I can’t say I loved my pressure cooker until I was introduced to Kathy. Kathy loves and understands the pressure cooker the way my grandmother loves hers so I figured it was worth trying out. I don’t usually take shortcuts in the kitchen. Since I could use more hours with my family, I decided to test out Kathy’s book as if I didn’t know how to cook.

And at what cost? The big question for everyone today is whether to certify or not – and why?
