pressure cooker at HSN didn't know they made that big. Have to have a big family to fill that thing up.

That reminds me of the Nesco cookers Q used to sell.   12 quart is big but you are supposed to be able to use it like a 6 qt or 8 qt too

be heavy and take up a lot of cabinet space or pantry space.

I have a 23 qt, but I really only use it for pressure canning. You can cook in it though.

Wow! That is impressive! It would be good for a church group or firehouse that needed to make a ton of whatever!

This is so funny you are posting this as early this morning they had a tiny 2 quart PC on.  I didn't know they made them that small but they made some very interesting recipes if you are cooking for just a few folks.

I posted last night LOL but I want to see that 2 qt going over there now.

I got 2 4qt ovals, 2 six qt's and 1 8qt oval for long ribs. Plus, I kept my old time Ultrex on the stove one just because LOL

I dont' know how folks get by with fixing roasts, ribs, briskets without a pressure cooker. I read in "I've never had a pressure cooker" I try to keep mouth shut, but , I think how in the world do you eat that tough meat without one .  It just blows my mind. I've been using pressure cookers since I was 15 and helping to keep house. (back then you cooked and cleaned and sewed) Have to have dog canine teeth to eat tough beef can't even cut it with a serrated knife.

@SharkE if you don't mind I'd like to ask you some advice as I am planning on making a very small pork roast (maybe 2-2.5 pounds) in my pressure cooker this weekend.

My plan is to brown it and then set it on a rack and pour water into the bottom (or maybe some kind of broth).  Have you ever made a pork roast in one of your PC's and if so how did you prepare it?

There are numerous ways to make tender meat without a pressure cooker.

I'm not putting down pressure cookers, of course.  Just stating a fact.

I do have a couple of them somewhere, but I haven't used them for probably ten years.   I wouldn't eat tough meat either!
