Overfilling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and developing excess
pressure Pressure cookers have experienced renewed popularity over
the last several years because cooks have rediscovered what some cooks
(particularly grandmas) have known for a long time–they’re really fast. And
it’s easy to cook healthfully with pressure cookers, since the food retains so
much more of its nutrients and flavor. Presto’s 6-quart aluminum pressure
cooker is a multi-purpose pot that can stand in as a conventional soup pot as
well as perform the kitchen magic that pressure cookers are famous for.
Chicken Cacciatore cooks in 8 minutes! This durable, polished-aluminum
pressure cooker is an economical addition to any well-rounded set of kitchen
tools. The heavy-duty lid locks down during cooking; an inner sealing ring
keeps the steam in. In addition to a pop-up pressure indicator and a simple
steam release mechanism, there is an overpressure plug that will let off steam
if it builds up excessively. This pressure cooker is useful for weeknight
dinners or for any meal that needs to come together quickly. An accompanying
booklet contains more than 65 recipes, ranging from basic soup stocks to stews
and pot roasts–even desserts like 5-minute custards! Tenderize lean cuts of
beef or pork; or cook chicken, fish, or vegetables faster than you can in a
microwave, and without losing moisture. Nonabrasive cleansers are best for
cleaning this polished aluminum pressure cooker, though occasional use of a
fine metal polish will help the exterior keep its shine. The Presto 6-quart
aluminum pressure cooker is fully immersible; in addition, the sealing ring
should be removed after each use to allow cleaning of the inside rim of the
lid. The vent pipe is simple to keep clean with a small brush or pipe cleaner,
and both the air vent/cover lock and the overpressure plug are removable. The
pressure cooker measures 9 inches in diameter (17 inches including handles)
and 8-1/2 inches tall (including lid). Presto guarantees this pressure cooker
with an extended 12-year warranty. A detailed instruction and recipe booklet
is included; special safety issues that pertain to pressure cookers are
clearly explained. –Garland Withers
