Agreed.

The bean-counters don't always see things that way.

Or to be able to repair the handle.

I ended up making a Maple Cheesecake and a Chocolate Cheesecake. Both
were well received. The chocolate cheesecake called for sour cream. I
substituted plain (whole milk) Greek yogurt with good results. Ruth
said, "chocolate is better, of course." For the maple, I used
cooking-grade maple syrup which has a stronger taste. Grade A amber
would not have provided enough flavor.

The recipes came from "The Great Big Pressure Cooker Book: 500 Easy
Recipes for Every Machine, Both Stovetop and Electric" by Bruce
Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough. ISBN: 978-0-8041-8532-5 and is also
available as an eBook, ISBN: 978-0-8041-8533-2. The good thing about
this is that they do give instructions for both stovetop and electric
pressure cookers. The recipes I have tried have worked quite well.

I am going to skip the pumpkin cheesecake. There is a "Pumpkin Pie
Pudding" recipe that I may try instead. It is supposed to be like a
pumpkin pie without the crust.
