Title: new toys
Post by: goncalo on January 25, 2013, 12:19 AM
So, I went out to the nearest argos today with an intention: To come back home with a hand blender and a pressure cooker. I picked a decent hand blender and a cheaper pressure cooker, but, I'm hoping it will do the trick.

Not a problem at all. As I have a bad vision, I was planning on taking shots of the pages for quick consultation. I have, however, gone one step further and I mailed prestige asking for their manual in PDF format. Let's hope they will get back to us quick enough, otherwise, I'll get the pictures online for you during the weekend. PM me if I forget :-)

Haha! Yeah, no excuses there. I am as guilty as charged as you can get. Lovely slippers though!! ;-)

Judging from the third step, it doesn't seem to fit for mine:

"Place the lid on your pressure cooker and close it tightly. Place the 15-lb. weight that came with your pressure cooker onto the vent tube. Listen for it to click into place."

Mine doesn't have weights, as far as I've seen !?

A button that you can rotate from one side to the other which I have no idea of its purpose, it's right at the junction with the top handle and the pot.

The customerservices person got back to me with a ton of questions to figure out what exact model I am using. If only they had read the subject...

Thanks a lot for looking Salvador :)

Sorry about that, chaps! Glad you're sorted now though.

I've lived 53 of my 54 years on this planet without a pressure cooker, but since acquiring one just after Christmas I now realise that many of those 53 years have been wasted.

I just can't stop using the thing!

And having bought a very good book on the subject, I'm amazed at just how much you can do with the things. It's not all about base gravy and stews, I'm delighted to discover...

Don't be sorry, it's really helpful and I feel appreciated for you taking your time to do a quick search to help us ;-)

I am pretty much with you, except on the age :D, with regards to pressure cookers. They seem to be terra incognita to me as well!
