    Looks delicious. I have an Instant Pot but have never used it. Would like to get a stove top pressure cooker-just in case of a grid down situation. It would take less water, fuel and time to cook foods. Thanks for another great video!

    Try it folks, YOU will love it! My favorite is a classic roast on a weeknight in 45 mins. Pulled pork is awesome too. So many things to make in a pressure cooker.

    I also have an older presto 6 quart pressure cooker. My mom gave it to us many years ago as an anniversary gift. She used hers so often and gifted one to us. I have used it a lot over the last 38 years. Great video!

    Thanks for going "old school". I have an electric "instapot" type cooker, but love traditional pressure cookers & tend to forget the electric one! I have a variety of them too & recently found a pressure skillet (hadn't known they existed for quite a while). I think it's helpful for folks to know how to use the traditional stove top cookers too.

    This brought back great memories of my Grandma cooking with a pressure cooker. I inherited her Mirror pressure canner. I need to find a sealing ring for it….Love your channel!

    You can get the vintage pressure regulators on eBay for about 8$. I have the Mirro matic and love it! My Presto cookers and my canners are such work horses. I love to do a chicken in my pressure cooker for dumplings, dressing, and chicken rice. It literally falls off the bone. So tender. Wish I could find the pressure skillet. I love and use the vintage kitchenware.

    I have a 3 quart presto pressure cooker. My mom gave it to me in 1981. I have only once had to replace the lid seal and the pressure blowout seal. I love it. It makes the best beef stew EVER. I have a small insta-pot, it sucks.

    I love the idea of using Mrs wages as this evening also. My old Miro canner that I always had I would make a big pot of vegetable soup in often. The other things I like to make in them were pot roast with potatoes and carrots and in those I had room enough to add some cabbage for almost like a New England boiled dinner type thing. Another was corned beef and cabbage my canner was just about the right size to use as a pressure cooker for those meals and to have more than just one meal I could have some planned leftovers which helped out a lot in those days

    You inspired me to dust off my pressure cookers. Can The presto weights for the pressure canner be use with the pressure cooker? I lost mine for the pressure cooker.

    Just out of curiousity why cant you can say 4 pints in it. What is the difference between a food presure canner and a canning presure canner. Always wondered that.

    I will definitely have to try this, looks yummy/ hubby has 2 pressure cookers that he has had forever and they terrify me, always sacred one would explode. (Once you go on that call you can’t unsee it) He loves using them and refuses to try the instant pot.

    Oh Linda, I bet this is so good. I have a old pressure cooker I used when I was raining my kids, had to cook for an army, lol.
    Montgomery Ward was one of my favorite stores back in the day, no stores compared. Thanks for sharing and have a blessed evening!
