Twenty years ago we had an aluminum pressure cooker on board but it didn 't like the salty atmosphere and we abandoned it to corrosion.

We got converted back to these miraculous devices when we used a stainless steel one on an extended cruise down the Antarctic Peninsula.

For the long distance cruiser gas is a very precious commodity and a pressure cooker is a very economical way to cook and cook quickly. Since then we have been using them extensively though they remain deeply unfashionable ashore.

I wondered how many others carry and use a pressure cooker in their galley?

We carry a 1960 's aluminium model still going strong. I suppose as a former chemical engineer I always treat pressure vessels with some respect. It has never been pressure tested but it does have a pressure relief valve!
