    Looking for some advice please on pressure cookers. Have never used one so am looking for a little advice.

    I make my own natto, but have read that cooking the beans is best, and easiest, in a pressure steamer. So I guess a pressure cooker plus a steamer basket.

    Looking at the usual search results, boy, there are multitudes listed. Has anyone got a pressure cooker, electric or hob powered, plus a steamer basket that all works, who can give me a pointer please?

      Most of the electric ones are multicookers I think. So I guess it depends if you’re going to use it for other cooking functions.

      We have a cheaper crockpot one we got a couple of years ago. It came with a metal trivet to use inside to lift whatever you put inside above the liquid if you want to steam. I assume you could probably replicate this with a stove top pressure cooker?

        That’s interesting, thanks for the Crock-pot pointer. Is your’s a sealed lid, so the cooking is under pressure and therefore quicker? The keeping the food above the liquid thing is a key for me.
