$400 pots and pans when you can buy a $30 copper plate and use a $20 bullshit cast iron pan and basically produce better results due to the thickness of said copper plate and cast iron.

Wanna make that carbon steel or even cast iron pan like a $300+ copper bottom pan? Get one of these in pic, an actual copper plate and put it under the pan on the burner grate.

Get on my level, I made a bullshit cast iron pan turn into a $250 copper bottom pan!

call me crazy, but I've cooked dry chickpeas in a pressure cooker, soaked them overnight too, no way in hell did I only cook them for 5min, the instructions were no good and why you ended up ass stuck on toilet seat.
<Just looked it up, recommended chickpeas time at 15psi is 10-15min with natural release.

Depends on what type of pressure cooker you have, if its a stockpot type with flames riding up the sides because the flame is too wide, yea probably. If its the type with a sandwich type stainless steel base and some other metal in the middle to disperse the heat well, probably no. It's why I use a large copper plate on the bottom of my pressure cooker stock pot, it's narrow and keeps the flames from riding up the sides. If you're using a bullshit aluminum or singly ply pot, yea, hot spots if it's not a soup with a lot of liquid to disperse heat better.
