Mum uses hers for corned beef. Comes out really nice and much quicker than slow cooking it.

Looking forward to hearing what people have to say about Pressure Cookers, what one would people recommend.

I use mine heaps for stews, steak and kidney pudding, corned beef, meat for pies etc. Mine is a really old Hawkins, bought off here. Had a Hawkins one for years then changed it for a new one which was rubbish - sorry can't remember the brand - the seal leaked from day 1 so the pressure was never right, so bought another Hawkins.

I have one of the new Swiss ones, perfect, no noise at all.I also have two slow cookers butpickled, pork and corned beef taste much better out of the pressure cooker.Also excellent for making soups.Slow cookers I use for larger pieces of meat and casserole type meals.

Fagor, WMF or Kuhn Rikon are the best.

We've got one of those Fast Slow Cookers from Breville (from memory- I'd get up and have a look but got the cat and dog on my knee).really great. Husband uses it to make casseroles.

If you look up Michael Joyce, they are the distributors in NZ for WMF. I am sure they will be able to help you

We have one of these also and find it fantastic. Perfect for soup, stew, roasts, lamb shanks etc etc. Easy to use and great when you get home from work and want food quickly. The added bonus with the fast slow cooker is you can use it as a crockpot if you want.
I have Lisa Loveday's Pressure Cooker recipe book which is a great companion to the pressure cooker

Hi Julie, DKSH in Albany, Auckland are the distributors. There is a thread here somewhere where I put up the details incl part numbers etc. Will see if I can find it for you.

Found it.have copy and pasted it here for you.
DKSH 09 415 1096. If it is the short handle at the front, you want a 803003 They are around $22 Ref# 98011280. If it's something else, let me know and I can give you the part number. You can get the following spare parts and it is actually handy to order yourself another one or two gaskets.
operating valve handle assembly short handle base base handle auto safety valve chrome auto safety valve gasket Lid gasket for the 80301 and 80305 Duo Lid gasket for 80301, 80302 and 80303 Duo Well insert Instruction manual Recipe book Duo Steamer basket for 80300 Duo Trivet.
Hope this helps.
