True, but they make quicker stews. I've given up on oxtail since I
discovered ox cheek, but I use the same recipe and there are times when
I want to eat it the day I cook it, for all that braises are improved by
a night in the fridge. Pressure cookers are like every other kitchen
gadget, they're good for what they're good for. With a pressure cooker
you can be doing the stew on the stove top instead of tying the oven up
for three hours at a low temperature; this means you've got the oven
free to cook the pudding.
