You don't need to monitor the progress of boiling, you just pre-set the timer. The food comes out perfectly cooked and ready to eat.
In the recipe I described above, you can cook everything in one pot - just add olive oil and the chicken in the bottom - it is not even necessary to cut up the chicken.
I am a bachelor and cook almost 100% of my meals using a pressure cooker now. I rarely order takeout, it is so convenient.
I own one, I use it all the time. This is false. I have to remove the seal, disassemble a valve and remove some components. A pot for mac and cheese just gets tossed in the dishwasher.
This is especially false when you want to grate cheese (now I have to clean a cheese grater).
Electric pressure cookers do not reduce the cleanup or prep at all. It replaces one pot, everything else is the same.
Compare this to boil water, dump in a box contents, wait a few minutes. Clean ONE pot and ONE spoon.
Every oven/cooktop I have ever used has a timer.
My oven and range do not have a timer. It's beautifully simple. Also, I buy grated cheese to avoid cleanup. That's one of my extragavances.
> Wash after each use with hot water and mild dish soap and allow to air dry, or place in top rack of dishwasher.
> Remove all parts from lid before dishwashing.
> With steam release valve and anti-block shield removed, clean interior of steam release pipe to prevent clogging.
I also had to buy extra seals so my beef barley soup doesn't taste like chili.
