Fagor Pressure Cookers, More than 50 Recipes<\/em> is the instruction\/recipe booklet that came with the stove-top pressure cooker that I bought sometime in the 2000s. This cooker has one pressure lid that covers two sizes of nice, heavy pots. I bought it as a replacement for my old broken pressure cooker. Somehow I quickly broke this pressure cooker too! I ruined the gasket and\/or pressure regulator, and the replacements I ordered did not fit. (Unusable as a pressure cooker, the pots as still usable as cooking pots.) A couple years ago, I bought an electric pressure cooker that works great. So, I can still use the recipes in this booklet, I’ll just have to adapt them to my new electric pressure cooker.<\/p>\n

Shall I keep this cookbook? It has “More than 50 recipes”. Let me see if it has enough good<\/em> recipes to warrant saving.<\/p>\n

The first recipe is for tomato sauce for pasta, with carrots, celery, garlic, 3 cups canned tomatoes, herbs, and wine. Hey, this is pretty much how I make stove-top sauce! But in a pressure cooker it only takes 10 minutes, not an an hour or two stove-top simmer. Maybe I’ll try that next time. I like the “German Potato Salad” \u2014 just 2 minutes cooking time! “Country Style Potatoes”, with mushrooms and onions, takes only 3 minutes. This recipe for potatoes would go well with the grilled meat I have planned for dinner. “Everyone’s Favorite Meatball Stew” sounds good to me \u2013 given my love of meatballs in general. I have a Cornish game hen in the freezer, so I might try the “Oriental-Style Cornish Hen” or “Cornish Hens Braised in White Wine”. “Mom’s Rice Pudding” would be a homey dessert.<\/p>\n

But that’s it. I decide to make the Country Style Potatoes for dinner, scan copies of the other recipes I like, and recycle this booklet. It has served it’s purpose!<\/p>\n

\"CountryThe “suggested time” in the above recipe is indicated by a little chart below each recipe. I perused the instruction pages of the booklet and figured out that I should set my current pressure cooker to “high”.<\/p>\n
