I have a pressure cooker that I love for (mostly) the same reasons except it is a lot faster and you can brown stuff right in there so less to clean, it's an electric Cuisinart - I had the Fagor but broke the valve deal and upgraded to the Cuisinart and use it so often for everything from beans in 30 minutes (from the time it heats up- and this is dry beans) to the brisket we made the other night in less than an hour. We did a side by side with an Italian beef roast just to see, and the friends and family all preferred the one in the pressure cooker in a blind test. Some purists say that the stove ones are better, but since I was in the room when my mom blew one up, I just can't get myself there yet. Maybe someday.
I've thought of getting a pressure cooker but your story about your Mom blowing one up is what keeps me from getting one. My Mom blew up one too......food all over the kitchen and the top of it bouncing around the room. But if you say the Cuisinart is safer I might consider one of those.
Years ago we went to a cooking demonstration where a guy was selling pressure cookers and waterless cookers. The food was really good and cooked fast.
