Should You Buy This Product?
It’s important to understand how a pressure cooker works. Similar to a microwave, pressure cookers use the heat of steam to cook. Unlike a microwave, they do not use atomic energy!
Instead, a pressure cooker traps superheated steam using a technology called flavor infusion. This forces moisture into the food being cooked and locks in the flavor and the nutrients.
This method has the potential to work well with all kinds of foods including meats, poultry, fish and veggies.
It also cooks one pot dishes such as stew, beans and rice.
