Let it remain intriguing, and stick with the steamers and crock pots if you don't already have a pressure cooker. You can buy a lot of excellent beef for a stew in a crockpot or fish and shellfish for a Bouillabaisse. I've used pressure cookers for 30 some odd years and they're second nature, especially for vegetables (1-2 minutes cooking time). I like them because they're convenient.
