The Power Pressure Cooker XL- Meals at the touch of a button

I'm just getting to know my Power Pressure Cooker but I have a feeling this relationship is going somewhere!  I'm falling head over heals in love.  Like any other relationship, we had some bumps in the road to begin with, AKA I didn't follow directions very well 😉 . But we're starting to understand each other a little better and - WOW! My first attempt may or may not have flopped because someone (ahem) may or may not have put around 16 times as much liquid in the cooker as he was calling for... That being said the chicken was still delish! 🙂

For round two, I decided to actually follow the instructions, and what do you know - it turned out fabulous and in a fraction of the time. You can get my version of Pressure Cooker Insanely Delish Chicken Dip here.

From start to finish this chicken was done in 35 minutes with 25 of that just cooking time. Super simple (when you follow directions)! The Power Pressure Cooker is giving me much more than tender juicy meals, it's giving me something much more valuable than that - TIME. I'm not spending half of my evening preparing meals and cleaning up after it's devoured by two growing man-children!

If you're looking for something to simplify your meal planning, I would 100% recommend this pressure cooker. In the short time I've had my Power Pressure Cooker XL I've made chicken wings, a whole roasted chicken, baked beans, and of course the Crack Chicken that you can find below. Each recipe literally took a fraction of the time to cook and tasted absolutely divine! The wings and the whole chicken fell off the bone it was so tender! The baked beans - who knew baked beans could be so easy?!? I threw all of the ingredients in the cooker and 15 minutes later, I had a pot of yummy goodness!

  10. An amazing way to cook various foods quicker and still maintain lots of flavor. At the touch of a button, food does not have to take forever to cook. For me the Power Pressure Cooker would be perfect, since I can not stand long periods of time anymore and there would be no more spending time over a hot stove.

  23. Wow it cooks 70% faster than the oven. I would love to have a good meal ready in 15 minutes! This cooker seems like a lifesaver.

    Reply
  24. Wow!!! This most definitely sounds better than my slow cooker, but I still have questions. Like can you sear the meat in this before locking it and cooking and how hard is it to clean? I guess I don't really need the answers because I want one anyway.

    Reply
  25. This invention is just so amazing to me. I dread cooking supper every night. We usually have to have the same things over & over & so time consuming! I love that you just pop a chicken in and walah..done! One of these days..I will have one!

    Reply
  26. I would like to know more about cleanup after use. Can you submerse it in water? And does it with a recipe book of any kind to help get started. I have a small stove top pressure cooker and would like to get something larger.

    Reply
  27. I really like that it has preset buttons to help take the guess work out of Dinner. So much faster than cooking in an oven! I'd love to try ribs and baked beans!

    Reply
  28. Man!!! 70% faster???!!!! WHA???!!! I love my oven but not in the summer. Heats up the house too much. I have a toaster oven, but I'm more and more convinced it's really for toast. I'm thinking this Pressure cooker would have the room and I could Chuck my toaster out to the drive way n run it over with my car...

    Reply
  29. My Daughter never heard of pressure cooking, but I remember my mother doing it .The food was amazing! I can't wait to try it!

    Reply
  30. What really interest me is that it takes a fraction of the time that it would in a regular oven. Sure would make dinner time a lot easier!

    Reply
  31. I have been wanting one for quite a long time now. I like the idea that less power would be used to cook and can. I would mostly be excited about canning. I normally don't can in large jars so this would be great. I wouldn't have to keep a close eye on the pressure because the Power Pressure Cooker XL is programmable. Just think, a meal in minutes and its not in a controversial microwave.

    Reply
  32. It would be so nice to win this, as I know I can never afford to buy one living on SS. It sure takes some getting use to after working hard all your life. But I still miss roofing, wait, that makes me crazy too right? Maybe I can get a bigger check???

    Reply
  33. Love that it is one button "get it done" process. We cook a lot of chicken so this would be perfect especially on soccer practice evenings.

