Pressure cooker / egg

McStew

I received a pressure cooker as a gift and was wondering if anyone has any good recipes they are willing to share or any good books to purchase?  I have the beef bookmarked from St. Patty's Day from awhile back that I will be trying very shortly because it looked so good but if anyone has anything else that would be great 
Thanks again

Didn't it come with some recipe book? I haven't ever used mine on my egg and would be scared to to be honest! There are also numerous pc recipes on the net.

@RRP - you might like it as well.
Extracting beef/chicken/turkey for broth is excellent. MCAH (Modernist Cuisine At Home) has a number of recipes using a pressure cooker. Like all cooking tools, it has its place - I would not even think about using it on an egg.

yah I would have to agree if you put the pressure cooker on the egg you would be just plain stupid / or just a thrill seeker

I cant find the cook I saw here but the gentleman smoked it on the egg for two hours then finished it in the pressure cooker.  It was around St. Patty's day

America's Test Kitchen has a pressure cooker book.  Their stuff is usually pretty reliable.

I remember both my mother and grandmother cooking on pressure cookers several times a week.  Being in the grandchild pool, I hated when it was my day to clean that thing!!!!  Always sounded cool steaming away!

@RRP no recipe book was included with the one I got.  This one is built like a
Tank.  I think it is a professional version so they assume you know how to use it.

I have cooked a few things in my pressure cooker, but i actually use it mostly for home canning which I do several times a year.  i like to pressure can my homemade broths/stock.  I also home can my homemade marinara sauce.  I tried canning a meat sauce once but didn't like the resulting texture of the meat, so I can a vegetable marinara and then when I go to make spaghetti, I brown up the beef or pork fresh, and then add the marinara sauce from the can and some olive oil.  2nd most frequent use is I like to finish my Pastrami in the pressure cooker.  You can also use it to greatly speed up the process of cooking raw dry beans.  Once, for sake of time, I cooked up some short ribs in the pressure cooker and then sauced them and used the Egg to glaze the sauce and put some bark on the outside.  Instead of hours of low'n'slow to render the fat and make fall off the bone moist & tender, 45 minutes in the pressure cooker and 30 minutes on the BGE and they were scrumpdilicious.

Thanks I will check this book out

I think this is what you are looking for for the pastrami:

Similar to what @Zmokin mentioned- you are smoking it on the egg and then finishing it off in the PC.

It looks very similar to my pressure cooker.  I would guess the make is - All American.  That's a fantastic pressure cooker.  Made in Wisconsin.  It's also nice that it's gasketless. No future worries on replacing any dried out cracked gasket.  Mine didn't come with any instructions.  I learned online.  I also watched All American pressure cooker videos on YouTube.

Looks like a pressure vessel for canning to me. Mine isn't quite so fancy and have never used it for anything other than canning my garden produce.

I made a pressure cooker still back in college with my little brother.  My mom wasn't too happy about the hole I drilled in her pressure cooker.  Looked very similar.

We made about 5 liters of moonshine from a mash of sugar and any carbohydrate source we could find around the house.

We triple distilled it, and made a drink.  My brother took the first sip and instantly (I mean within 30 seconds) puked.

I talked to one of my cooler chemistry professors (this was before the internet) and he said we need to clean up the fusel oils.  Charcoal and aging work well.

So we put some wood in the oven and smoked up the house, my mom not happy once again.  Made charcoal and dumped it into the bottles, let it age a few months.  It developed an amber color and smelled terrific.

We drank some of it, but we didn't feel good about it after the puking incident, so it mostly ended up being used as a cleaning solvent.

@WeberWho? yes it is an All American I will check out the you tube feeds thanks

That type of pressure cooker is more like a pressure canner.  Sure you can cook food in it but where it would be most used (because of the bulk of it) is canning.  You can do regular canning and canning low acid foods like meat.

I got an electric pressure cooker for my birthday that I am loving.  It is an Instant Pot http://www.amazon.ca/Instant-Pot-IP-DUO60-Programmable-Generation/dp/B00FLYWNYQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1429798486&sr=8-1&keywords=instant+pot+ip-duo60+7-in-1  and so far has made great soup stocks, soups, Chinese bbq pork, steamed lobster tail, and so on...

I'm enjoying recipes/time charts from these websites:
www.hippressurecooking.com
www.fastcooking.ca

I am anxious to try various curries and Indian food in it since I have found lots of recipes for making dahl and various curries with it.

GATraveller

www.chefsteps.com has some great pressure cooker ideas (along with a lot of other cool stuff).

Have made this many times, Carnitas in less than an hour.

My gasket is > 30 years old and is still in good condition, not perfect, but it doesn't appear to be near failure.  I know it won't last forever, but I think it might last until I die.  I'm not worried.
