What is a pressure cooker?
Many retro food trends have become popular again, and pressure cooking is no exception. Pressure cookers look like ordinary pots, except for their lid. These cookers are completely sealed so that steam is trapped within the pot. This raises the boiling point of the liquid inside, allowing the food to cook faster. Pressure cookers are commonly made from aluminum or stainless steel. Advantages of Pressure Cookers Pressure cookers have many benefits to the busy cook. The primary advantage of using a pressure cooker is the speed. Since the food is cooked at a higher temperature, they will be ready faster and with less energy used. It also takes less liquid to cook the food. Soups and stews cook quickly and easily in a pressure cooker. Pressure cookers distribute heat very evenly, so everything will be completely done. Since pressure cookers heat to such a high temperature, they are a good choice for sterilizing items. Popular Pressure Cooker Brands • Kuhn Rikon pressure cookers are a brand
