What is a foil sling?
A foil sling is made by taking a long piece of foil, app 16 inches, and folding it lengthwise into a sling to place under the bowl for easy lifting in and out of the pressure cooker. If you’re more of a visual person (like me!), check out the image below to see what I’m talking about!
