Thread Name: BS: My head has become a pressure cooker
Subject: BS: My head has become a pressure cooker
I'm on a hunt, an obsession really, for advice about pressure cooker/canners. I want to get one. I want one badly. However, every site I've looked at to get recommendations on pressure cookers/canners has had a link to purchase the recommended cooker through their site. I want some field tests! I want some unpurchased opinions!

Let me tell you the product specs I'm looking for:
1.) Has to be a canner/cooker type WITH canner insert included.
2.) Has to be relatively easy to operate.
3.) Has to have other accessories included or purchaseable.
4.) Has to be at least 8 qt. capacity.

I do limited amounts of canning, so I'm going for the pressure cooker variety, because I'd be able to use a pressure cooker with some regularity (I can just see it- 20 min. adobo chicken, mmmmmmmmmm....) Does anyone have words of advice for me? I'm not looking to purchase one used because of the whole safety issue.
