Day 194..... I DIDN'T BLOW UP THE HOUSE!!!

I tried out my new toy today. I got a new 10 quart Fagor Futuro Pressure Cooker. I cooked almost 5 pounds of pork loin in it. By the time I got it figured out, total cooking time was about 30 minutes. It was wonderful. It was fun. It was so tender, and juicy. I am sold. It claims to be "The Single Most Important Piece of Cookware You'll Ever Own". Well, I don't know about you, but EVER is a mighty powerful word. But they may be on to something. My intentions are always good. Today was supposed to be a crock pot kind of day. But, my bad, I forgot to get the pork out to thaw in time. In the crock pot, it would have been fork tender as well. But, when I forget to thaw or forget to start the crock pot, 30 minutes vs. 6-8 hours? That is a no brainer. I am very excited to see all the things I can make in it. I am so impressed already, I am about to order the Fagor Futuro 5 piece set that includes a 6 quart and a 4 quart. Those should be perfect for smaller amounts of food. Between my cast iron dutch ovens, 7 quart crock pots, and now my super cooker... do I even need an oven?
