If you’re still not impressed with the features of this pressure cooker, then maybe the benefits of a pressure cooker, be it this one or any other pressure cooker, will.
Here are five great reasons to have a pressure cooker in your kitchen:
1 Cut cooking time in half!
Beef recipes have a requirement that are applied to almost every dish: tenderize the meat. This can take hours but with a pressure cooker, the cooking time is cut in half! You tenderize the beef faster because of the sheer pressure inside the pot so you can proceed with the recipe earlier.
2 Lower your gas or electric consumption.
Since you cut your cooking time while using a pressure cooker, you don’t use up more gas or electricity than you need. During these times when even onions can be more expensive than a cut of beef, any little bit of savings can make a difference.
3 Tenderizes the toughest, cheapest cut of meat.
Any cut of meat can be cooked until it’s fork tender, no matter what the cut. This means that the cheapest cut of meat, which ironically can also mean it’s one of the most flavorful cuts, can become buttery soft faster if you use a pressure cooker like this one.
4 Your stew will still be tasty.
Slow cooking for hours makes delicious stew but so can a stew cooked in a pressure cooker! While you may need to reduce the liquid left in the pot after pressure cooking, it can easily be done in minutes rather than hours.
5 You save time for you.
If anything, the pressure cooker will help you gain back lost time that otherwise would be taken up babysitting a simmering pot. That means you can head out earlier or stay out longer, and still have enough time to cook a delicious and tender beef dish that might have otherwise taken you hours to cook and kept you stuck in the kitchen.
