I was watching tv other night and seen an infomercial for the Power Pressure cooker XL. I was quite intrigued but skeptical at the same time. In checking it out on different sites their viewpoints, I decided to go ahead and purchase one anyways. I bought mine from Bed n Bath Beyond, and not from the main site. Reason being is I read it takes several weeks after ordering it to arrive. I figured since we have a BnBb locally, I could exchange it if something was wrong. Reason I was so interested in this product is I can't stand longer than 10-20 min at a time , and I also was interested in the canning aspect of this cooker. I often have small amounts of fresh veggies from my garden , but not enough to can 7 qts at one time in my main pressure canner, which I may add takes about an hour to build up the pressure. I purchased this and in a few days received it. Well I have tried it and wow I must say im very impressed. So far I made spaghetti in 20 min, chili in 20 and both were very very good and not mushy. One thing is to make sure you follow the beginning stage of running the unit on canning cycle for 20 min as they suggest. They have lots of videos on pressure cooking on you tube, but I chose the Power Pressure cooker XL for the canning feature. I make a lot of chili's soups n stews and with lots left overs, which I can preserve some in 2 pints if desired. The canning wrack didn't come with my order so I had to get on the site and order that for $9.00 which is on its way. Pressure cooking is so much faster and it comes with the canning and cook book. You can use your own recipes also. You can do whole chickens-ham-pulled pork -roasts-steamed veggies, lasagna-etc., all in half the time or less. Im not sorry I purchased this. No im not affliated with the company whatsoever. I just thought for us busy quilters, its would be a godsend while being busy quilting, we can still serve our familys nutritious and yummy meals in half the time, leaving us more time to do what we like best.
