Comment by Norma Rubin on July 30, 2012 at 7:27pm: This time I saw my mother in law had an old pressure cooker at her house... that inspired me, but when I was ready to cook... surprise! the gasket was broken! but I had a brand new electric press cooker, I used it! I will use it very often. This brisket was the best I ever ate! Will be my signature dish.

I am sure you will love this useful gadget in your kitchen. Too much better than the slow cooker.

Comment by Norma Rubin on July 30, 2012 at 7:22pm: Sonia, don't be afraid to use this gadget! This is the best brisket I have made and ate. In my country, Bolivia, my mom, tias, sisters, cousins they make a delicious brisket in the oven, for me was always mission impossible, the last Pesach I prepare a 5 pund brisket... OMG! it was terrible, I had to recycle as ropa vieja to serve it!
