5 Reasons I Love My Stove Top Pressure Cooker

I didn't really do a good job keeping my list numbered and concise in the video so here are my 5 reasons I love my stove top pressure cooker

1 There is no electronic components or buttons to fail, keep it simple

2 It can be removed from the heat for faster depressurizing and cooling.  I have also noticed that the Instant Pot seems to take forever to come up to pressure.  The heating element is just not as hot as my stove. Also, I have no science to prove this and maybe I am crazy but I have watched plenty or electric pressure cooker videos and recipes and I am always shocked at how long the recipe says to cook under pressure.  I generally cook thing 8-12 minutes, maybe 20-25 for a large roast or something.  Hip Pressure Cooking.com mentions that stovetop pressure cookers cook food 3 times faster  than in a regular pot while electric pressure cookers cook food 2 times faster than a regular pot.  I don't really understand how that works if both pots are reaching the same pressure (8-15 psi) but it makes sense that the recipes that I am seeing are calling for much longer cook times. https://www.hippressurecooking.com/th...

3 There is much less of a learning curve because you already know your stove.

4 Very easy to clean, fully submersible, stainless steel easy to maintain.  I think the lid is easier to clean, easier to get the seal in and out than the Instant Pot

5 Regular pot handles make it easier to move, pour, and keep steady while stirring.  I have noticed the liner of the Instant Pot spins around when stirring which makes it harder to deglaze.  But its ok because I have yet to actually get the instant pot to properly brown.  It just doesnt get hot enough.

Nice Stove Top Pressure Cookers ( look for 2 pressure settings, stainless steel pot, 6-8 qt)
My model is called Fagor Express (not Rapid Express) the closest model still made is called Fagor Duo  https://amzn.to/2v7wGOE
Innova, Cayenne https://amzn.to/2n5wjzm  and Helix https://amzn.to/2McrvDB all have 2 pressure settings and would be a good choice

Other brands I would trust Presto, Tfal https://amzn.to/2valMrc
if you want the most budget friendly I would look into getting a older jiggler type presto, for as little as $25-35.  I would probably not get a used one from a thrift store if you are a newbie, but an older presto would just need a careful inspection, a fresh gasket and would be a workhorse.

This is so much of me talking about my love for pressure cookers.  Did you make it to the end?  Are you a pressure cooker lover too or do you think I need a new hobby.  Whats your favorite thing to make in a pressure cooker?  I love soup, chili, beans, hard veggies like winter squash or potatoes, hard boiled eggs, roasts, grains, pork butt, short ribs, tamales everything everything, everythiiiiiiiing!