    Reply
  34. This pressure cooker sounds amazing! I can't believe how quickly it can cook meals, that is brilliant. 🙂 I would definitely love to try one, being able to just press one button and be done would be a life saver!

    Reply
  35. It's amazing how fast you can cook foods in this pressure cooker - your review says 70% faster than conventional ovens! It would make cooking in the summer months a lot easier not needing the long time using regular ovens and not adding all that heat into the kitchen.

    Reply
  36. The controls looks really great to use with simple buttons. Cuts cooking time down so much. Love the picture showing the controls.

    Reply
  37. it cooks rice. I can not cook rice in a pot. It comes out sticky and always burned on the bottom. My husband usually stop at the Chinese take out to pick up rice because I can not make it right.

    Reply
  38. I like how fast this power pressure cooker can cook your chicken and other meats, that would speed up cooking time and that would be great on weeknights.

    Reply
  39. This is not my mother's pressure cooker which I expected to blast off every time she used it. Exciting. The Power Pressure Cooker is not only safer but what I like is the versatility of styles of cooking with it. One can even use it for canning. Great cooker and something that will get a lot of use.

  43. I love that even the the cooking is fast, the food is still moist. I struggle sometimes with a slow cooker and the meat drying out or being too tough.

    Reply
  44. I have cooked under pressure before-a long time ago-when pressure cooking was fraught with danger! This pressure cooker looks so easy=-and safe!

    Reply
  45. I love that this cooks food up to 70% faster than in the oven. I had no idea - I see something like this and assume it works like a slow-cooker - as in it takes all day to make something. It sounds like a great tool to have when I want a great dinner but don't have an hour to wait while it cooks in the oven!

    Reply
  46. Thanks for the recipes. This pressure cooker sounds like it would fit my busy schedule perfectly by being so fast. I also had no idea you could cook things like baked beans in there.

    Reply
  47. This pressure cooker looks pretty easy to use. It would get a lot of use at my house. I make lots of soups and stews and this would really speed things up.

  48. I like the one touch technology. I still have my old pressure cooker, but have not used it lately. This new power pressure cooker xl is so much nicer.

    Reply
  49. I use a regular pressure cooker. The main problem I have with it, is knowing how long to let it cook. The presets sound wonderful. I hate to overcook a meal and have it turn out dry. I would probably love this one.

    Reply
  50. Thanks for the review. I always assumed there was a lot more work involved with using a pressure cooker, but this sounds super impressive and like it would really save some time!

  51. I remember y mother using her pressure cooker and telling us kids not to be running through the house or jumping because of it being dangerous. I'm so glad they are safer.

    Reply
  52. So happy that pressure cookers are now safe! Lordy, my mom had so many blow ups in our kitchen when I was a child..teen..she finally chucked it!

  53. I've wanted a pressure cooker for ages. I love my crockpot since I can "set it and forget it" but I also love the idea of being able to cook dinner so quickly as well.

    Reply
  54. I've never owned or used a pressure cooker. I think I would like how quickly it cooks things. It'd be nice to not heat up the oven.

    Reply
  55. I never knew that pressure cookers cooked 70% faster. I have 3 boys 2 under 3 so it's hard to cook a meal for 5 when I have littles under my feet asking to be picked up. It would be so much easier to cook in something like this. Also I completely understand when you say a mama just needs 48hrs lol unfortunately I've never had that not even 6 unless I'm working lol

    Reply
  56. I love the one touch technology. It makes everything so simple and you don't have to watch it constantly like the old pressure cookers.

    Reply
  57. I noticed this has a large opening at the top and I really like that. I also like that it has the clock timer countdown on the front. I like to watch countdown clocks.

    Reply
  58. I love that it's digital and has pre-set buttons, along with the fact that it cooks meals so fast. It is a lot less intimidating looking than a standard pressure cooker. I noticed in the first pic also, that it looks like you can do some canning with it as well, which is a huge bonus for me.

