How often do you find that you want a rib sticking kind of dinner, get home late from work and realise that you don't have 3 hours to cook the dinner in the oven.
Perhaps you're feeling a little poorly, that doesn't stop the family needing feeding, so you want to cook health meals as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Saving money is good too.
Tonight is one of those nights. I'm not feeling brilliant, have some braising steak to cook, so out comes my Pressure Cooker, frazzle off the ingredients, (making sure not more than 1/3rd full), pop on the lid, bring to pressure and 20 minutes later, the Goulash will be ready. I can then pop in some dumplings to simply steam (not under pressure) for another 20 minutes. Full goulash with dumplings cooked in under 60 minutes.
Get adventurous, the meat is very tender, full of flavour and nutrients.
If you are on a budget, cooking pulses/beans is really quick and easy too, saves you a fortune and a great meal extender. Homemade boston beans are amazing.
My only advice is to get a stainless steel pressure cooker I've got the Tefal Secure 5 6l pressure cooker, not an aluminium pan (may be link to Alzheimers).
Remember, there's nothing like a homemade Christmas Pudding, with a pressure cooker it takes a fraction of the time to steam, but get a pressure cooker big enough to take your pudding (plus greaseproof/foil lid).
I think this is the best labour saving gadget I own.
