OK back to the story:
Its literally “set it and forget it”. Put in ingredients, turn it on, and go do something else in the yard or house. Don’t leave the property, OK?
I make beans and chickpeas ever week, we cook pork shoulders and short ribs in it, and I want to try a carrot soup recipe I saw in the Modernist Cooks At Home cookbook next.
The advantage of electric over stovetop pressure cookers:

- It stops cooking at a pre-set time and goes into keep warm mode
- Its incredibly quiet
- It makes cooking super easy
