Factors to Consider When Choosing a Pressure Cooker

The pressure cooker is a relatively practical cooking pot. It has been used for a long time. People prefer to use the pressure cooker to cook soup and porridge. It has the characteristics of energy saving, time saving and durability. Compared with ordinary pots, it has its own advantages. So how to choose a pressure cooker?

Features of pressure cooker

• The most obvious feature of the pressure cooker is that it can be used to heat the food to be cooked to more than 100 ℃. It has a unique high temperature and high pressure function, which greatly shortens the cooking time and saves energy;

• The ordinary aluminum alloy pressure cooker is light in weight, fast in heat transfer and cheap. The service life is generally 8 to 10 years. Generally, pressure cookers are not suitable for induction cookers, but only for open flame gas stoves. When using open flames, avoid large fires, and prevent rapid cooling at the bottom to prevent the stainless steel composite bottom from deforming and falling off.

• The one-time use time of the pressure cooker is generally longer. Although the gas price is not expensive, the cooking time of more than 1 hour is obviously not low-carbon enough.
