1912 Midland Metal Spinners was founded by

George Cadman, who was then 65 years old, as a metal holloware manufacturing company, in St. Mark’s Street, Wolverhampton. They later moved into the Tower and Fort Works in Pelham Street, which ultimately gave rise to the famous Tower brand name.

1937 Tower exhibited some of their latest holloware

designs at the British Industries Fair. As you can see from the original poster, their stand No. A410 must have been a great sight as it promoted their “Beautiful, inexpensive, untarnishable Plate, at

prices all can aord to pay”.

1961 Tower became one of the largest

manufacturers of aluminium holloware, electric kettles, tea pots and other household articles with over 1,000 employees.

1974 Russell Hobbs took ownership of the

expanding Tower brand.

Join the pressure cooker revolution

Tower pressure cookers cook foods in about a third of the time, preserve 95 per cent of the vitamins, use almost 90 per cent less fuel and lock in all the

avour. Use your Digital Pressure Cooker with its

non-stick pot to brown, boil, steam, braise, stew

and roast. Perfect for vegetables, meat, fruits, sh

and grains.

Pressure cooking is the process of cooking food, using water or other cooking liquid, in a sealed vessel known as a pressure cooker. Pressure cookers help to seal all nutrients in the food and save energy by cooking up to 3 times faster than conventional cooking methods.

Pressure cookers heat food quickly because the internal steam pressure from the boiling liquid

causes saturated steam (or “wet steam”) to

bombard and cook the food. They quickly simulate

the eects of simmering, braising and other

techniques. Two main things happen with high pressure steam - the boiling point of the water in the pot raises which in turn cooks food faster and the pressure raises, forcing liquid into the food. When liquid and moisture is forced into the food quickly, not only does it cook the food faster, it also helps improve the cooking of certain foods, such as making meat very tender.

In conventional cooking, water boils at 100° at standard pressure and the water evaporates as steam. In a pressure cooker, the trapped steam causes the internal temperature and pressure to rise resulting in superheated water. After use, the pressure is slowly released so that the vessel can be safely opened.

Tips:

• Try placing your veg on the steam rack with the minimum amount of water required. Save the remaining liquid after cooking for stock.

• If your vegetables are still steaming after being removed from your pressure cooker, they’re still cooking! If your recipe calls for vegetables that are al dente, try running cold water over them in the sink to stop the cooking process.

• Cut ingredients into uniform sized pieces for evenly cooked food.

• Use fresh herbs when cooking meat.

Pressure cooking tends to infuse the avour

of all the ingredients you cook together. Put fresh herbs in the pressure cooker whole, including the stems.

• When you cook with dried beans, lentils, rice or other foods that expand and absorb

liquids, don’t ll the pressure cooker more

than half full.