  60. 35 minutes to cook a chicken is great . I love products to cook with that make it fast and easy to do. This looks easy one pot cooking and quick too love to try one out.

  61. This amazing item sounds like I would have my own personal chef at the touch of a button!!
    Also I can just imagine all the juices and flavors the food would have because it puts them all back in like a revolving door. They can't escape! So yummy & tasty! Watch out taste buds, a treat called natural flavor is coming your way!!

  64. The beans is what I really want to try, I have soaked beans over night and cooked all day and they still weren't soft, so if you can cook bean this fast, hurrah!

  69. I've loved using my pressure cooker for years but I'm ready to spring into the new millenium and get onboard with this new Power Pressure Cooker! Btw, where is the Crack chicken recipe?

  70. My grandmother did a lot of her cooking in an old school pressure cooker. Since I am not all that great at meal planning, I know I would love how quickly things cook, even when I forget to soak beans or thaw meat.

    Reply
  71. My mom has an archaic pressure cooker from the 70s. While it does the job still after 40+ years, it is really scary to watch it cook things. I would never use that myself for fear of losing a body part! This looks so simple and I would definitely make beans in it as I make them on the stove and it is time consuming and messy!

    Reply
  72. I have an old pressure cooker and afraid to use it now. I love food prepared in the cooker. This one would be great for preparing meals fast and quick. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

  73. This would be a great win for me because it's hard for me to stand up and cook, I could do a great stew,soup,or casserole in this with ease

  76. I had one 35 yrs ago the old fashioned one with the weight valve on top and was canning green beans I forgot to put water in it and blew the small safety valve on the lid (didn't destroy anything) just scared me. The new one's are safer. I would love to have a new pressure cooker with preset times and one button ease

    Reply
  77. I've heard so many awesome things about pressure cookers. And I've even looked into them... but, they're a bit on the pricey side for me at least. I love the fact that using a pressure cooker reduces cooking time by a lot. Though this one has a lot of buttons, I'm sure using directions 😉 would make it quite easy to use. i did go and check out your insanely delicious chicken dip and OMG. It looks absolutely delicious. The only thing that I would change up is bacon, we don't really eat it.

    Reply
  78. I would love the one button to press! Delicious meals quickly as well! I homeschool my son's, they are both special needs so that takes some time, I also take care of my mother. My son also has stomach problems due to his health condition. So we are having to make meals that he can handle so this would be perfect to get them on the table and have it cooking while I can still be doing things for the family. It would be an Epic win in this house! I also loved that it can be used for canning as I want to can foods for the winter when fresh is not so available for our family as well so that it would be better for my son's stomach issues.

  81. My pantry is taken up with my rice cooker and multiple slow cookers. When I was growing up, my mom always used a pressure cooker, but it was one of those bulky metal ones that you used on the top of the stove. I've heard great things about these electric pressure cookers and would love to have one.

  82. I like that the pressure cooker is digital. The one I have isn't digital and so I think that would be really convenient. I also just like how nice and appealing it looks.

  83. This would be so much better than the scary old stovetop pressure cooker that I used years ago! So much easier and more convenient! I could see me using it a couple times a week at least!

    Reply
  84. My mom always used an old fashioned pressure cooker. I was scared of it, lol She never had a problem tho, however when she asked me if I wanted it, I said nooooooooo lol I loved the food she cooked in it, but I could never duplicate the taste with regular pots and pans. This one looks much easier than my mom's and I think I'd be able to use it. Maybe I'd finally get the taste in the meals by using this 🙂

  85. I have been seeing so much about pressure cookers lately, and this one looks like it would meet all of my cooking needs.

  86. I don't have a lot of new recipes I have tried but I have made pulled pork for my kids and I. I can only do it on my days off work because it takes so long to cook in the slow cooker. Like you, I have 5 kids and a single dad so saving time and cooking better meals would be terrific for me. I have been printing off many more recipes to try so this sure could help make life easier.

