A pressure cooker is a real all-rounder. It com-
bines saving time and energy with versatility
and protects the goodness of the ingredients.
But how precisely does it do this?
The pressure cooking principle is both easy and
great: The pot is closed with a special lid and
heated up on the hob together with its con-
tents. The water inside starts to vaporise. Since
the water steam cannot escape, the pressure
increases inside the pot. The following applies
to water and most other substances: The higher
the pressure, the higher the boiling point.
Therefore, the temperature of the water in the
pot heats up to higher than the usual boiling
point of 100 degrees. The maximum pressure
at which this kind of pressure cooker operates
is around 1.8 times higher than normal air
pressure, the boiling point of the water reaches
up to 117 degrees. The food cooks quicker as a
result of these higher temperatures. This saves
time and money – and all the ingredients are
cooked very gently.
The special lid on the pressure cooker has a
rubber ring seal as well as a safety and control
valve. This means that the pressure in the pot
can be easily checked and balanced.
There is a separate perforated insert available
for many pots. Meat and fish, for example, can
be cooked in the insert – products that should
not come into direct contact with the water.
