I have a very old Sunbeam egg cooker

In Reply to: my experience agrees - sm
makes soft, medium, and hard boiled eggs. It also has a "point" in the lid (where you measure the water for the type of egg you want) and you use this to put a hole in the end of the egg, so this may be true.
I love this cooker. Uses no more than a 1/4 cup of water and automatically shuts off when the eggs are done. Never a guessing game. Don't know if they still sell them but I'll be in a world of trouble if this cooker dies. Of all the automatic counter-clutter devices I own, this one is my favorite.

Liking my pressure cooker better than the slow cooker.
After umpteen zillion years of cooking, I finally decided to invest in a pressure cooker about 3 weeks ago, and I love it more than the crockpot. I do like the slow cooker for some things... ribs and pulled pork, for instance. I also like making home-made spaghetti sauce, bean or pea soups, and mmmm mmmm apple butter in it. But most meat prepared in the slow cooker is too dry for me. With the pressure cooker, I'm making really moist foods in no time. I made a fantastic stew in the pressure cooker last week. It was done so fast, and the meat was so much more tender than when I've cooked it all day in the slow cooker. I also made the most delicious Manhattan clam chowder in about 15 minutes. Terrific! Both the slow cooker and the pressure cooker now have honored places in my kitchen. I couldn't do without either one.
Slow cooker
It has been my experience in the past that slow cookers do not cook a turkey well. It you buy a 12 pound bird, it will only take 2-2½ hours in the oven. You may also cook it over night at 200º for 6-8 hours, then brown it off at 375º. Simple recipe. Clean bird and dry. Salt cavity of bird. Place a mixture of butter, rosemary, sage, salt, and pepper under the skin of the turkey. Lightly coat outside of bird with olive oil or remaining butter mixture. Cover with foil and cook overnight or bake at 375º for 1½ hours, then remove foil and continue cooking until done. Internal temp should reach 150º.
Get a rice cooker sm
could never make rice. Been using a rice cooker for 10 years and it's perfect every time.
Electric pressure cooker...
The electric pressure cooker seems nice, and I like that it has a removable pot, but it didn't look it would hold very much, and then the top of it may be hard to wash. I've kind of gotten away from buying the very-tempting electric appliances. They are hard to wash, and to hard to store. I guess if I had a huge amount of cabinets, I would though.
Cooking question using pressure cooker
I want to cook some blacked peas for tomorrow and the peas I have are just loose ones. What I need to know is for a pressure cooker- how many peas and how much water do I use? Sorry but just forgot. Thanks!
