No, I'm still not a fan of the electric pressure cookers. High on my list of criticism is the lack of precision control. I want that choice so I can cook all the varied types of recipes I like. Now, I admit, I probably use pressure cookers more than most people, and I take full advantage of all the features on today's modern stovetop to maximize their potential.

I'm always trying new recipes and I incorporate the advanced techniques to cook more foods in the pressure cooker than anyone can imagine, so I expect a lot from my pressure cookers. Unfortunately, none of those electric gadgets are up to my expectations.

That's not to say that they don't serve a useful purpose in coaxing novices to try pressure cooking. The electric versions are something like a pressure cooker on training wheels, and they seem to help the more timid new users become familiar with pressure cookery, so I think that's a great benefit. It's been my experience that many of people who start out with electric pressure cookers, often "graduate" as they become more confident and then go on to a modern stovetop so they can move beyond the basics and cook a wider variety of foods and recipes.

I hope you'll keep using your pressure cooker and try out lots of new recipes.
