Food preservation has become increasingly popular so families can enjoy nature’s bounty even during the depths of winter. Food can be processed in a pressure cooker so that it maintains appearance, texture and nutrients while slowing spoilage. The Complete Idiot’s Guide® to Pressure Cooking takes the guess work out of this age old, but effective way of making and preserving good food. Seasoned food author Carole Johnson and gourmet chef Patrice Johnson offer more than 200 simple and delicious step-by-step recipes to use with any pressure cooker. Their book:
• Explains how pressure cookers work and how to use them efficiently and safely
• Includes wonderful recipes for each meal of the day
• Shares recipes for dishes from roasts and stews, to soups and grains, to scrumptious desserts
Using a pressure cooker to preserve food is an efficient way to get the most out of summer’s harvest through winter’s cold.
