COOKING USING PRESSURE COOKER

Delectable Delicacies to Relish

Pressure cookers are designed to make short work of slow cook dishes. They’re economical both in the amount of power they use and are also ideal for tenderizing cheaper cuts of meat. They can reduce cooking times by up to 50% and retain nutrients well, making them a healthy cooking method. A pressure cooker is an airtight cooking device that cooks food quickly, thanks to the steam pressure that builds up inside.

The steam makes the food moist, which is why this device is perfect for meat stews, cheesecakes, and much more. Slow cookers are much better for cooking root vegetables and tough cuts of meat because the long, low-temperature cooking process is great for adding moisture and breaking down fat. It is not recommended that you cook leaner meats in a slow cooker, but they can be prepared with no problem in a pressure cooker.

A pressure cooker cooks food about 30 percent faster than conventional methods like steaming, boiling, and braising. According to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, pressure cookers also use 50 to 75 percent less energy due to shorter cooking times. A 2009 study found pressure cooking and boiling saw the greatest nutrient losses, compared to griddling, baking, or microwaving vegetables. A 2010 study found pressure cooking was better than boiling for nutrient retention, improving digestibility, and reducing anti-nutrient compounds.

The pressure cooker works by turning liquid into steam and cooking food in a sealed pot. The food doesn’t cook by boiling; instead, it cooks with superheated (almost 250ºF) steam. Because the food cooks faster and very little moisture escapes, the flavors are richer and more developed.

What is the difference between Air Fryer and Pressure Cooker?

While both use high temperatures in the cooking process, a pressure cooker’s key method of cooking is high pressure. An air fryer actively reduces the pressure during cooking and relies on hot air circulation to cook foods. While both use some added liquid to help cook, they use different kinds and amounts.
