Toby T. Hill – Under Pressure

The holidays can be stressful – there’s always something to buy, cook, decorate – it can feel like the pressure is just too much. Luckily, for all the harried cookers out there Toby T. Hill of Hyannis’ Pain D’Avignon knows how to use all that pressure to his (and subsequently, your) advantage. This season, he’s hoping to get a Fissler Blue Point Pressure Cooker which will allow him to create all those succulent holiday stews and braises in half the time. This handy appliance, which sells for between $230-270 from outlets like Sur la Table, could make the perfect gift for the over-extended cook in your life because after all, when it comes to being under pressure, better our food than us.
