About Pressure Cooking
Pressure cooking is an ideal way to make fast, tasty meals for your family! This
method of cooking makes it easy for even the busiest cooks to prepare meals from
scratch. Use your pressure cooker for fish, chicken, fresh vegetables, rice, legumes,
and even dessert -- and everything can be cooked to perfection in minutes.
The pressure cooker will save you time, energy and money, as well as valuable
nutrients. Boiling liquid inside the tightly sealed pot produces steam, which is
trapped inside to create pressure. The very hot temperature produced reduces
cooking time. The steam helps break down the fibers of whatever you’re cooking
and infuse the food with flavors. This also captures all of the water-soluble nutrients,
making the food higher in flavor and more nutritious than with conventional
cooking methods.
