I just bought my first pressure cooker last night- a Kuhn-Rikon 7qt- and I'm so excited to take it for a spin. I've never used one before (other than a giant 60's-era pressure canner for putting food by). What are you making for the cold weather in yours?

Green chile pork stew, inspired by this forum. Browned pork pieces, added roasted/peeled/seeded poblano peppers and chopped garlic, then chicken stock (less than if I'd been making the stew in a regular stovetop simmer) and put in the pressure cooker for about 40 minutes. Num! We're using it mainly as a sauce for rice and bean burritos, though I also had some in which I cooked diced potatoes.
It's less stressful for a first outing with the pressure cooker to cook something where precision in the timing isn't a big deal -- stock, stew, etc. Congratulations on a purchase that will make you very happy and save a lot of energy and time -- nonrenewable resources.

yesterday I did the bolognese sauce all day in the crocker.
it was the filling for the ravioli I made.
so good, smelled wonderful in the house all day.
today, the chili con carne is in there. I got an early start.
defrosting 3 boneless pork chops to slip in there for flavor and
to give my husband a treat when I dish him up tonight.
gosh dried beans have gone sky high, is there a shortage?

You've made an excellent purchase!
It's actually been fairly warm in my neck of the woods this week, but I've made goulash using chicken thighs instead of red meat (from a Lorna Sass cookbook) and lentil stew with sausage and kale (improvised). I also have a large bunch of collard greens waiting to be pressure-cooked with garlic, red onion, and a dash of hot pepper. Great in any weather.
