How long should it take for an electric pressure cooker to come to pressure?

Question by Heather: How long should it take for an electric pressure cooker to come to pressure?
We recently bought a Wolfgang Puck electric pressure cooker from HSN. It take about 30 minutes to come to pressure and begin cooking anything. Is this normal?

I have always had a pressure cooker and the answer to ypur question is yes it it normal, It depends how much food & liquid is in it, as an example, if you have a cup of liquid and half of the cooker with food it might get up to pressure in about 15 min,when I make stuffed cabbage full to the top with 4 cups of liquid it takes 30 min to heat up the mass in the pot,remember that the inside has to get to boiling before it can reach pressure. (remember not to block the vent hole in the center of the cap.)
