Delivery was prompt and I was even able to get the users manual for it here, too, if I recall correctly.

Glad this experience was a better one for you. I bet C. is enjoying all this experimentation you're doing. :hi:

Speaking of garlicky flavor and pressure cooking, I have a memory from long ago of my maternal grandmother taking a beef roast (not sure what cut, I was about 13-14 at the time and not into cooking yet) she cut small slits all over it and stuffed each one with a small clove of garlic. She then browned it in a cast iron skillet in melted suet before putting it in the pressure cooker (not sure of the other seasonings she used, salt and pepper no doubt at least.) That was the best roast I have eaten in my life, either before or since. I can still almost taste it more than 30 years later.
