How it Works:
A pressure cooker traps steam, increasing the pressure inside.
This higher pressure raises the boiling point of water, allowing food to cook at higher temperatures (over 100°C).
The increased temperature shortens cooking times and extracts flavor efficiently.
Benefits of Using a Pressure Cooker:
Faster Cooking: Significantly reduces cooking time compared to conventional methods.
Nutrient Retention: Helps food retain more nutrients and vitamins.
Energy Saving: Saves energy due to shorter cooking times.
Versatile: Can cook various foods, including beans, meats, and sauces.
Flavorful Meals: Extracts flavors efficiently, resulting in tastier dishes.
Things to Avoid Cooking:
Dairy: Can curdle or separate under high pressure.
Fried Foods: Not suitable for pressure cooking.
