Default pressure cooker

guys
u'd make many of the guys on n.e. patriots newsgroup blush.......and that'd
take some doing......
I have used the pressure cooker off and on for well over 40 years, on gas
stoves, wood stoves, camping, u name it and have never had one blow.....i
once canned 400 quarts of jellies, pickles, u name it in a pressure
cooker......
this fall i dusted off my big old canning pressure cooker and cooked 125# of
butternut squash with it...since there are no timetables anywhere for that i
had to figure the times out...turned out to be 4 mins 45 sec at 10 lbs of
pressure maybe less.....the squash was the best that the k of c fall harvest
ever had....
i find the 4 qt pressure cooker excellent for camping, wheather on a coleman
fuel stove or on my campfire. u just have to watch it.....
right now while writing this i am cooking a corned beef in my 4 quart
pressure cooker.....since i dont have space in my pressure cooker i am
cooking the vegts (cabbage, potatoes, carrots, rutabagas) separately...
my interest in pressure cooking is one, i believe that KFC pressure cooks
all there chicken, and 2 i have high blood pressure and am trying to reduce
fat and salt in my and my wife's diet...she loves it when i cook...
o yes...i still have my old presto pressure cooker....use to cook steamers
in that when i was single living on the ocean...my old cat smokey and i
lived like kings....made great seafood soups afterwards from the juices...
do the same with corned beef and cabbage all cooked together...
crusty old feller
thank u for ur comments...appreciated that
