My husband usually wants to eat at about 8pm. The trouble it that I usually want both kids in bed by then too. That means I have put my daughter to be. Try to keep my son quite long enough for her to fall asleep all the way(which with him being autistic is VERY hard). Then I help my son with his homework, bathe him and read him a story.
I have to do all this in the time I should also be cooking dinner to get it done by 8pm. So needless to say, it was not always done on time, and I would find myself starting dinner at 8. Then it would take 30-60 minuted to cook the meal, and dinner ended up being very late.
So I wanted something to make cooking easier and faster, and boy did I find it. The Nesco (6 liter) 4 in 1 Digital Pressure Cooker is everything I need and more.
I have never even owned a pressure cooker, but I still know this one is special. When I think of a pressure cookies I think of a metal pot with a locking lid, but this is nothing like that.
This cooker looks really impressive. Sleek and modern. It's wonderful. My son called it a robot, and I can see why it would resemble on to him.
As I already mentioned, I am a complete pressure cookie novice. So I attempted my first ever pressure cooked meal, and I am actually pretty happy with how it came out.
I decided to try a whole chicken. I loved the idea of being able too cook a whole chicken in under 30 minutes.
It was so simple. Just put the raw chicken in the pot, season it, add 2 cups of liquid and cook on high for 25 minutes.
I should have used the brown setting first to make the outside more golden, and I feel silly for not doing it, but it still came out really good. The chicken was so moist. I was really unbelievable. Here is the finished chicken.
It tasted so good. My husband loved it and we both agreed that is was just as good as chicken from a restaurant. I cannot remember the last time he raved about a meal so much. He ate the leftovers on a sandwich earlier and kept saying how delicious it was.
My husband is by no means ungrateful, but he is not usually that emphatic about anything, but especially just a meal(and even more something as simple as chicken).
I love this Pressure Cooker so much. I cannot wait to try other things in this, especially actual recipes. I love to try new recipes(which are even included with this pressure cooker). Cooking without all the work. No stirring, flipping or guessing. The food will be so moist and cleanup a breeze.
The removable pot is non stick for super easy cleanup. And even better, this is so quite. I imagined that it would be kind of loud, but no, so I can cook while my daughter is sleeping with no fear of waking her. It's even quieter than a sizzling frying pan or my microwave(which is actually pretty loud for some reason).
I am so excited to keep trying more things in my new, fabulous Nesco Digital Pressure Cooker. I am am so thankful for all the time I will save. And this will even make healthier food since I won't need fats and oils for cooking any more. There is nothing more I could want. This is the perfect all in one cooking machine.
I think that everyone should have one. And to prove it, we are giving one away to one lucky winner. Enter below. Good luck.

ReplyDeleteI don't have one yet, BUT I sure would love to win one of them!!!! I fell in love with pressure cookers way back in 1967-----as of now, I own 3 that you use on stove & one electric one. Sometimes I have 2 or 3 in use at the same time. I USED to have a pressure canner, but I foolishly loaned it to a "friend" & never got it back!
