Why Use a Pressure Cooker?

This handy cookbook will illustrate how to get the most out of your Electric Pressure Cooker.

Pressure cooking has many advantages over other cooking methods:

Quick Prep Time

Pressure cookers use pressure to cook food at a higher temperature than what can be achieved with conventional stovetop boiling, allowing food to be cooked very quickly. In fact, pressure cooking is about twice as fast (sometimes even faster!) as conventional cooking.

More Nutritious Food

The problem with cooking food using conventional methods like frying or boiling is that vital nutrients tend to be lost during

preparation. Pressure cooking, however, is one of the healthiest cooking methods because

it preserves 90-95% of vitamins contained in food, according to a study published in the Journal of Food Science. The increased

speed and heat produced by pressure cooking essentiallyflash-cooksvegetables,retaining more vitamins than boiling (40-75% vitamin retention rate) or even steaming (75-90% retention rate).

Eco-friendlyEfficiency

Pressure cookers require less energy to operate during the cooking process than other cooking methods. Because pressure cookers need less heat and time than cooking methods like stovetop boiling, you can enjoy a whopping 70% energy savings!

EffortlessCooking

Usingapressurecookercouldn’tbeeasier— add your ingredients and liquid, select a cooking program, and release the pressure once it’s done cooking. Best of all, you don’t have to hover over it while your gourmet food is being prepared, so you’ll have more free time to relax after long, stressful days.

Less Mess, Less Stress

Sully your pristine countertops with messy oil dropletsnomore—pressurecookerscontain all of the splatters that you’d normally accrue from conventionally boiling or frying food.

Safe Operation

Pressure cookers employ a comprehensive network of safety systems designed to prevent user injuries or product damage. One such safeguard that the Cosori Electric Pressure

Give it Time to Build up Pressure

Recipe cooking times for pressure cookers do tend to be conveniently short. But before you shut the lid and immediately start counting down the minutes that the recipe dictates, pleasefirstletthepressurecookerbuild

up the right pressure and give out a beep (approximately 7-10 minutes). Thus, for your planning, include enough time for not only the prep and the cooking time listed in the recipe, but an additional 7-10 minutes for the cooker to get its momentum going.
