The Science Behind Pressure Cookers
FAQ
What foods are suitable for pressure cooking?
What is a good pressure cooker for?
What is the best pressure cooker?

What are the best foods to lower blood pressure?
Natural and organic foods. To lower blood pressure, the consumption of fruits, greens, vegetables, salads, whole foods, lean and fresh meat is encouraged.
What makes a good stovetop pressure cooker?
The best stovetop pressure cookers should have a sturdy, heavy-bottomed pot that can double as a standard stockpot when not using the lid. As such, comfortable handles that you would expect to find on a standard pot will make a huge difference when it comes to pouring out stews and other hot liquids.
How do you choose a pressure cooker?
The ideal pressure cooker will let you caramelize onions, sear meats, and cook a variety of dishes. Cookers with a wide, low profile allow for better evaporation when searing and sautéing. A deeper pot has a smaller cooking surface, so browning meat takes longer because you have to work in smaller batches.
