Re: Pressure cooker question...

[Guest guest]

Hi ...

With regards to the pressure cooker - I would ditch the aluminum

one as there is some research being done connecting the use of

aluminum cookware with the rise in Alzheimers [sp] due to the

leaching of aluminum into the food. If it were me I would

choose stainless steel instead as a careful measure. Even

though Aveline Kushi and other teachers have expressed their

preference of cooking rice in a pressure cooker I never owned

one - cooking rice in a stainless steel Revere Ware pot with

copper bottom. Other people who really love cooking with a

pressure cooker may offer another opinion.

And with regards to your taking care of a dog does not want to

eat - I am house/dog sitting for a dog who would not eat a

couple meals last week. He was missing his family who have gone

to New Zealand for a month. Sometimes depending upon the dog I

have given him/her a large spoonful of whatever I have made for

myself -like lentil soup or rice with something else on it to

make it more interesting - putting it on top of their food. I

remember having to do that with another dog a couple years ago

who missed his family. Offering the dog more attention could

alter the situation - letting the dog know you care about

him/her. But that does not always work. Take care.

Thanks for the tips!

The simplynatural site has a Kuhn Rikon pressue cookers which are

stainless with an aluminum core for even heat disribution as they

describe it. So if I understand correctly it's the stainless that

contacts the food. (One of the testimonials said something about " even

though their stainless steel their non-stick. " (I also trust the

simplynatural site which is affiliated with the CyberMacro site.)

They're supposed to be among the best pressure cookers out there. (The

current one I have all aluminum.)

OK...I don't have any leftovers right now but I have a little veggie

" chicken " salid that she might like. Tomorrow perhaps I'll have

something else.

Thanks again!

Hi emilie, , and friends,

To help you (and others) with the why use a pressure cooker and how to

select a pressure cooker questions, I created this blog page:

When

you are under a lot of pressure...

Don't throw out the aluminum pressure cooker as you can still use it to

purify jars for canning foods and making preserves (just don't have the

aluminum in contact with foods)!

I'm thinking that a way to get any animal (including person) to eat

edible food is just withhold the food for a meal or two (until it

indicates that s/he is really hungry), and then feed h/im/er!

I can't imagine that your finicky friend would be very finicky after

that.

I was a finicky eater (and would not eat certain foods that were served

to me, while living in Los Angeles at age 10) until I was sent to my

first summer camp up at Lake Arrowhead where the days were warm but the

nights were cold, sleeping in uninsulated bunkhouses and every morning

getting less to eat than the other kids because of my finickiness and

less aggressive table habits and by the time camp ended, I was getting

enough to eat and my folks were surprised that I was eating everything

they fed me when I got back home!

If you want to discuss with other others about macrobiotic pet care

please visit macroPETS

and read the December 1979 East West Journal interview with Dr. Norman

Ralston, the macrobiotic veterinarian and author of Raising Healthy

Pets: Insights of a Holistic Veterinarian.

Thank you, very much.

Hi ,

The Kuhn Rikon pressure cookers are really

good . On some of the pots from Kun Rikon, they are more in the shape of a fry

pan and have a waffle bottom for browning etc, it is still actually stainless

steel, but virtually non stick surface for browning etc as that quote referred

to it. All the pots are in fact stainless steel only in terms of what comes in

contact with food.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the tips Bruce! The article was excellent and confirmed what

I was t hinking.

What I did was bought a " natural " vitamin gravy that might encourage her.

But you're right...when she gets hungry enough she'll eat.

You are welcome!

We have to price the Kuhn Rikon the same

price as others, but we try to differentiate ourselves by including a free

glass lid so the pot does not just have to be used for pressure cooking.

I myself have used the aeternum pressure

cooker type for yrs. But more recently started to use a WMF myself and really

like it.

By the way, for new customers to Simply

Natural, use the code New at checkout and get $5.00 of your order of $50.00 or

more.

Hi ,

I really should be trying more of the

pressure cookers personally I sell to give the best answer.

I had for 16 yrs just used the aeternum

pressure cooker we sell. That is the type that most people who were macrobiotic

seemed to use back then. That is considered the first generation of pressure

cookers in terms off the systems they use etc, a jiggle value versus a spring

loaded. The Lagostina we sell is really pretty much the same design and also

made in Italy.

