Two cooking challenges that the Seders represent: 1) the widespread
minhag (custom) not to eat roasted meat or poultry on Seder night and 2) not being able to prepare for the second Seder until an hour after sundown on the second night. The first challenge requires most people to get creative for their Seder menu selections and the second one forces most people to cook in advance, so on second Seder night, you are just re-heating your meal to get it ready in time.
I have several friends who overcome both of these challenges with a pressure cooker. My friend Minna says she can cook a 5 lb. brisket in under 40 minutes, and the meat is tender, moist and incredibly delicious. So for second seder night, she just puts in the roast when they drink the first cup for Kadesh, and by the time they are up to Shulchan Aruch, the meat is perfectly cooked. No advance cooking necessary. She also makes chicken in the pressure cooker and apparently it comes out so tender, the meat practically falls off the bone.
I've been tempted to buy a pressure cooker for Pesach but I tend to be fairly incompetent in the kitchen and I've always been afraid that if I use a pressure cooker, I'll blow up my house.
Amazon has got this 6 quart stainless steel Presto pressure cooker for $45.99 with free shipping. It got 4.5 out of 5 stars over 1,467 customer reviews. I read many of the reviews, and apparently, you don't need to be Julia Child to use it efficiently, and it has a failsafe lock that prevents you from opening it before the pressure vents out. It's stainless with a tri-clad flat bottom, so it cooks on all cooking surfaces, including induction stoves. I think I just might need to dive in on this one this year.
