Not to be a downer, but I bought the electric pressure cooker as seen on tv.......cooked two/three things in it..now it sits on a shelf in laundry room. I guess I'm just so used to grabbing a pot/ frying pan and work at the stove...and maybe because it's summer and meals are usually lite and cold...there is just dd and me. Perhaps I should look into some recipes and give it a whirl again.
