    The Cookbook Review
    "The color photos are a plus. Overall, this is a large and varied collection of recipes."

    About the Author
    Written by the staff at National Presto Industries, Inc., a company that is recognized as one of the world's leading manufacturers of pressure cookers and canners. Founded in 1905 as a manufacturer of canning equipment, the company introduced the revolutionary "Presto" pressure cooker at the New York World's Fair in 1939 and the name "Presto" has been virtually synonymous with pressure cooking ever since.

    Okay for recipes, but lacks basic user information3
    I was hoping for more basic information on pressure cooking. Aside from a brief history, a couple paragraphs of simple "how-to's" and a few Q & A's, there is precious little information to help the novice with using this device. Unless you are totally familiar with how to use a pressure cooker, and simply want to add to your recipe book collection, do not get this book. For complete pressure cooker instruction, put your money toward "Pressure Cookers for Dummies"...a much more comprehensive tutorial written in easy to understand language, which makes no assumptions at all regarding the reader's level of knowledge. Pressure Cookers for Dummies helps to eliminate the "trial by error" learning curve. As an added bonus, "Pressure Cookers for Dummies" also has great recipes.

    UPDATE: Now that Miss Vickie's Big Book of Pressure Cooking has come out, I recommend that as well. If you can afford only one, Miss Vickie's would be the better choice.

    Recipes are NOT family friendly.
    Eg, who wants to eat "rabbit with stewed prunes??"
    I was very disappoionted in the book, and I do not recommend it, especially if you are cooking for children/teens.
