Presto Pressure Cooker Reviews

By Joe Maldonado


It is always a good idea to read various pressure cooker reviews before you decide which one you are going to buy. There are a lot of choices out there, so it can sometimes get confusing when you are trying to determine which one is going to work the best in your kitchen.

Pressure cookers in general will all operate on the same principal, which is the use of steam to rapidly cook food. The cookers are made to be airtight, so that when the temperature gets hotter, the food that is cooking will create steam. The steam becomes trapped inside the cooker, which then makes the pressure rise inside of it, and the liquid is able to get even hotter. This is what enables your roast to come out extremely tender, and your food will retain all of its nutrients.

Since there is more pressure and the temperature is able to get much hotter, by using a pressure cooker you will be able to cut down your cooking time to just a third of what it would be otherwise. Plus, all of the food's flavor gets locked in, so you are able to enjoy the way that your food is supposed to taste!

One particular cooker that seems to be getting a lot of positive pressure cooker reviews from users is the Presto 23 Quart Pressure Canner/Cooker. It is actually made from aluminum that is extra durable, and it looks like smooth brushed silver. You have to be careful with what you use to clean it, because if you use something that is too abrasive you could permanently scratch the surface. You can keep it looking shiny and new by using some fine metal polish on it once in awhile.

You can use it as a canner or a cooker. As a canner, you could fit up to 7 jars at a quart a piece. If you use it as a pressure cooker, you could easily fit a large roast inside to serve your family a nice holiday dinner. There is also a dial that is easy to read that will constantly give you an accurate reading of the temperature inside the cooker.

You can easily tenderize any cut of meat, and your meals will be ready even faster than if you had cooked them in a microwave! Plus, your food won't get all dried out like it does when you cook it in a microwave. All of the flavor will be retained in your food, because you will not be losing any of it through evaporation. Another thing that is great about the pressure indicator is that it will let you know when the cooker has depressurized completely and it is safe to open it up.

Many customers report that they actually use this cooker mostly as a canner, and that cooking meals in it is simply an added bonus. Customers giving pressure cooker reviews are also saying that they love the fact that they can save so much energy by using this cooker.
