A Beginner’s Guide to
Pressure Cooking
Pressure cookers are back in the forefront again. These time savers are wonderful for cooking succulent roasts, flavoursome casseroles, delicious soups and even desserts in a fraction of the time and energy they take by conventional methods.
Pressure Cooking is a method of cooking food in a small amount of liquid with a gasket sealed lid that retains steam inside and builds pressure. It is the increase in pressure that raises temperature of the liquid and steam inside to well above boiling point and therefore allows food to be cooked up to 70% faster.
This means less energy is consumed and you will enjoy substantial savings in both time and cost. Because pressure cooked foods require very little cooking liquid, more vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are retained and the natural flavours are enhanced.
How to Pressure Cook
1.Place removable cooking bowl into stainless steel base.
2.Attach clean silicone rubber gasket securely into gasket holder using the indicated arrows as a guide. Ensure that the arrows are facing up when inserting into the lid.
