Serene, a pressure cooker is wonderful for cooking tougher cuts of meat.
The meat comes out nice and tender! A trick for doing roasts is to
brown them right in the pressure cooker then add your liquid and
pressure cook. The real time saver though is being able to do a whole
meal in one pot in less than 40 min. IMO there are two downsides to
pressure cooking. The first and something that will happen a few times
when learning to pressure cook is it takes very little time to overcook
resulting in mushy food. The second is the inability to tinker with
seasonings while the food is cooking. All seasonings need to be added
either before of after cooking.
