I bought one for my self in the days I canned. And used it for cooking too. Beef stew went to the next level when cooked in the pressure cooker. But I always stood guard when it was on the stove. Thankfully no explosions. It went the way of the Salvation Army Thrift store when I downsized and moved a little over a year ago now. Glad they have one that is improved with the with the shut down feature. I'm thinking though that that gift was more for you than it was for Jilda. You got your much loved butter beans.I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-65984364560403205432018-03-27T07:42:35.022-05:002018-03-27T07:42:35.022-05:00That a great story Rick.

I used to have a Presto Cooker with that rocking valve you talked about but the seal wore out from use and I used it as a deep fryer for while.<br />Hugs, JuliaJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-41685670606712486972018-03-27T06:51:22.931-05:002018-03-27T06:51:22.931-05:00I remember mom cooking with a pressure cooker.

They have “Smart Cookers” now which Im assuming thats what you got Jilda. I have been curious how those work. Butter Beans? Well, I do not like those. Mom forced me to eat them once and it was not pretty so I stay away from them now because I can.
