My mom (and all the women in my family) always had stovetop pressure cookers (we are Indian and these are very common in Indian cooking) and used them daily, and I have NEVER heard a story of one exploding. They are safe.<br />My sister bought me this pressure cooker, and it has worked well for me. It does get finicky some times, where it doesn't get up to pressure so you have to release the pressure and take the lid off and on again to ensure a proper seal. <br />http://www.amazon.com/Prestige-Deluxe-Stainless-Pressure-Cooker/dp/B000UZM9HC<br />I like using a stovetop version because I rarely use all the burners on my stove (I have four) so I know there is always space for it. My counterspace seems to be at a premium, so I am trying to limit the number of electric appliances I have. I already have a vitamix, food processor, & crockpot that I store on a shelf when not in use. I use my pressure cooker about 3-4 times per week.<br />From what I have read, the Instapot is your best bet, but a stainless steel stovetop version (do NOT get aluminum it is far inferior) would be a good economical alternative. Good luck Cinde!

I do keep them in a drawer in the pantry that I try to keep closed (dark), but I can't do much about the humidity. Well at least I feel better that I am not doing something totally wrong.

I have never tried any other pressure cooker, but this one I have had since October and I use it once or twice a day. It has been a huge timesaver in making dried beans from scratch, soups and stews, as well as whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, and steel cut oats. It is easily my favorite and most used appliance. I've never had any fear of mine exploding, as these newer models have several safety features built in.<br /><br />Here is a post of a chili I made in it a while ago with more details of reasons why I love it: http://amysnutritariankitchen.blogspot.com/2014/10/three-bean-chili-pressure-cooker.html<br />Amy's Nutritarian Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200134098931452894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497179589669118598.post-27431748989064769452015-05-05T12:31:54.685-07:002015-05-05T12:31:54.685-07:00Hi Gira, That is so funny how things like that ha...Hi Gira, That is so funny how things like that happen! Glad that my email could come in handy with such perfect timing. :)<br />I store my potatoes in a cardboard box in an open face lower cabinet in my kitchen, which is fairly dark, cool, and dry. I make sure to take them out of their plastic bag so nothing gets mushy and ruins the bunch. Then, I check them once or twice a week, discarding any really bad ones. Mine never seem to grow eyes because I live in a pretty cool area that is never too humid. That might have something to do with yours growing eyes depending on what the weather is like.Amy's Nutritarian Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200134098931452894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497179589669118598.post-4951911113312339552015-05-05T11:33:48.382-07:002015-05-05T11:33:48.382-07:00Hi Amy, what brand and model of pressure cooker do...Hi Amy, what brand and model of pressure cooker do you recommend? I am interested in purchasing one but I am leary due to stories I have heard about them exploding during use. I am sure they have come a long way since then and would appreciate any purchasing advice.

I was planning to look for a potato soup recipe today to use up the ones I have in the pantry, but I received this in my inbox from your blog as if you read my mind!<br />One question - my potatoes always seem to grow eyes when I am not looking, and I cannot keep them for more than 3-4 days it seems in my pantry. How do you store your potatoes so they keep so long? Thanks!Girahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05375494266900931624noreply@blogger.com
