Presto Pressure Cookers

[Halex]

Great Merlin, good to hear it. Cant wait for it to arrive, hopefully next week.

Does it come with a good recipe book?

 

[DizzyGirl]

The recipe book is pretty basic. I also found I had to google cooking times.

[Merlin]

Hally, the recipe book with the Cuisinart is very American and very basic. I use the Womens Weekly pressure cooker book or the Suzanne Gibbs one.

H, I bought the 5 in 1 and sold one slow cooker on ebay and gave the other away but i was wanting to cut down on appliances in my cupboards. With the WW cookbook was it the bigger one or the standard size one? I've been trying to get the bigger one and haven't been able to. Where did you get the books from?

Have found it here $29.95 free postage

I bought the hardcover WW pressure cooker recipe book at Target for $23.95 about a year ago. I saw some there the other day in stock and still about the same price.

[JulieO]

I got mine from Target too Merlin.  I think Wonder had tried there without success and was finding it hard to locate a copy. I could be wrong.

[Merlin]

My apologies- I hadn't read that post!

[JulieO]

No need to apologise Merlin, not at all. It was a while ago that Wonder was asking about the book because she couldn't find one, it stuck in my mind and when I saw this today I thought I'd post it.

The softcover WW book is only about $12.95 and is in the supermarket and newsagency

[Merlin]

Yep, I saw the softcover one after I had forked out for the hardcover one although I do prefer hardcover cookbooks especially in the kitchen- the softcover ones seem to cop more of a battering from me when I'm cooking.

[Halex]

Fishpond had both, bought the hardcover as it has more recipes.

Cant wait, any ideas what should  be my first dish, easy please as I will be very wary if it.

Thanks for the link i'll have another look at trying to buy the larger of the WW books. I'm not sure if the shops in my area of Melbourne (Heidelberg) don't stock them or they keep running out but I've been unable to get either of WW ones around here. I've never purchased off fishpond and it has some bad reviews so I'm a bit nervous, I would much prefer book depository but they don't seem to have it in stock either - maybe there is a new one coming out??

[Merlin]

Wonder- I only used Fishpond once and they stuffed up the order badly- in other words I won't use them ever again. Also, I cant stand the fact that if there is a problem there is no direct contact number, it all gets done via emails ie cr*p service if you ask me!! If I buy books online I now only use The book depository- always get the order right, arrives promptly and funnily, most of my pressure cooker books have come from their website. Also, being in Heidelberg you probably would find the books at any Kmart or Target store. I don't know if you go to Westfield Doncaster but there would definitely be some stores that sell the WW pressure cooker books there.

[Halex]

I have never used fishpond before, hope thay are going to be OK.

Merlin, that's what I had heard about fishpond so wasn't going to give them a try. I've tried both Doncaster and Northland, target, myer, Big W, K-mart, the remaining bookstores, Woolworths, Coles and even the newsagency!! Must just be bad timing, I haven't tried since I bought the PC about 8 weeks ago so maybe they have got them back in stock but I haven't had any time to look at the shops recently, I even tried the library and they don't have it. Will try again online.
