Pressure cookers
Two to choose between rather than one right answer. Both cook under pressure, and the difference is mostly which other jobs you want the same pot to take on.

Programmable electric pressure cooker
The programmable one, with settings to choose between rather than a single dial to watch.
Pressure cooker, steamer and sterilizer
The one that steams and sterilizes as well as cooking under pressure, so a single pot covers more of the counter.
What comes out of them
Stock from a carcass, beans, and a whole chicken on an afternoon that got away from you. Pressure is what makes the long jobs fit into a weeknight.
