Pressure cookers work on a simple and effective strategy using steam that accumulates in a sealed appliance. Rising steam pressure lets the boiling temperature soar higher than usual. More moisture is absorbed into the meals, so they cook faster and, in the case of meat, tenderize sooner. In this way, high pressure accelerates the cooking stages without compromising on quality. If you are one of the rare supertasters who can instantly pick out savory tastes that remain elusive to us, you might find pressure cookers to be a reliable accomplice. It is a very energy-saving process as the cooker relies on pressurized steam, recycling it within the pot until the contents are cooked thoroughly. Less time on the stove means that organic flavors and nutrition remain intact and get no chance to escape; the high temperatures even kill harmful bacteria. Health benefits? Check. Food hygiene? Double check.
Why Cuisinart?
Cuisinart pressure cookers have user-friendly interfaces to help you set temperatures and durations. The cooking time is considerably reduced, preventing nutrients from becoming volatile. Apart from traditional stovetop pressure cookers, Cuisinart also features a range of electric pressure cookers (typically known as instant pots). They are famous for their multifaceted convenience, allowing food to brown, simmer, sauté, and stay warm. Ergonomic safety and auto-lock add to the overall culinary charm of these appliances. Cuisinart 6-quart pressure cooker models are ideal for various appetizers, entrees, custards, and even cheesecakes. The following designs explore their features and functionality.
Cuisinart CPC-600 6 Quart 1000 Watt Electric Pressure Cooker
This 6-quart electric pressure cooker saves 70% of the total cooking duration, preparing your meals at just 30% of the usual stovetop time. It is a BPA-free product and has an intuitive control panel for low pressure, high pressure, browning, sautéing, simmering, and warming options. A digital thermostat regulates heat levels within the fingerprint-resistant stainless-steel shell. The 99-minute timer ticks on an LED display. Cool-touch side handles make it easy to lift the pressure cooker and place anywhere on the included trivet. The nonstick cooking pot and trivet are dishwasher-safe. You will need far less liquid than other cooking methods, which also means that maximum nutrients will stay intact instead of evaporating away. A recipe book guides your culinary stages with chart illustrations and pressure-release tips. You can brown your vegetables and meat to form a flavorful crust that envelopes a moist interior. Sautéing is an ideal setting for making pilafs and risottos. Also, pre-programmed simmering allows finishing the cooking process of risottos, stews, and sauces with gradual ingredients joining the mixture. The keep-warm feature delivers up to 12 hours of fresh, warm meals – ready to serve at your scheduled time.
