From Booklist
One of the earliest timesaving kitchen devices, the pressure cooker, is back in vogue. New stainless steel models and elaborate electric programmable models now appear in housewares stores. Express Cooking, by Barry Bluestein and Kevin Morrissey, newly issued in paperback, addresses this new generation of pressure cookers with a winning group of contemporary recipes. Beef shanks stew with figs for a hearty entree. Veal breast cooks quickly in a pressure cooker, and the higher heat extracts veal's natural gelatins for a rich sauce. Grains also cook speedily in a pressure cooker, and some chefs even use it to prepare risotto with much less stress on the cook. The authors list tables of cooking times for many foods, and they helpfully give advice on converting standardly cooked recipes to the pressure cooker. Mark Knoblauch

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Express Cooking: Make Healthy Meals Fast in Today's Quiet, Safe Pressure Cookers (Paperback)
I love pressure cooking and I have six cookers: an electric, 2 stovetops, a pressure fryer, a microwave cooker and a 21-quart pressure canner. You can't beat the cooking time and the results are both delicious and nutritious. Express Cooking addresses the cooking questions of people buying the new electric models (although only 4 and 6 quart models are considered)as well as those of us who still like our stovetop cookers. The authors discuss the different models and types, operating instructions and safety considerations. They do attempt to allay the fears of those who have heard those 'horror stories' about exploding pressure cookers. Modern models have several safety features that preclude those types of disasters. I would note however, that there is a popular recipe being circulated for cooking chicken a la KFC by bringing oil up to 400 degrees in the pressure cooker, placing chicken pieces in the oil and bringing the cooker up to pressure and cooking for several minutes. THIS SHOULD NEVER BE ATTEMPTED IN A PRESSURE COOKER!!! Specially designed pressure fryers can do this safely, but trying this in a home unit is very dangerous. That warning aside, Express Cooking will help you to produce some delightful meals. I never considered cooking turkey in a pressure cooker until I read the recipe for Roast Turkey with Gravy. Now you can have a 5-6lb. turkey breast cooked in less than an hour with a gravy that will please everyone. Being a lover of poultry, I also count the recipes for Chicken Cacciatore and Chicken Paprikash as 'keepers'. Other sections include making delicious stock(s), meat, seafood, veggies(with a complete time guide for specific vegetables), Grains, Beans, Sauces and of course, desserts. There is a recipe here for Eggnog Cheesecake and that alone is worth the price of the book. Also included is a listing of the major manufacturers and how to contact them. It can be very frustrating to purchase a pressure cooker and not be able to find a replacement gasket when the time arises. Pressure cooking has undergone a renewed interest because it is quick and easy. It is also nutritious and safe! This book is a well-written reference and the food is great too!!
