Customer Reviews

Didn't cover the this it should
I was disappointed, it wasn't particularly clear and didn't really cover the areas it needed to. One of the big problems of pressure cooking is trying to find what the reduced cooking time is. I ended up looking it up on the internet.

GREAT BOOK!
Being new to the art of cookery (and pressure cooking) thought this might help me. It did and I now use my Pressure Cooker frequently. It's quick, easy and SAVES ME MONEY! Many thanks to Tom Lacalamita, the author.
