What dish is improved by pressure cooker?
Ok so I've read conflicting arguments on the merit of pressure cooker against others. I'm planning to buy one.
some says it's the same taste/quality but saves time, some says it gives more nuanced taste to some dish because of uniform maillard and the pressure extract more flavor (isn't that just moving one flavor component to others hence the overall flavorfullness is the same?) .
is there any kind of dish that can be improved (or at least more nuanced) with pressure cooker?
stews, soups, chili sauce(sambal), stocks, meat broth etc ?
thanks in advance.
Best Answer
It works well with rice and lentil soups (Indian Daal) where uniformity is desirable. It is inferior than pots for making curries and stews.
It works wonderfully for stocks and it can dramatically reduce the cooking time. Although I have no experience with non veg cooking!

Answer 2
Pressure cooking is primarily a time-saving measure. I have never tasted anything that it actually improved.
Answer 3
In my opinion, the only dish that is better, i.e. tastier, prepared in a pressure cooker are potatoes as used in a southern german potato salad. For this type of salad a low starch, waxy boiling type of potato is used and in my experience, they come out better, i.e. waxier, in a pressure cooker. I haven't done the science, but I think it has to do with the shorter cooking time.
