Pressure Cooking, Tom Hirschfeld

Pressure cookers have been around for generations, but are now making a big comeback. Not to be confused with a pressure canner, the modern pressure cooker can be an automated all-in-one device or a stovetop cooker. Regardless of the technological advances, people can still be intimidated by the pressurized contents and the possibility of having hot food explode out of the cooker.
