Question from Page

Some years ago, thanks to Debra’s info, in order to avoid toxic metal,  I purchased Xtrema ceramic cookware —& have been very pleased. But now am needing to cook faster (especially  brown rice and legumes) and am wondering if you could guide me as to the possibility of a pressure cooker which would be acceptable.
Or if not, could you guide me how to cook brown rice, etc a little faster than the Xtrema can do. Please advise.

I am not aware of a pressure cooker that is not stainless steel.  I use one for cooking rice and am not concerned about leaching since I only use it every now and then and for a short duration.  This may not work for someone who has a nickel sensitivity.  See more on stainless steel here.
