How the Pressure Cooker works:

The operation of the pressure cooker is quite simple: it is equipped with an airtight lid that allows to reduce the escape of air and steam, thus reducing cooking times. Food cooks thanks to the steam inside the pot, which is why less water is required to cook the dishes than traditional cooking.

The “traditional” pressure cookers are made of stainless steel, one of the most resistant materials. On the hermetic lid there are two valves that regulate the pressure inside: a cooking valve and a safety valve. The cooking valve is the one that automatically rises in case of excessive pressure, emitting the typical whistle: the release of water vapor causes an immediate decrease in internal pressure. The safety valve, on the other hand, blocks the lid until the internal pressure has dropped and prevents the pot from being opened.

There are also electric pressure cookers that are not powered by the flame on the gas but are connected to the power supply and have a display. The advantage of these pans are the various cooking methods (pressure cooking, slow cooking, rice cooker, steam cooking, heat retention, sauce and soup), the various programs and accessories that make them perfect to be used as real and own slow cookers.

In the large category of pressure cookers, those for microwaves should also be mentioned. In this case the operating principle is the same (and there are both the safety valve and the pressure valve), what changes is the material (plastic or polypropylene) as it must be a material suitable for microwaves and consequently transparent. to the waves.

How to use the traditional pressure cooker:

Put the ingredients in the pot, close with the lid, put on the gas over a high flame, bring to a boil and then lower to low. The liquid inside the pot will heat up to a temperature of about 110/120 ° C and the steam produced by boiling will allow cooking. Before opening the pot (both if cooking is complete and if you want to check the cooking point) it is always necessary to wait for the pot and contents to return to normal pressure: this is done by letting the pot rest for a few minutes or by lifting the valve manually.

What types of cooking can be done?
