According the the CEDIK Edmonson County Workforce Profile report of employed Edmonson County residents, 80% are out-commuters, leaving Edmonson County. This leaves many families looking for meal options that can quickly be prepared. The electric programmable pressure cooker has become popular nationwide due to its ability to quickly prepare meals. However, many people feel nervous using this new device since pressure is used.
The Edmonson County FCS Agent presented a program on the electric programmable pressure cooker in January 2018. Participants received information on safety features, how to properly use the device, and how to convert recipes. In addition, demonstrations with two different brands were part of the program. Recipes were prepared and sampled during the program. After the program, participants received an evaluation. As a result of the program, 100% of the participants understood the safety features used on today’s pressure cookers after the program and 78% of said they were more likely to use an electric pressure cooker that they already owned.
One participated reported back that she used her electric pressure cooker at least four times a week, instead of ordering fast food, because of the program.
