Advantages and disadvantages
A pressure cooker in essence and appearance is an ordinary saucepan, but it does not have a simple lid, but closes as tightly as possible. It is thanks to her that the temperature and speed of boiling of the liquid inside the utensils increase significantly, and, therefore, the cooking time of any dishes is accelerated.
The speed of cooking is the main advantage of the pressure cooker. In addition, the following characteristics are also the advantages of such dishes.
- Possibility to prepare all kinds of first and second courses.
- Simplicity and ease of use and maintenance of the pressure cooker.
- During cooking, all foods retain their rich color and flavor, as well as most of the vitamins. Dishes cooked in a pressure cooker are tastier, richer and healthier than those cooked in a regular saucepan.
- There are models that can be used on gas or electric stoves, and there are those that simply work from being connected to the network independently.
- There is a possibility of a sharp release of pressure inside the pressure cooker, this allows you to quickly soften the structure of the food and speed up their cooking.
- Economical power consumption.Compared to other household kitchen appliances, a pressure cooker uses on average 2-3 times less electricity.

It is also worth noting that in such wonderful pans you can cook not only dishes according to special recipes, but also any others. The main thing is to remember that the cooking time is reduced by 2 or even 4 times.
The pressure cooker also has its drawbacks.
- It was originally considered a device with increased explosiveness. This was the case before, now manufacturers have modernized their devices, and with proper operation, the risk of their explosion is zero.
- The lid must not be opened during cooking, as pressure will drop inside the pressure cooker: the cooking time will increase and the quality of the food will suffer.
- In case of careless handling, there is a risk of burns when opening the container.
- Until the cooking process is over, the products inside the miracle pan cannot be tasted, enough spices, or fully cooked. Therefore, you will have to focus on the smell and the approximate cooking time. But here, experience comes with frequency of use.

Criterias of choice
To personally verify all the advantages of these kitchen utensils, you need to make the right choice. And here it is important to know that not all goods declared as produced by domestic manufacturers are in fact. Therefore, first of all, in the store, you must carefully study the information about the manufacturer yourself, and not blindly believe the words of the seller.

- Equipment and instructions. It is imperative to make sure that your pressure cooker is equipped as indicated by the manufacturer. The instruction should be detailed and accurately describe the procedure for using and maintaining the device.
- The capacity of the pan itself - one of the key selection criteria. The larger the family and the more often you plan to use the pressure cooker, the larger its capacity should be.
- Availability of additional accessories. The models that have them are always more expensive than conventional pressure cookers. Therefore, before overpaying, you need to make sure that you need an insert-steamer and a mantle cooker.
- By purchasing a pressure cooker on sale with a big discount, you should definitely ask about the reason for the markdown: perhaps the utensil has some kind of defectT.
- It is also very important to make sure that the rubber seal on the lid and on the upper part of the utensil is dense, intact and has no cracks or chips. If there are any drawbacks, you should refrain from buying, otherwise the pressure cooker will not work properly.
