Are you interested in an electric pressure cooker? If so this link may interest you.

I have a Presto, just read and follow the directions to use it safely.

Like everything, you need to follow directions and use care. Don't be afraid of a pressure pan if you lister to the sound the jiggling gauge makes and adjust the flame till it is gently rocking and not going crazy. When the time called for in your recipe is passed you can lower the pressure more quickly by placins a wet cool cloth on top of the lid and lettind the pressure escape. Don't try to cook very starchy foode as the resultins gluey juice will clog the vent. Use the rack included with the unit when you are cooking meat.
I live above 6000 ft and love the ease of cooking this way.

I have a digital pressure cooker from QVC and love it! It is so versatile. I make soups in a jiffy, meatloaf..all kinds of things. You can even bake a cake in it. Check out the reviews for them on QVC.com.
Peace and Blessings,

I live in Albuquerque! I cook beans in my pressure cooker all the time. Works great. I still do soak them first, though.

I grew up with those older style pressure cookers and I would never go near one of those! I bought mine off of QVC, haven't had any problems with it. It has a post that can't move until all the steam is out of it, so no accidents! My only regret that it is not larger! I use it as a steamer, also. So quick and the food retains the beautiful color!

The Best is Presto Stainless steel Be sure and Read Book that Comes With it.

I have a Presto, I love it!

I to have more presto's than mirro's but like the goldenoldies I have in my prestos.Have two four quarts that have the wooden handles an wouldn't change for new ones if I had to.I've been using them every since i started cooking as a kid at home.over thirty some yrs.

I have Cooks Essentials pressure cooker from QVC. Actually, it is a set of three pots, 3 L. to 6 L., that can all use the same pressure cooker lid. I really love this set because it is made of heavy steel -- a little slow to heat through, but stays hot forever! As pressure cookers they are very safe and easy to use.

I'm sorry, but I am afraid of them. MY dad opened one too soon, and we washed beef stew off of things for days! I'm sure someone here is braver than I am.
