Has anyone received the Cooks Essentials TSV 6 Qt Pressure Cooker yet and what do you think of it?

I just now took mine out of the box. I'm going to start off easy and make rice in mine tonight. I did buy manicotti shells at the store yesterday and will fix Merideth's blog post recipe later in the week. (I forgot to buy the Rocotta)

I just opened mine too. Not sure what I'll make first, probably rice. There's a sausage and lentil dish in the included booklet that looks good so I may try that one as I have all the ingredients. I've never used a pressure cooker before, so this is a new and different experience.

Sallyann, as I read the booklet, add the rice, the appropriate amount of water, lock down the lid, hit the 'rice' button, then the 'start' button. I think then you just wait until the pressure subsides naturally before opening the lid.

I passed on this one, and got the TFAL pressure cooker from Emeril Legasse. Cook's Country rated it highly. I have a couple of pressure cooker recipes I'd like to try from the Suzanne Somers Fast and Fabulous book.

I always add a scant teaspoon of oil to rice/grains to prevent foaming. Instead of water, you can add broth. You can also season the rice with bouillon cubes or whatever seasonings you like. Use the 'natural' cool down method-just let it sit until the pressure releases.

Where can I purchase a rack suitable for use in this pressure cooker?
