Favorite Pressure Cooker Uses/Recipes

Just got a standalone, electric pressure cooker and am looking for some inspiration.  Have made stock (good), black beans (awesome!), and a whole chicken (very unhappy with results).  

 

What are your favorite recipes/uses for your pressure cooker?

I use mine for stock mostly.  Usually chicken  backs carcasses after removing the other parts.  Just made corn stock the other day from a big bag of cobs.  Amazing how sweet it was.   Will use a PC for chickpeas when making hummus but with other beans like black beans I like to cook traditionally to infuse more flavor in them

I don't have an electric pressure cooker but with my stove top Fisslers the most common tasks are dried beans in canning jars, potatoes, artichokes -- and of course thirty second green beans.

The pressure cooker is also great for rendering lard by the Modernist Cuisine technique.

Thank you @JoNorvelleWalker for 30 second green beans.  These are amazing.  I do them now this way all the time hovering over my IP until my timer goes off and I can immediately release the pressure.  I then throw then into a hot frying pan with some butter, salt, pepper, a pinch of sugar and a bit of freshly ground nutmeg, toss with tongs until butter is melted and serve.  Thus takes maybe 5 seconds and because It's so quick, the beans do not cook further.
