Pressure Cooking Vegetables

"In pressure cooking vegetables, follow the directions that came with your cooker, but learn to adjust cooking time to suit the quality of vegetable being cooked."

A pressure cooker uses steam from water or broth to increase pressure inside the sealed cooker. The trapped steam increases the temperature. Once the pressured steam is released from the cooker you can safely remove the lid and finish prepping your meal.

The first known pressure cooker was invented in 1679 by a French Physicist.

In 1938, Presto released their pressure cooker with immediate success.

Unfortunately, the first World War brought the need for aluminum to the war effort. A lot of companies couldn't get the aluminum they needed to produce products.

After the war, pressure cookers would make an explosive comeback.

Many manufactures were not making the cookers with consumer safety in mind.

The pressure release valves would get clogged and BOOM!

If it wasn't exploding it was leaking dangerously hot water, which would cause the cooker to create more steam, that would then result in another exploding lid.

Due to the lack of back up safety features, their popularity dwindled.

Today we have the Instant Pot!

It is basically a pressure cooker that costs a lot.

Pressure cookers have been popular in Europe for a long time!

But because of a decade of bad cookers, Americans just didn't use them on account of their bad word of mouth marketing.

Today's pressure cookers are way more advance and safer than ever.

If there ever is an accident, it can usually be contributed to user error.

So be sure to read your manual, follow recipes correctly, and stand back just in case.

Stuffed Lamb Cushion for Easter "Lamb is a traditional food for Eater. The lamb is a symbol of Jesus. In John 1:29 Jesus is referred to as "The Lamb of God", who takes away the sin of the world." Lamb is also a traditional Passover meal. In the book of Exodus, God was determined to save His people from their captivity in Egypt. The last plague He sent to Egypt was the death of the firstborn. God commanded that His people take an unblemished lamb, kill it, and but the blood of the lamb on their door post. This would be a sign for the Angel of Death to "passover" the house and not strike their firstborn. It would be after their freedom from slavery that God would institute traditional sacrifice for sins that would involve a lamb. Jesus' last supper was the Passover meal. He and His disciples ate lamb before He instituted the new covenant, teaching His disciples to remember Him in communion. Jesus would go on to be betraye

"Is There a Doctor in the House?" "Medical emergencies may occur at ay time, especially with young children. Prepare ahead of time by knowing exactly what you will do if it becomes necessary to get medical assistance quickly." Let's just sum up this blog post. AMERICAN HEALTHCARE SUCKS I hate doctors and their offices and their bills. This broken system we have is why "natural" remedies are becoming popular. We choose something other than a professional to treat us because our insurance won't cover services or the doctor might just misdiagnose us and throw meds at us. I'm sure this isn't everyone's experience. It has been mine for years. I had a good doctor once. If you want good medical services it will cost you. Remember when you could just go to a doctor? Now you have to make an appointment months in advance. If you need same day service, go to Urgent Care. If you are experiencing an
