Pressure Cooker

What would you bring if you were stuck on an island…

…and could only bring one kitchen appliance?

Using a pressure cooker! hahaha No, I’m not making this up. Modern pressure…

…cookers are quite safe to use, so there’s no need…

….to be concerned about exploding chickens. You’re missing out…

…if you haven’t begun pressure cooking your meals yet!

You’ll understand why. But first, let me define a pressure cooker.

Here’s the main thing…


What Basically Pressure Cooker Is?

Pressure cooking is the method of cooking food…

…in a sealed vessel known as a pressure cooker using high pressure…

…steam and water or a water-based cooking liquid. High pressure prevents…

boiling and allows for cooking temperatures much over 100 °C (212 °F).

Denis Papin, a scientist, created the pressure cooker

…in the seventeenth century. It works by expelling air…

…from the vessel and retaining the steam produced…

…by the boiling liquid within. This increases internal pressures and allows…

….for greater cooking temperatures. This, along with the rapid thermal heat…

…transfer from the steam, cooks food much faster, sometimes…

…in half to a fifth the time required for normal boiling. After cooking…

…the steam pressure is reduced to ambient air pressure…

…allowing the vessel to be securely opened. A pressure cooker

…can cook almost any item that can be cooked in steam…

…or water-based liquids. According to the New York Times Magazine…

…37% of the drop has been ascribed to fear of explosion…

….which is exceedingly unusual with modern pressure cookers

…as well as competition from other rapid cooking technologies,…

…such as the microwave oven. Third-generation pressure cookers

..on the other hand, have various safety features…

…and digital temperature control, do not vent steam while cooking…

…are more efficient and quieter, and these advantages…

…have helped to re-popularize pressure cooking.

I’m a beef freak. I put them in the pressure cooker.”

There’s Pressure All Around Us

Before we get started with pressure cooking, let’s talk about pressure…

…and air in general. All around us is air, which continually pulls…

…downward on us, resulting in an air pressure (at sea level)…

…of around 1 bar. This is typical pressure, and humans…

…couldn’t survive at any higher or lower pressures. The pressure is lower…

…in the highlands, resulting in lower oxygen concentrations. Because…

…of the water, the pressure in the sea is much higher…

…and our bodies would collapse under that pressure. The boiling temperature…

….of water is also determined by the pressure in the air. Water boils….

…at a lower temperature when the pressure is low. Water boils…

….at a greater temperature when the pressure is high. If you’ve ever attempted…

…to boil an egg high in the mountains, you’ll know…

…that you need to cook it for much longer to achieve…

…the same consistency as you would at sea level!


How Is The Pressure Controlled?

The pressure within a pressure cooker can be adjusted…

…in two ways. The first is the quantity of heat you apply. Keep in mind…

…that the pressure cooker is a sealed vessel. Water is unable…

…to escape. If you continue to heat the vessel, the water…

…will get warmer and warmer. Once it begins to boil…

…and if the water vapour cannot escape, it will begin…

…to build up pressure. There will be no pressure buildup…

…if the pressure cooker is not heated. On the other hand..

…the pressure may not be excessive. This can be accomplished…

….simply halting the heating process, but it can also be accomplished…

…by releasing part of the water vapour. If the pressure…

….within the cooker grows too high, a valve…

…will always release part of the vapour. Different designs…

…employ various methods, but the fundamental principle…

…is quite similar! We have a story from Julia about his experience…

…with a pressure cooker.

Let us hear Julia’s story

One day I found some struggling when I cook for dinner, with lack of equipment…

sometimes I got no idea what to cook for. That’s so frustrating…

but it all changed when my husband tell me about his experience…

working abroad, he had access to a kitchen where they used a pressure cooker.

He told me how much fun it was to use because there were so many things…

you could do with it. It made him want to buy one himself. So after years of waiting…

….I finally got myself a new model. Pressure cookers really can save…

my time and money, helping you prepare delicious meals that retain…

nutritional values often lost in other cooking methods Now I love using mine every day. 

You can cook nearly everything in a pressure cooker…

…from meats and major meals to rice, potatoes, and other veggies..

…as well as dessert. Even better, pressure cooking allows you…

…to make foods up to 70% faster than standard cooking methods…

…saving you both energy and time. So, what are you waiting for?

Grab a pressure cooker, and don’t worry, we’ve put up a list…

….of the best pressure cookers to help you choose! Here is a list…

…of reasons why you should own a pressure cooker.

7 Reasons Why You Need a Pressure Cooker

Cook Faster! Save you tons of time

Who wants to spend hours cooking after a hard day at work?

Not for me! Cooking time can be reduced by up to two-thirds…

…using a pressure cooker. They should be dubbed “quick cookers”…

…if you reside in a high-altitude area and aren’t already…

….pressure cooking, start now. It’s going to save your life. For example,…

…cooking dry beans in the pressure cooker takes less than an hour…

…compared to overnight soak + 2 to 3 hours on the stove. Slow cookers…

…take 4 to 8 hours to create goat stew, while our pressure cooker…

…only required 30 to 40 minutes. Baby back ribs that fall off the bone?

It took little under 25 minutes. YES, YES, YES, YES, YES!

Save Energy & Money

Food cooks in around a third of the time it normally takes…

…so you use less fuel. If you prefer cheaper cuts of meat…

…to faster-cooking (and more expensive) cuts, your pressure cooker…

…can help by stewing or braising in roughly the same time…

…it takes to roast or pan-fry. Pressure cookers are great…

…for preparing inexpensive items from scratch, such as dry beans…

…and pulses, rather than using prepared or canned variations.

Eat Healthier

Was it ever one of your New Year’s resolutions to eat healthier?

It was all ours. That is why we are using pressure cooking. It’s never too late…

…to begin today. It’s a common misconception that the high heat…

…used in pressure cooking destroys vitamins and minerals. We’re not food experts…

…but scientific study shows that pressure cooking…

…retains more nutrient value than boiling and steaming. Not only…

…does it save cooking time, but it also prevents nutrients..

…from leaving through the steam.


Eat Better and Enjoy More Flavors

In your mouth, melt Brisket of beef More delectable food?!

We’re done now. I’m all in. Caramelization and browning…

….of the food are aided by the extra high heat employed…

…in pressure cooking. This brings out the depth and complexity…

….of the food’s tastes while also producing a delightfully rich broth. This is not…

…your typical steamed fare. Yum! One of the reasons…

…we love our pressure cookers is that they allow us…

…to easily cook juicy, fall-off-the-bone meat…

…in a short amount of time. Yes, it is effective on inexpensive, tough pieces of beef!
