I stood there, with the instruction book in my hand while it came to pressure, since its a bit different to the one I've been using for the last 20 years! Fortunately, it worked as it should and I'll be more confident next time I use it.

We own 2 pressure cookers ones a Prestige bought in January 1982 (its written in the recipe book) then a Hawkins 2lt we take camping both work differently and have been well used over the years.
Wouldn't be without either of them.

I’ve bought a lettuce today
the first one in almost 20 years. Mine failed, they weren’t happy with the low temperatures, they might pick up so I’m giving them a bit of a rest.

If you rate them highly, so be it, I'm just stating my perception of pressure cookers!

Did you separate them in the pressure cooker? I cooked potatoes, carrots and parsnips last night and they tasted as they should. I wouldn't cook cabbage in the pressure cooker as its so easy to overcook it. Not a fan of squidgy cabbage.
