On using pressure cookers...
|
| |
Many moons ago, someone here told me to always wet the seal on the pressure cooker prior to starting as I was sometimes having minor issues with getting a proper seal. I do that all the time now and it has worked like a charm. :-) I don't remember who it was, but I just wanted to say "Thank you"!

Has anyone made no-knead rye bread?
