I typically use high heat until the pressure comes up (starts hissing) then I turn it down to 5 (on a scale of one to 10) and let it pressure cook as needed. I find at medium heat, there’s a nice even pressure and little risk of things burning on the bottom of the pan inside.

I also bought a Lagostina pressure cooker at a thrift store yesterday . . . Brand new in-the-box with manual and recipe book and everything. The manual is written in 6 languages. I came online looking for additional recipes. The manual does not provide default pressure information but I found a post by a user in France saying it was 9psi.

I am going to try your recipe! Tonight my son cooked white kidney beans in our old Presto p.c. while I fired up some chicken paprikash in my “new” delight- the perfect Lagostina that I’ve always wanted and just found at Goodwill (on half-price day, no less!)
However I wish I had the manual, because I don’t know what the default pressure is, and I’m not sure when (or if) I should be tipping the little hinged valve.

Drink the koolaid! I am your leader!

So what about the love of cooking, you ask? Cooking is like making love. It should be done in 3 minutes and followed by a huge meal.
