Gen 5 Litre Aluminum Pressure Cooker

Pressure cooking is the process
of cooking food, in a sealed vessel known as a pressure cooker. 

Pressure cookers
help to seal all nutrients in the food and save energy by cooking up to 3 times
faster than conventional cooking methods.

Pressure cookers heat food
quickly because the internal steam pressure from the boiling liquid causes saturated
steam to bombard and cook the food. 

Two main things happen with high pressure
steam - the boiling point of the water in the pot raises which in turn cooks
food faster and the pressure raises, forcing liquid into the food.

When liquid and moisture is
forced into the food quickly, not only does it cook the food faster, it also helps
improve the cooking of certain foods, such as making meat, beans and peas very tender.

In conventional cooking, water
boils at 100° at standard pressure and the water evaporates as steam. In a
pressure cooker, the trapped steam causes the internal temperature and pressure
to rise resulting in superheated water. After use, the pressure is slowly
released so that the vessel can be safely opened.
