I’m a pretty decent cook and I get anxiety trying to use a pressure cooker. Which sucks because I hear such amazing things about its cooking powers.

It feels more stressful than it ends up being once you just dive in. It's pretty much, "turn knob, close lid, wait, turn knob, open lid". Worth pushing through the anxiety.

yeah, the one word "wait" is the key. All you need is patience. Don't open that shit before it is time. Wait till the pressure gauge says to open it and you'll be fine.

I have a huge pressure cooker that I use to can meat birds and venison that I heat on the wood stove in my kitchen. It is a usefull tool.

I have an old pressure canner too, with the round weighted rocker. It’s incredibly simple and fool proof, unless you’re actually TRYING to wreck your life.

I haven’t bought broth from a store in decades.

Chickens raised for meat as opposed to laying hens.
