We do. I grew up with my mom using one all the time. Oh the stories of pasta sauce on the ceiling.

Anyway, they do an awesome job in a shorter time on the one thing you don't eat. But, they also do potatoes, vegetables, apples and more

Ya just have to be careful and pay attention while using one. Ours is pretty much an antique 1971 Presto.

Pork Roast or chops, with rosemary-potatoes-carrots and onions makes the best whole house air freshener in the world. Oh yeah, and in half the time of conventional methods.

Heat the pot up to a high temp lightly oiled.
dry the pork roast and roll it in flour, pepper and crushed/chopped rosemary
Drop the roast in the pan and sear all sides til brown and crusty from the flour
add the potatoes quartered, carrot slices or chunks, quartered onion and a cup of water

Leave it on high while you put on the lid and seal it, then put the rocker cap on the stem

when the temp and steam are close, the cap starts to rock and sputter a little steam. Adjust the temp down until you get a real nice gentle rock and spit going on. Cooking time starts now.

for a 4lb roast, you let it rock for 35 minutes, turn it off and move off the heat and let the rocker cap stop and the steam pin drop on its own. Oh yeah, there is a little o-ring with a metal pin in it that completes the seal when the steam hits temp. Drops and breaks the steam seal when the pressure releases.

Now, you can do this same meal for about 50 minutes and place the whole pot in a sink filled with cold water and quick cool til the pin drops and your done.

Everything in the pot is cooked awesomely, the juices, water, four and browned stuff make a perfect rosemary grave to smother it all in on the plate.

The house will smell good for several days.


Damn, I'm really hungry right now!
