They're going to become tender and creamy just like the slow cooker version but in much shorter time.</i>Nishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16694232194366527163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110857106455549105.post-86316549815116831202015-06-25T00:10:18.313-07:002015-06-25T00:10:18.313-07:00ur post has just the information ive been looking ...ur post has just the information ive been looking for, for years! my limited knowledge of using the pressure cooker has deprived me from trying my hand at cooking to such an extent i cant tell you!!<br />obviously i wasnt looking in the right places!!

It's been 2 years and only now I have mustered up the courage to use it. The whistling scares me. But now I feel more confident and will give it a good go :-D My lovely huaband loves peas and lentils, so I'm sure this will make him very happy. And pressure cooked food is so nutritious and tasty. A big bonus for me. Thanks again Nisha.
