Fast meals. Big flavour. One powerful pot.

A stovetop pressure cooker is one of the most useful and versatile tools in the kitchen. It can transform dried beans into tender, flavourful meals, turn tough cuts of meat into succulent braises, create rich homemade stock in a fraction of the usual time and make creamy risotto without constant stirring. It can even produce silky cheesecakes and perfectly cooked eggs.

In this newly updated edition of 225 Best Pressure Cooker Recipes, award-winning food writer Cinda Chavich offers more than 225 dependable, kitchen-tested recipes that make the most of this efficient and hardworking pot.

While electric pressure cookers introduced many home cooks to pressure cooking, interest in stovetop models is growing again. Stovetop pressure cookers offer precise heat control, durability and excellent cooking performance, while also functioning as a regular pot when needed. They are ideal for cooks who want to save time and energy without sacrificing depth of flavour.

The recipes in this collection bring together comforting classics and vibrant global dishes for weeknight dinners, entertaining and make-ahead cooking. Enjoy richly spiced Kerala Pepper Beef, smoky Chicken Tinga and satisfying Paneer, Chickpea and Cauliflower Curry, along with soups, stews, braises, stocks, grains, beans, risottos and desserts.

With plenty of vegetarian choices, clear instructions and practical guidance, this book helps cooks feel confident using a stovetop pressure cooker, whether they are trying one for the first time or looking for fresh inspiration.
