I ordered a Fagor stainless steel 3-in-1 6-quart multi-cooker from Amazon ($119.95 free shipping) yesterday evening.
I am looking for any good recipes (especially black beans and rice) you can part with.....I am even willing to take a death oath to never pass on a recipe if needed!!! :-X

Ray,
This website has a bunch of recipes for pressure cookers http://missvickie.com/recipes/recipeframe.html
I have this and two other cookbooks by this author -- they have alot of good recipes http://www.amazon.com/Cooking-Under-Pressure-20th-Anniversary/dp/0061707872/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1282038466&sr=8-11
I'll see if I can find a black bean & rice recipe tonight. Beans do great in the pressure cooker.
I'm sure Squirt will be along also - he is the pressure cooker king :)
Deb
Hardly a king of anything.. :D
But I do love my pressure cooker. I'll dig up a couple posts where I used mine.
This is another good cookbook (same author as the one from Deb's link)

And here are a few more, some you can browse online:

Thanks for the titles and recipes. I can't wait for the cooker to be delivered.

Looks like a nice unit Ray. Hey, it says it comes with recipes ;D
good looking unit
And this will be the only time you hear this on the forum...
KEEP THE VENT CLOSED!
:D
Don't have a pressure cooker (they still scare me) but make black beans and rice now and then. I think this came from recipezaar.com and gives a good idea of how much of what to put in. I usually precook dried beans instead of canned, but this is a good starter. I'm guessing it should be easy to convert to pressure cooker instructions:
SERVES 4
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 3/4 cup chopped onion
* 1/3 cup chopped green pepper
* 3 cloves of minced garlic
* 1 (15 ounce) can black beans (undrained)
* 3/4 cup water
* 1 teaspoon oregano
* 1/4 teaspoon sugar
* 1 package sazon goya (without annato *see note)
* 1 tablespoon cooking wine or cider vinegar
* 2 cups cooked white rice
1. Heat oil in a medium sauce pan, sauté onion, green pepper, and garlic.
2. Sauté until tender@8-10 minutes.
3. Add in remaining ingredients and stir until boiling, reduce heat and simmer until sauce is reduced@ 20 minutes.
4. Serve over white rice.
5. I like to mash a few of the beans with the back of a spoon to flavor the sauce.
6. Note: if you do not have Sazòn Goya an appropriate substitute would be 2 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp chicken bouillon, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt
Here is the electric PC we use.

Ray, you did me in. I ordered the unit from overstock.com. I'm a member and so got a few bucks off, cash back and free shipping.
My ancient PC was a PITA on the stove top. I used it for canning. I hope this one is easier to use - plus non-stick.
Fagor 3-1 Cooker came an hour ago. There is a recipe for black bean and confetti rice in the booklet that has some drool on it now!!! ::)
Well made, sturdy unit.
Ray
Glad you're happy. Mine is due on Monday, 8/30. I'm looking forward to some Texas red.
Arnie,
I see happiness is your near future.
Can you believe there is NO bean soup or chili recipe in the booklet???
The two cookbooks I ordered from Borders are due this Thursday.

That's a bummer. I found this chili recipe from Alton Brown online. Looks decent and there's NO beans in it: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/pressure-cooker-chili-recipe/index.html
Let me know how you like your cooker and feel free to plagerize any recipes you like ;D

Ooohh.. Share that one when you get a chance to make it.
Chili without beans? What's that? Meat Soup?? :D

Don't get me wrong. I love beans - on the side.

Are we going to start that one again?
Soup has beans.
My Chili does
not!Meat soup... I like it.
Here is the recipe. I don't know if it will work in an electric rice cooker.
Black Bean Confetti Rice
1 cup long grain white rice
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 scallion, chopped
1/2 cup cooked black beans
1/2 cup frozen corn
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 1/2 cups vegetable stock
1/4 cup packed cilantro leaves, chopped fine
1/2 cup bottled medium salsa
Place rice, peppers, scallions, corn, beans and garlic in the cooker with vegetable stock and set to rice cook.
Once rice cook cycle is complete, release pressure and open the lid.
Add chopped cilantro and salsa, fluff gently with a fork to mix.
Serve hot.

I'm in the chili has no beans camp! I have never figured out what they call "chili" in Cincinnati.
Pressure cookers scare the hell out of ever since my mother had hers blow up, and I do mean blow! It's a very good thing nobody was in the kitchen when it went.
