I see. And did you partake in the bistecca fiorentina in Firenze?I can't answer that. I'm just trying to explain to you the point Zaide was trying to make, I'm not debating the merits of the device itself since I know nothing about it.
Pressure cookers are NOT a one-stop shop in the kitchen. As a reasonably adequate home cook that comes from a line of great Italian home cooks (and I sometimes live up to my family), the only things I ever use a pressure cooker for are the following:
- canning vegetables (which cannot be safely canned in boiling water canning due to their lack of acid)
- braising/slow-cooking when I do not have the time to do so properly using my cast iron dutch ovens and such
