Pressure Cookers - Why?

In the mid 1900s, PRESSURE COOKERS were a very popular cooking vessels for preparing the family meals. Back in those days, they had to be watched closely as the valve was not as safe as one would have liked it to be. Today they are much safer than they were in the old days. As with all appliances and cooking vessels, the manufacturer provides instructions and care information for their products and must be strictly adhered to, especially for safety.

Cooking, of course, is a major necessity for most families. For many homemakers this can become quite a chore at times. In most families, both the husband and wife work outside the home, and are busy with activities involving their children. Preparing meals quickly can be quite a problem when there is a lack of time. This great cooking tool is here to save the day.

The PRESSURE COOKER, is just one of the many cooking tools, saving you time in the kitchen. There are
many advantages to using a Pressure Cooker that will change the way you look at this old kitchen tool. It has been revived and is extremely popular again.

One of the main advantages of the PRESSURE COOKER is the speed at which it cooks the food. When cooking, the pressure inside causes liquids to boil quicker, at a higher temperature (higher than 212 degrees Fahrenheit). This naturally causes food to cook faster, which lowers cooking time. I am all for anything that is a time saver in the kitchen, when time is crucial. Lets not forget this great advantage: your food will 'NEVER' burn. Many foods will burn when cooked on a grill or placed in a oven, or cooked in oil. Preparing foods in this manner is healthier, being that no oil or fat is needed in the preparation of the meal. Vegetables and other foods can be cooked without fats.

Pressure Cookers also help save on energy. The food cooks faster which results in less usage of Gas and Electric. It will cook a roast with potatoes and carrots in a third of the time it would normally take, thus saving energy. Imagine, preparing your meals in 40-45 minutes, compared to 2-2 1/2 hours in the oven. Now that is the way to cook! My Grandmother and my Mother both cooked quite frequently with their PRESSURE COOKERS. The meats and vegetables were always so tender and juicy, and were enjoyed in a fraction of the usual time.

Get excited about this new way of cooking, with an old kitchen tool. These cookers can be purchased in different sizes such a 4 quart for smaller meals, while a family of 4 or 5 may consider a 5 to 8 quart size or larger. Keep in mind Pressure Cookers work more efficiently when filled 2/3 full. Stainless Steel is one of the most popular metals used for cooking. Change your mind set and rethink the way you cook.
