Crucial nutrients and the different tastes of the ingredients are sealed into the pressure cooker like into a safe. Natural colours are retained, making the food cooked under pressure not only a joy to eat, but also to look at.
Whether sensitive foods like fish and fine vegetables, meats and soups, baby food, rice, or deserts – with the right inserts, nearly anything can be prepared in a pressure cooker.
How does the pressure build up?
The pot and lid are tightly sealed by a sealing mechanism and rubber gasket. A minimum amount of water is poured into the pot and part of it evaporates during cooking.
This water vapour forces the vitamin-unfriendly oxygen out of the cooker through the pressure valve. Once the air is forced out, the valve closes, sealing the cooker.
The steam can no longer escape now and a higher pressure forms within the cooker.
State-of-the-art pressure cookers from Fissler incorporate various safety features which function automatically.
For example, pressure can't build up at all unless the cooker is sealed properly.
Sealing the cooker also activates the safety systems, which limit pressure in the cooker and ensure that the cooker cannot be opened until the excess pressure has been released.
