Another tool every good chef must learn to use is the pressure cooker. Dramatically shortens cooking time for beans and lentils, and turns tough, cheap cuts of meat like chuck roast into tender, mouth-watering pot roast. Doubles as a canner, for “putting up” the fruits of your garden in glass jars. Talk about home economics!
Canning is easier and safer than you think. Modern pressure cooker/canner seals are designed to fail and release pressure making exploding pressure cookers are relic of the past. Sorry to take the drama out of it, but your friends will still be impressed. Nothing quite as satisfying as giving away food you canned yourself.
