    Your library probably had cook books for PCs.Call or e mail.Just mention PC spelled out in subject line.

    Google pressure cooker recipes. There all sorts of recipes available. Hope you find what you are wanting. I'm on my 2nd PC. This one is smaller and will hold only 3 pt. jars, not 4. I can beef in pt. jars. It is so good with noodles and so many other things. Miss my big pressure canner which was handy when I had a huge garden. Moved to sr. housing and had to sell along w/ many things that I miss now. Good luck. Marge

    Yrs ago we sold our house & built a small...very small house next door.Like you, we sold many things, some I should have kept.Used to can mostly green beans & tomatoes,applesauce & pears/peaches.DH's parents & Grparents both canned beef & yum yum....so good.They both had enough canned goods to put a meal on the table, along with home made bread.

    For those who may be confused with pressure cookers, in order to can home grown vegtables, or meats to be stored for future use you need a cooker with a pressure gauge not just the regulator. These cookers are called canners. Food being canned needs to be processed at a set time and at a set pressure or the food won't be safe to eat. If your cooking food to be eaten right away you don't need that a cooker with the regulator is all you need.

    We've been married 45 years, and I'm still using the same 4 qt. Presto we received as a wedding gift. I've replaced the sealing ring several times and the pressure regulator once. I cook stew, roast, pulled pork, beans and chicken most often. That is -- if I cook, which is not much anymore!
