Just used one last night. I made a version of beef stew. Using a crock pot, it takes 4-6 hours. The pressure cooking time was 20 minutes. Beef comes out very tender. Time to heat from boiling to pressure, maybe 5 minutes.
Start off with a smaller one, say 6 qt, made of stainless steel. If you really like it, get a larger one.
Once at pressure, reduce heat to minimum to keep a little steam escaping
You need to understand the different food and how the react. Potatoes do not need as much time as beef. Carrots and parsnip can stay together with the beef. Onions will turn to liquid.
Once the time is up, take the cooker and put it in the sink. Run cold water over the cooker until the pressure is gone. Then you can safely open the cooker.
