cooker

This is an excellent product . I though of ways of inventing one - then they came on the market.Ideal for pre-heating ingredients for the slow cooker, stews etc.Produces wonderful 'baked potatoes' - microwave for 22 min on high with tops scored down about a quarter through, then brown under a grill.Being single, I wrap the surplus in foil and pop them in the fridge when cold. Just microwave to reheat (not with the foil !) - simple!Ideal for single persons, students, pensioners etc.At the price they are, they are a great aid for a host of uses in the kitchen. I wouldn't be without mine.....

I was given my microwave pressure cooker about two years ago and thought "Oh dear, another microwave gimmick". I am an avid pressure cooker user but find my "Normal" pressure cooker very heavy. So I decided to try the microwave pressure cooker for the first time recently. Why, oh why didn't I use this before? It is brilliant! Light and easy to clean I cooked new potatoes and cabbage in eight minutes! Apart from the usual advantages of only having to use one pan for all your veg, this little gem is lightweight, easy to clean and easy to store. there is no long drawn out waiting time for steam to be released before being able to open the lid either. In fact the cabbage I cooked came out better than in my stovetop pressure cooker. I now intend buying another of these for my mother who has arthritis in her hands and to whom the lightweight design will be a absolute boon.
