I am another pressure cooker devotee. I have two: one is a Wearever (8 qt)
that my mother bought for me in the 80s. It's the old "jiggle top" type.
The other is a digital electric one that I bought from qvc. In addition to
being able to PC at either low or high pressure, it also has a slow cooker
function which allowed me to pitch my old slow cooker - I like the
functionality of being able to do both in one vessel. It has a timer with a
delay function. It has a vent that allows quick release of pressure. It's
probably only about 5 quarts which is the down-side. When I PC, I tend to
do so in large quantities. I tend to use either one or the other or BOTH at
least once a week this time of year, rarely in the spring, and NEVER in
summer (Christine knows what our weather is like here!) I wouldn't be
without a pressure cooker.

HTH, Christine!
