Default pressure cooker

anybody know what a pressure cooker is?
got one for christmas a little 4 quart job
used one of my slow cooker receipe's chicken and cooked it for 15 mins along
with potatoes and carrots.....
the chicken was flowered with salt and pepper
cooked a beef stew in 30 mins....it was supposed to be swiss steak but didnt
have any flank steak so i used
a swiss steak receipe instead.....it was good......
that was faster than putting a can of canned stew on a stove top...
going to cook up a 3# corned beef..
going to add peppercorns, broken bay leaf, and half of a cooking onion and
cook it for 50 mins, then release the pressure and add potatoes, carrots,
and if i have one half of a small cabbage wedge and cook for additional 15
mins more or less........
want to find out if i can reduce the fat and salt content in the corned
beef....
dont know but it seems to be a great way to reduce fat and salt content in
all processed meat.
may try a turkey or an 8# chicken if i can find a pressure cooker big
enough or a picnic ham which i love....
any ideas
