"The color photos are a plus. Overall, this is a large and varied collection of recipes." -- The Cookbook Review
About the Author
Written by the staff at National Presto Industries, Inc., a company that is recognized as one of the world's leading manufacturers of pressure cookers and canners. Founded in 1905 as a manufacturer of canning equipment, the company introduced the revolutionary "Presto" pressure cooker at the New York World's Fair in 1939 and the name "Presto" has been virtually synonymous with pressure cooking ever since.

Okay for recipes, but lacks basic user information,
By Snow White "The pressure's on...let's cook so... (sunny southwest) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Official Presto Pressure Cooker Cookbook (Hardcover)
I was hoping for more basic information on pressure cooking. Aside from a brief history, a couple paragraphs of simple "how-to's" and a few Q & A's, there is precious little information to help the novice with using this device. Unless you are totally familiar with how to use a pressure cooker, and simply want to add to your recipe book collection, do not get this book. For complete pressure cooker instruction, put your money toward "Pressure Cookers for Dummies"...a much more comprehensive tutorial written in easy to understand language, which makes no assumptions at all regarding the reader's level of knowledge. Pressure Cookers for Dummies helps to eliminate the "trial by error" learning curve. As an added bonus, "Pressure Cookers for Dummies" also has great recipes.UPDATE: Now that Miss Vickie's Big Book of Pressure Cooking has come out, I recommend that as well. If you can afford only one, Miss Vickie's would be the better choice.

I was happy to fine that the recepies in the book are easy to use and healthful.This is a great book for getting me back to cooking with a pressure cooker the way my mother did. The first try was stewed chicken and it was delicious.

Presto Pressure Cooker Cookbook,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Official Presto Pressure Cooker Cookbook (Hardcover)
This cookbook is really wonderful with it's colored pictures and recipes. Only drawback is that it is mostly for the 6 qt cooker and I wanted to get recipes for the 4 qt. I am a person who can't make changes and need to have precise instruction and that is why I odered this book. They should have printed both. Many times I would find a recipe I liked and it would say "only for the 6 qt".If you have a 6 qt cooker this book is a must have.
