Any leftovers?
David:
Great kitchen and great looking corned beef and cabbage! Glad to see the recipe turned out well. Hope there are some leftovers, because it's even better the next day! Congrats!
Next week I'm making Company Chicken. The recipe is a pressure cooker one from a 1955 Good Housekeeping cookbook. I'll let you know if it's a keeper and worth sharing!

May I have a copy of this recipe too?
I love corned beef 'n cabbage!
YUM!
When I moved to a new place, a friend of mine helped me unpack the kitchen, swearing over half the boxes moved were for the kitchen. Really, I don't have that much, but I felt so sorry for this cullinarily (sp?) deprived individual who asked "What kind of pot is this? when he lifted my pressure cooker out of the a box.
Tsk tsk tsk...sad, isn't it?

Are ya hungry?
Ok guys, I pulled up the post and thread with the corned beef and cabbage recipe. FYI: It's THREAD 930/POST 53427.
I am listening to the gentle hisssssssssing of the pressure cooker as it makes "Company Chicken Supreme". This is an old recipe (when pressure cookers could explode like food-laden bombs) from a 1955 Good Housekeeping Cookbook. It sounded delicious and smells great. I will let you know if it is a keeper. I'm serving it with bow-tie noodles and corn. Come and get it!!)

Is that a Presto?
Glad to see there are other pressure cooker enthusiasts out there. I use an old Mirro-Matic with the 3-weight regulator wheel.

I wish I had a digital camera--
I would post a pic of my Presto.
Saturday I made a very good rice pudding in it--at least cooked the rice in it, and at this very minute, I have a beef pot roast cooking in it.
If there is interest, I will post the rice pudding recipe.
My chief regret is that it is a 4 quart, and not a 6.
Looking around at 6 quart cookers, and I am drawn to various European makes, but not to the $100 plus price tags.

Company Chicken Supreme
This is definitely a keeper!! :-D
COMPANY CHICKEN SUPREME
1/3 cup flour
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. paprika
1 2lb. ready-to-cook broiler-fryer, cut up
1/4 cup shortening
-------------------
1/2 lb. sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup sliced onions
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. paprika
1/4 cup hot water
1/2 cup commercial sour cream
Parsley sprigs
Mix flour with 1 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper, and 1 tsp. paprika (I used Cavender's seasoning in place of the salt and pepper but used the paprika); use to coat chicken pieces well. In hot shortening (I used olive oil)in pressure cooker, brown chicken well on all sides. Add mushrooms and rest of ingredients (I used Marsala wine instead of water) except sour cream and parsley.
Cook at 15lb. pressure 10 to 15 min. (I cooked it 15 min.) as manufacturer directs. Reduce pressure immediately. Stir in sour cream (I removed the chicken to a warm platter first. Also make sure you don't boil the sour cream mixture or it will separate and curdle; it just needs to be heated through).
Arrange chicken on heated platter; spoon on sauce (put some in a gravy boat while you're at it); garnish with parsley. Makes 4 servings (yeah, right).
The chicken was so falling-off-the-bone-tender that I even ate the leg! I started making my way to a thigh, but my waistband prevented me from gorging any further. ;-)
This would be great with a big old blob of mashed potatoes and some baby carrots drizzled with a little butter and honey.
You don't need company to make this dish. Snarf down as much as you can, then save the rest for some deeeeeeeeeeeelicious leftovers!
Enjoy -

Yes it is a Presto!
I bought the basic model in aluminum to see whether I liked it or not. I do and can find lots of different things to cook in one-I don't have a way of setting the pressure on this one since the regualator has just one hole in it and no positions. I figure 10 lbs is gentle reg rocking and 15 would be somewhat faster. And once again, thank you Venus for sharing your recipe-we ate the last of it tonight. I would like a 6 qt now, but having 2 cookers wouldn't be so bad; we have 3 crockpots. Now how about that chicken dish you made? I believe we have some real pc fans out here!

Venus, that sounds outstanding! Did Austin like it?
I may have to go to some estate sales and find a pressure cooker and try it. We had them at home but I don't think I've ever owned one myself.

old pressure cookers
Read that book from the Pressure Cooker Lady first before buying old pressure cookers. She had some pretty good advice. She recommended agaist electric pressure cookers because you can't use the quick cool-down method of running cold water over it, but she neglected to say that that isn't a problem with electric pressure cookers that have the removeable controls and thus are fully immersible with the controls removed. I like the idea of not being tied to the range and freeing up a burner/unit if you're making a large meal. Another reason I have electric frying pan and griddle.

Pressure Cookers, etc.
Scott:
Austin like what I made for dinner? Are you kidding? For some reason, he's part of the taco and burger generation. You should hear him groan when I bring out a huge platter of pot roast. He'll go make himself some Ramen noodles instead (blech; too much salt). That's ok. Hubby and daughter appreciate it. You really need to get a pressure cooker. One-pot meals don't come any easier. I recommend the largest pressure cooker you can find, for all those tasty leftovers.
Jaune:
You are right about having separate appliances and not tying up the stove. I love them all. My next purchase will be a fryer. I very rarely fry our food, but it would be nice to do some french fries or begniets (french donuts) without burning down the kitchen or setting off the smoke detectors (which I have been known to do).
Lawrence:
The rice pudding sounds fantastic. Recipe please :-D

One pot meals
Austiin doesn't like POT ROAST?! I LOVE pot roast. I'm definately a "carnivore". You'r right, though I do like Ramennoodles, they have WAY too much salt, my doctor would freak ( I have a heart condition). One of my cook books is called "One Pot Meals" and I've done a few things out of it that came out tasty. The Slow Cooker has gotten a workout, too. Surprisingly, I still haven't broken out my brand new Princess Digital pressure cooker yet.
I'll post a few recipes out of the One Pot Book on here.

Clearly, your son is out of his mind. Get him some help, and FAST!
Ramen noodles instead of pot roast? The lad is insane! I'm sputtering, I'm so speechless!
I think you need to make a rule that nothing gets cooked on the CI that wasn't available when the stove was new.

Well, I'm thinking Austin is probably just expressing himself right now food-wise, in a few years he will probably feel entirely differently about company chicken and things like that.
