Pressure Cookers

Electric Pressure Cookers

Spend less time cooking dinner and more time enjoying it with the help of an electric pressure cooker. These powerful appliances cook food faster than traditional methods using pressure to raise the boiling point of water for higher cooking temperatures. This makes pressure cookers ideal for tenderizing tough cuts of meat or quickly cooking beans from scratch. While electric pressure cookers are a relatively new invention, they offer all the same benefits of stovetop pressure cookers. What's more, plug-in programmable pressure cookers require less supervision than their older counterparts, so you can take care of other kitchen tasks in the meantime. A digital pressure cooker with timer makes it even easier to quickly check on your food while chopping, rinsing and simmering other dishes. Because you'll mostly likely leave the appliance on the countertop while it cooks and cools down, be sure to choose one that complements the style of your kitchen. Stainless steel pressure cookers are a popular choice for many home cooks because they are durable and easy to clean, while sleek black pressure cookers go well with a variety of looks. Also be sure to select the right size electric pressure cooker for your needs. A small pressure cooker fits just enough to feed two, while a large pressure cooker with an 8-quart capacity has enough room in the pot to feed a crowd for game days or potlucks. Once the food is ready, transfer your meal from the electric pressure cooker to a low serving bowl for a polished presentation. Be sure to explore models from top brands such as Instant Pot pressure cookers and Breville models.
