The recipe book with it is limited and since I am unfamiliar with this technique, I am wondering if anyone familiar with these pots has advice on how to convert high pressure or regular recipes to cook successfully without trial and error.
I did make a quick chile con carne in less than half an hour the other day & was quite pleased, but I had the timing frame based on the cookbook. I will run through these recipes very fast.

My rule of thumb was to only use the pressure cooker for things that require long cooking or it isn't worth the trouble and to convert the cooking time by a factor of 3. So simmer for 1 1/2 hours at normal pressure would be pressure cook for 1/2 an hour. I am not sure if all domestic pressure cookers cook at the same pressure, if they don't this rule could alter quite a bit.
