Someone may have mentioned this way back, but pressure cookers are seldom used these days. I know they still make them, but I haven't seen one used in probably forty years.
When I was a little kid, we used to have these big family dinners (actually, lunches) at my great aunt's house on Saturday's in the spring and fall when all the men were working in the fields. The women would make homemade noodles and lay them out on newspapers on the dining room table to dry. There was always a piece of beef or a chicken (which had been running around the barnyard a couple of hours earlier) cooking in the pressure cooker and they would cook the noodles in the broth after the beef or chicken was done. The pies were usually made the day before.
There were always ten or twelve kids around and we'd get shooed out of the house so we'd be out of the women's way while they got dinner ready. The men would come in from the fields just in time to wash up and sit down for dinner at noon. Those were the best days of my life.
