It'll be none of my business as long as you don't blame your sudden death on innocent people.

But i doubt if that will ever happen, considering the levels of ignorance and superstitious beliefs that operate amongst you

There are two types you will find out there. The one from the male cow is usually the soft one cos male cows are usually not reared for long they're easily replaced.
The one from the female cows are tougher because they are used to breed so are kept longer. By the time they're slaughtered it's in their old age that makes the skin tough.

Please there is no such thing as a male cow.
You have a bull (male)
Cow (female).

It's the perfect solution - no alum, potash, or any such weird recommendations. Just stick them in the pot and time it. Cuts the time by half or 3/5, thereby saving gas/fuel.

There are not-so-expensive aluminium types in the market, so a salary earner could save for it, knowing it'd save them gas money in the long run.

Trust me, majority of the pressure cookers will fail you btw 1-9 months. Why?
Flaws in design.
Talking from experience, I have bought the one with 2 bar arms that lock in place, while my aunt bought the popular England- style design. All broke down.

Why they didn't design a butterfly bolt with it is what I don't know, as it would have helped the locking process.

I heard this is a common problem. I've never bought an aluminuim one though. For the the stainless steel ones I've owned, I'm on my second one, bought 3 years ago. The first one lasted about four years – and I was really pissed since I had thought the darn thing would last like a fridge. Another factor may be use. I only use mine for cowleg, beans and the occasional shaki.

Considering the cost of gas and electricity these days, I think it's a good investment if one finds a good one.

Add some quantity of beans when cooking it, it would soften it.

I actually had a niggling feeling to write bull, but was just being silly....

Sir, if you follow my response it means you should try to find the one that doesn't need extreme measure to soften it. Before my response lots of guys proffered solutions so I thought maybe I should inform us as differently.
