I have never owned a pressure cooker before but I am considering one for the reason of my having newly converted to a plant-based diet. I am thinking beans, rice, and other things would be great to cook in this. Any of you have one? If so any tips and advice would be appreciated!
TIA

I have both a stove top one(have a gas stove) as well as an electric one. For me I prefer the stove top pressure cooker but maybe because it is what I was use to using. My mom and gram always had one and I used theirs till the seals went and they were so old I couldn't find seals to fit so got new ones. I use the stove top a lot in winter but I can't advise you on what to fix since DH is a meat and potatoes kind of guy.
you don't need anything fancy and in time you will be able to convert your other recipes to a pressure cooker and pressure cooker time.
This was my grams recipes if it helps to show you how long something takes:

I put dried beans in the pot, cover with water, bring to a boil for 10 minutes (you can probably do this step in the PC) let it sit for an hour-and then I use my favorite PC recipe. You will love it for beans and grains. Imagine cooking steal cut oats in six minutes! Remember, you have to let it come up to pressure, and that takes a little time, but not long. Are you cooking for yourself or a family? If you are cooking for yourself, you might consider a stove top model. Poodlepet
Just myself and DH.
Is a stove top model easier to use?
