I have a friend who jokes about getting hooked on those infomercials and winds up $100 and 5-7 days later, with skin care products, promising AMAZING results. I try skipping over QVC and HSN channels myself. They get you excited about products (I guess that's their job) and before you know it, you're CONVINCED that you JUST MUST ORDER the darned thing!
Weeeeell, that happened to me the other day. Flipping through the channels, I landed on HSN previewing a, "ONE DAY ONLY" SALE, on Emeril's Pressure Cooker. I have his cookware set so figured I'd watch. He made the pressure cooker look so easy, safe and, since I've been experimenting with a slow cooker lately, FAST, suggesting you can buy a cheap, tough, cut of meat and have it fall of the bone with this gadget in no time! You can even cook your meat unthawed! MAGIC! Imagine coming home from work, throwing a frozen eye round in a pressure cooker and AND ONE HOUR LATER, DINNER! AWESOME-MOM!!! LIKE LAYAWAY!
So I bought it hoping I didn't spend $99 on a white elephant. It arrived yesterday and CALL ME CRAZY OBSESSED, but since, I've made RISOTTO IN SIX MINUTES, Sauerbrauten in an hour and as we speak, rice pudding!! Who has time for a slow cooker or any kind of regular cooking? And, when I get back to working full time, this will come in soooooo handy.
I really recommend this pressure cooker. It comes with (2) of Emeril's Pressure Cooker recipe books and a year's subscription to Bon Appetit (well, if ordered on that SPECIAL day). Hey, if I can make PERFECT RISOTTO in 6 minutes, that's inspiring in itself. That rice usually takes 40 minutes or more of careful, slow stir cooking.
Try it. You'll like it! (NOTE: I do not own any stock in Emeril's products! :)
