INTRODUCTION
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 fit. It preserves flavors 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 flavors
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 6.
