Welcome to the world of pressure cooking. With your new Presto
Pressure Cooker, you’ll discover how fast and easy it is
to prepare a wide variety of delicious foods—especially foods that emphasize good health and nutrition along with good
taste.
The pressure cooker is perfect for the way we live and eat today. It’s ideal for preparing many of the lighter foods that help
keep us healthy and t. It preserves avors and nutrients, tenderizes meat and, best of all, it cooks foods three to ten times
faster than ordinary cooking methods. And, it’s even possible to cook several foods in the pressure cooker at the same time
without the avors intermingling.
We have included recipes for some traditional family favorites that are especially well suited to the many advantages of
pressure cooking. For your convenience, we have also provided nutritional information for all of the recipes in this book.
To help get started with your new pressure cooker, be sure to read the “Getting Acquainted” section beginning on page 3.
