Pressure Cookers 

Using a pressure cooker is a wonderful technique to prepare meals quickly and conserve energy. The food cooks quickly when the holding pressure mechanism is in operation. There are various sizes available, including 2L, 3L, 5L, etc. You can make a decision based on your needs. Aluminium, stainless steel, hard anodised metal, non-stick aluminium, and other materials are available in cooking appliances.

How Do Pressure Cookers Work?

A sealed pot called a pressure cooker produces steam pressure by heating water. The pressure cooker maintains the steam it produces inside the pot, but it also has a vent tube that allows extra steam to escape. So that food can be cooked rapidly, pressure cookers automatically maintain a constant internal pressure.

Advantages Of Pressure Cooking 

• 1. Cooks food Faster - A pressure cooker can complete the cooking process about 30% faster than the conventional cooking method. 
• 2. Saves Energy - Because of shortened cooking time pressure, cooking takes less energy to cook a complete meal. A pressure cooker can save energy use by up to 75% when compared to conventional cooking techniques.
• 3. Retains Nutrients - Food cooked in a pressure cooker maintains more vitamins and minerals compared to boiled food that tastes better.

Health Benefits Of Using Pressure Cooker 

• 1. Provides Superior Nutrient Retention - According to Reachers, there has been a significant drop in nutrients in our diet for a number of reasons. You don't obtain the nutrients your body needs when you cook food incorrectly since it further destroys the nutrients. Cooking time can be drastically decreased with a pressure cooker. The less important nutrients will therefore drain. Not only would using a pressure cooker increase the number of nutrients, but it will also decrease substances that are bad for your health.
• 2. Helps To Reduce Health Harming Compounds - The food in a pressure cooker stays moist because steam is produced under pressure. Acrylamide and heterocyclic amines are two other dangerous substances that the steam destroys. It is frequently created via other high-heat cooking techniques.
• 3. Pressure Cooking Helps Boost Digestibility - Boosting the digestibility of the food is key to maximising the potential nutritional value of every bite. With the help of the pressure cooker, you may accomplish this. Even the most difficult substances can become sensitive when steam and pressure are combined. Furthermore, softness indicates that the food is simple for your body to digest.
• 4. Kills Harmful Bacteria -When food is prepared in a pressure cooker, all potentially hazardous bacteria are eliminated, so you can be sure the finished product is both incredibly healthy and bacterium-free.
