Presto 01341 4-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker

Description

The smart choice for healthy, favorful meals, fast and
easy. Cooks 3 to 10 times faster than ordinary cooking methods – even faster
than a microwave for many foods. Chicken, fish, meat and vegetables cook to
perfection fast. Helps tenderize economical cuts of meat. Works on regular and
smooth-top ranges. Cover lock indicator shows when there is pressure inside
the cooker and prevents the cover from being removed until pressure is safely
reduced. Includes a special rack for cooking several foods at once with no
intermingling of flavors. Dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. Liquid capacity:
4 quarts. Do not use this pressure cooker for pressure frying with oil (3.8
liters). 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 4-quart stainless steel
pressure cooker is a multi-purpose pot that can stand in as a conventional
saucepan as well as perform the kitchen magic that pressure cookers are famous
for. Chicken Cacciatore cooks in 8 minutes! This professional-quality
stainless steel pressure cooker is a handy 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 stainless steel pressure cooker, though
occasional use of a fine metal polish will help the exterior keep its shine.
The Presto 4-quart 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 (16-1/2 inches
including handles) and 6-1/2 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