  89. The Pressure Cooker Insanely Delish Chicken Dip recipe sounds really, really good! Until I receive my Power Pressure Cooker (!) I will attempt this recipe with chicken from my rice cooker. I like the idea of having presets. No guess work...just follow the recipe then hide in the panty, also a great tip!

  90. I love how it has settings that know how to cook things without wondering how long to do it for! It's a time saver too!

  91. I was always afraid to use a pressure cooker. I thought it would explode. Now this one is such a different story. It sounds so easy to use and with a one touch button what could possible go wrong. No more worrying about it exploding. I love that it can cook a meal in a fraction of the time too.

  94. I love all the pre-sets. Looks like this could really help me get my cooking done faster for those normally time consuming meals. Love it.

    Reply
  95. I've heard good and bad things about electric pressure cookers, so I'm still on the fence until I'm able to try it out with our favorite recipes. I cook a lot of Italian and Latin foods (not mexican) and the ones we love the most are high heat beginning, then low and slow stewing time. My mother-in-law used to use a stove top pressure cooker and I had it after she passed. Along the moves, we've lost it and I haven't been able to get another one. I would love to give this one a try, to see if it's as good as I remember Mami's 🙂

    Reply
  96. I like that it would cook less tender pieces of meat and make them tender and that it cooks 70% faster than conventional ovens. This would save money and time.

  97. SO easy and so fast!! Like something straight out of my dreams lol!! This lady needs one!! I am the queen of the last minute 😉

  98. I've never used a pressure cooker (always been a little afraid). Seems like they have really modernized it and made it easy to use. I like that the lid locks on and everything is a one button, digital push and go. Thanks for the review!

  99. I had the old kind of pressure cooker with the jiggly round thing on top. I never felt totally comfortable with it. I like the top locking on this one.

  100. Oh wow! This would be great for cooking those tough cuts of meat. To be able to come home, start the cooker, go get a bath, maybe clean up a little and come back to find dinner ready, would be so nice. Also, we eat a lot of rice and I see the pot is good for that too!

    Reply
  101. I can imagine how great this must be! I'm all about it taking 70% less time than cooking in the oven....especially for after work or in the summer when I don't want to heat up the kitchen with the oven on. Thanks for the chance to win! 🙂

  108. This is something my husband has on his wishlist. I like that they have perfected pressure cookers so that you don't have to worry about them exploding. (Oh the stories my late mother-in-law used to tell!).
    I appreciate your fessing up to some trial & error - makes me feel better about giving the pressure cooker a try.

  109. I am a big fan of the pressure cooker. We have had one for years. This Power Pressure Cooker XL is the "cadillac" of all pressure cookers! I am really impressed with the one-touch technology- all you have to do is press one of the pre-set buttons and you are good to go. I am looking forward to trying this product.

    Reply
  110. I like the pre-set buttons for cooking! My pressure cooker doesn't have that so I'm always having to guess on how long to cook!

  111. I really like how easy the pressure cooker is to use. It would be great to be able to save time cooking and spend it with my family instead.

    Reply
  112. I love the idea of one touch cooking, fast cooking, and little clean up. I also like that you'd get a slow cooker taste with a much faster cooking time. I would absolutely read the whole manual before I attempted anything because I've never used a pressure cooker before and I'd be afraid It'd blow up if I didn't 🙂

    Reply
  113. My Mom had an old pressure cooker, and while everything came out delicious, I always thought it was too much of a pain. It would be nice because this one looks so easy! This is definitely on my wish list!

  114. I love the One-Touch Technology and how quick you can make meals in the Power Pressure Cooker XL. It looks like a great way to make complete meals even on a busy day.

    Reply
  115. I think the time savings would be the thing I'd like best. I have heard and I can see this being true for me, that not being able to "mess" with the food, you know, stir, taste, add this or that, can be irritating.

    Reply
  116. The fact it is a one button and it is timed for you is wonderful. I remember my mother using one that had a round pressure valve that would jiggle on the top cover and scare me.
