During these times that we need to be wary of our spending as prices of commodities are constantly going up, having a pressure cooker can help us keep power costs from soaring. For those who have bad memories with pressure cookers, this cooking device has also evolved in time, just like other technologies. This is because you may still have some apprehension about buying this essential kitchen device.

The new brands of pressure cookers produce less sounds, unlike before, where the screeching sound can frighten a young kid. The locking mechanism and temperature control are also improved to prevent an explosion that can leave your whole ceiling all splattered with mess. With these innovations upgrading the safety net of pressure cookers, there should be no reason you will not have this amazing cooking device in your kitchen.

With a pressure cooker, you can prepare delicious meals. Here are some of the benefits of pressure cooking some of our meals.

Nutrients Retention

With the enclosed pot during the whole duration of cooking, most nutrients are retained on the food. Other cooking methods, such as boiling and frying, lose much of the food’s nutrients through the constant opening of the cover and stirring while cooking. With a pressure cooker, cooking time is made shorter. This will ensure that the taste and color of ingredients are intact.

Faster Cooking Time

Imagine boiling bones to get the desired broth taste. It may take you hours to soften the connective tissues around joints, which are natural sources of collagen. Not using a pressure cooker will definitely come short of a delicious broth and the scraping of all collagen-rich tissues may not be possible

Beans may also be more delicious when pressure cooking them. You will not come up with a milky savory texture if you use other cooking methods.

Saves Energy

Without a pressure cooker, you may have to cook any beans for more than an hour before they are rightly cooked. But before that, you must have to soak the beans overnight. With a pressure cooker, overnight soaking is done away with, and you can have a savory meal within 5-15 minutes, depending on the type of beans. That is a lot of savings if you love beans and soft boiled meat.

Kitchen Is Cleaner and Cooler

With less time cooking, the kitchen can be spared of the heat coming from the burner. Cooking using other cooking methods means that the stove is turned for a longer time. You will also not be complaining about the stove and adjacent areas being dirty from splattered oil and water.
