Pressure Cooker Perfection from America's Test Kitchen





We've had a pressure cooker for a bit over a year now. In that time, we've been experimenting with it here and there, making short ribs and stocks, and playing around with our own pressure cooker concoctions.

But now we've been inspired to kick our pressure cooker use into high gear over the last few weeks after reading the new book from America's Test Kichen: Pressure Cooker Perfection.

We've previously read and recommended Lorna Sass's Pressure Perfect for those wanting to get more use out of their pressure cookers. Sass, the grande dame of pressure cooker chefs, published her first pressure cooker book in 1989 and quickly established herself as the go-to expert on using pressure cookers in the home.

We still recommend Sass's book, but we love this new book from America's Test Kitchen. (Full disclosure: We recevied a free press copy from ATK). It's smartly organized and filled with recipes we want to try. The first we dove into was Braised Chicken Thighs with Potatoes. It resulted in a delicious chicken in a flavorful gravy-like sauce -- truly delicious.

For our second foray, we wanted something more exotic to share with you. We opted for a dish that was new to us: Pork Vindaloo.
