    Hi again Laura. I have this idea but watching this again, I'm not sure it will work. Say I set a big batch of broccoli to cook just like you did then go out to do some gardening and let it do it's thing and naturally release the steam. On the assumption I could stop any 'keep warm' system from starting; could I just cut the steaming time to get the broccoli how I wanted it (I presume it's still cooking during a natural release and 'keep warm' period)?

    Hmm. Need quite a few watches to get my head round but 2nd one suggested time to add more fragile veg to a stew for example. Stews and casseroles on 4. Pork joint on 1 and non keto stuff like grains and rice on 4 because in theory, recipes are assigned to take into account the bubbling and extra cooking time? I'll move on and and probably come back! Sorry for not understanding when I have a non common diet.

    Oh boy! I was so wrong at the end. I even wrote down what I thought was right for each pressure release settting and I thought 1 was rice to stop the cooking process – WRONG! I need to watch this more than once. I have cooked my veg in those collapsible steamers in saucepans for over 10 years so am not convinced a PC will improve that – anyone disagree? Takes 10 mins for broc (and lets add 2 mins for boil time before I turn it down!)

    I am new to PCing. Being an old school kind of guy I ordered a stove top 8 Qt stainless steel cooker. Don't mind the required attention required by this device. Beans are of special interest to me. Being a type 1 diabetic for 50 yrs the slower release of carbohydrates is beneficial for blood sugar control. I hope to be eating more legumes. Also of focus is cooking a pork shoulder in mojo marinade for wonderful Cubano sandwiches. Looking forward to some great and nutritious food.
    Thank you for covering the nuts and bolts of this utentzel as well as the flavor profiles it offers.
