Electric pressure cookers ar great for soups, stews, ribs, etc,but you have to have some water to create steam pressure. I bought one and have used it a few times and the meat dishes were good but don't try mac and cheese, no matter what the book says! I actually find more use for my crock pot than the pressure pot. It is quick which is it's greatest advantage. The instructions that came with mine were useless. You can get free cookbooks for them from Amazon if you have a Kindle, or order from the regular bookstore. They have lots of cook books.

A regular pressure cooker is totally different than the pressure caner. The caner has a heat regulator on it & the cooker dose not. You can fix meals in the caner, but you can not can in the cooker safely.

I finally got an Instant Pot and made a whole chicken. I found a recipe online. We loved it. It isn't a crispy skin
version but the chicken was tender,juicy and flavorful. I only added a cup of liquid but it made about 6 cups of delicious broth. Brought up to pressure, cooked 25 minutes and used natural pressure release

Question for all of you pressure cooker users-how do you get the fat off when you cook somethingg such as a roast - and want to eat it right then? I normally make things ahead and put them in the frig for the fat to harden. I've never had much good luck with skimming when warm. Would appreciate some helpful hints!
