Alas, I cannot answer the question and have another one myself about
pressure cookers. What's the advantage/disadvantage of an electric
pressure cooker vs. a stove-top model (of comparable size)? It's been
many years since I've cooked with an ancient stove-top pressure cooker
(Presto?, at my grandmother's house), and I remember little of it at
that (menu was unordinary pot roast).