I wanted to have something more modern and

saw the WMF at a trade show last March. It was shown to me how it is so easy to

take apart the lid to clean etc, plus the pressure system and I was

impressed. I did like using it a lot at first because it was so much more

modern than what I had, but more recently, at times it seems to almost be

getting clogged and pressure getting to an extreme level and once or twice

going into release mode. Other times I have had not problems so really can’t

figure that all out. Even after talking to the company I still have not.

In terms of the Fagor versus Kuhn Rikon, I

just found a link to a great article that compares various pressure cookers.

This is about 7 yrs old, but rated the Mafesta as #1 the Kuhn Rikon as 2 and

the Fagor as three.

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/rec.food.equipment/msg/816ab643840fdece?hl=en

That is interesting on the Magefesta as I just got in contact with a new

importer of it here and had debated about starting to sell that too, wondering

if I already had enough.

Hope some of this helps,

Yes, I noticed your prices are quite

that is " name " and how much a difference in quality? I also looked

the

the two brands you have personal experience using and they look good too.

Hi Klara,

When I told someone at WMF about the

tendency to clog, they told me at the end of cooking to release the pressure by

pushing the mechanism forward and if there was a clog, that would take care of

things. I still need to play around with that to see if it addresses the

problem enough. I have the 2.5 qt size like you and Ilanit does too. Befroe I

even got mine, Ilanit did talk about there being a water fill line which limits

the degree that you can fill the pressure cooker and it has been an issue for

me just a few times. If I can get the clogging issue under control then I will

be happy enough with it. In all honesty, I can’t say that after trying a

Kuhn Rikon or even a Fagor that I would like that still more.

Pressure cooker question...

I don't have as much experience as you do, . I'd bought a cheapy (before mb days),

Faberware NutriMaster and for some reason it didn't do the pressure thing after

a short while. It came with a little thingamajig (looked like a thin plastic

toothpick) to clean out the hole and I lost that very quickly. I figured it

wasn't coming to pressure because I couldn't clean it out well.

But now I also have the WMF (21/2 qt) and love it. But yes, it does

need tender loving care - once it wouldn't come to pressure and I realized the

rubber in the lid had been twisted probably in cleaning. Yes, it does need to

be cleaned carefully so it doesn't get clogged up. And yes, I have also made

the mistake of getting distracted when cooking and not watching it, then

suddenly hearing the loud noise warning me of too much pressure.

What is release mode?? Would that be what happens if I don't turn off

the gas once I hear the loud noise???

Hi ,

I really should be trying more of

the pressure cookers personally I sell to give the best answer.

I had for 16 yrs just used the

aeternum pressure cooker we sell. That is the type that most people who were

macrobiotic seemed to use back then. That is considered the first generation of

pressure cookers in terms off the systems they use etc, a jiggle value versus a

spring loaded. The Lagostina we sell is really pretty much the same design and

also made in Italy.

I wanted to have something more

modern and saw the WMF at a trade show last March. It was shown to me how it is

so easy to take apart the lid to clean etc, plus the pressure system and

I was impressed. I did like using it a lot at first because it was so much more

modern than what I had, but more recently, at times it seems to almost be

getting clogged and pressure getting to an extreme level and once or twice

going into release mode. Other times I have had not problems so really

can’t figure that all out. Even after talking to the company I still have

not.

In terms of the Fagor versus Kuhn

Rikon, I just found a link to a great article that compares various pressure

cookers. This is about 7 yrs old, but rated the Mafesta as #1 the Kuhn Rikon as

2 and the Fagor as three.

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/rec.food.equipment/msg/816ab643840fdece?hl=en

That is interesting on the Magefesta as I just got in contact with a new

importer of it here and had debated about starting to sell that too, wondering

if I already had enough.

Hope some of this helps,

Thanks for the info .

Yes, I noticed your prices are quite

competitive. I had posted a question about the Fagor products vs Kuhn

Rikon?? There's such a huge difference in price I wonder how much of

that is " name " and how much a difference in quality? I also looked

the

the two brands you have personal experience using and they look good too.

Also be sure to look at the silit pressure cookers - check the archives

here i think for some discussion on them. I have collected a few

different brands over the years and like most of them but the SIlit

silargen is in a class of its own in performance and also the results

of the food cooked in it. Silargon does not impart any taste on the

food. Amazing!
