Pressure in The Kitchen: Reccomended for EVERY cook

Has it ever happened to you that you've been happily cooking away, preparing lunch for the home when suddenly a man from the gas company comes over to check on your gas? By this I'm meaning that he's wanting to cut the gas - all of it. AND you're using a gas stove. He tells you that either he'll wait 15 minutes for you to finish cooking, or you'll have to wait a hour for him to finish his inspection. You dont have a hour to wait. Now, it's amazing what you can get acomplished in 15 minutes... believe me. I know. (the gas man JUST left)
