Pressure cookers rock!  At least that little thing on top does.  Makes
its own music as does Mr. Squirrel.  Might I recommend the original
"Geezer Cooker"  A National/Presto model 40.  Fuel efficient, handy as
a usual casual pot and with proper retrofitting of a MirroMatic vent
and bombproof 'jiggler' the creme de la creme of pressure cookers.

  The outlandishly useful vanagon feature is that the handles are
removable for stowage inside the pot with the 'jiggler' and the
'grate' that keeps the cooking from direct contact with the bottom of
the vessel.   Fits handily where other larger bulkier osha-approved
ones might not, mine does well underseat or in cabinet.  Real wooden
handles not some chincey substitute.  Fits right on top of the
Condelli Flame Spreader/tortilla browner, decorative grate on top of
the westy burner.  How do you cook an artichoke to perfection in just
12 minutes?  Presto is the answer.   Boiled tongue with chilies,  its
a snap, pot roast, small furry critters, sameo sameo,  all those tough
things that boggle the mind in a camper like smoked hocks and anasasi
beans.  Presto!  Made in USA when men were men, some of the women were
men and the mutton was nervous,  oh yea good for mutton too.
Batteries not required.

Good to see Mr. Squirrel scampering around again as it is time to bury
the nuts as witnesses in my back 40 will confirm.

HOMELAND SECURITY NOTE:  All my pressure cookers are fully functional
locked but not loaded and unregistered.  They're legal to carry openly
nationwide until that freedom too is lost.

Pensionerd.

Pix pointer to follow on Fryeday.   Oh yeah, you can can in em too.
But WAIT! theres more...on Fryeday
