The holidays are a time of tradition, but one tradition we can all do without is that of spending hours chained to the stove preparing everyone's favorite - Thanksgiving or Christmas Dinner.

Many of the dishes can be prepared ahead and simply reheated. Watch for the Timesaving "Pressure-less" Holiday Tips" in each recipe. Without exception, cooking times are reduced by more than half. In addition, pressure cooking retains flavors, colors and nutrients normally lost or boiled away by traditional cooking methods.

All recipes use the Duromatic pressure cooker. Check recipe for size. We have included two alternatives for cooking your turkey. You can cook a whole turkey in our 12-qt. Family Style Stockpot or our delicious Breast of Turkey with Fruit Scented Gravy in a 7-qt. or larger pressure cooker.

These Holiday Recipes are designed to save you time and energy, liberating you from the kitchen to spend your time setting a perfect table, arranging flowers, or sharing the company of your family and friends. Above all, the holidays should be a time to enjoy yourself. You deserve it!
