A pressure cooker can actually be used to make good food. Nothing good comes out of a slow cooker.

A pressure cooker actually serves a specific purpose you can't emulate with other utensils. A slow cooker is just a pot on low heat.

Can you make 'za in a pressure cooker?

>> No.8262774

so, on amazon there is one for 70, one for 140 euro.
I dont know which one to buy, what pressurecooker have you gotten?

Just get a big one. You can always cook a small amount in a big pressure cooker, but you can't cook a big amount of anything in a small one.

I have the presto 01370 8 quart pressure cooker.

It has a 12 year warranty.

I've found that for best results, drop a little oil in the water, and also lube the metal rim so the gasket slides and seals well.

do the simple ones without fancy display suffice?

I greatly PREFER the old-school ones that you put on the stovetop rather than the electric ones. They're simpler. Less to go wrong. Easier to clean.

definitely get a stovetop one. make sure to turn the heat down when the PC reaches pressure. if the dial goes to ten, I usually turn it down to 4 while it is cooking the food at pressure. And when the cook time is up, you can take the whole PC, put it in the sink, and run cool water over it to depressurize it quickly, instead of waiting up to 1/2 hour for it to cool off by itself.

because it's simpler (less to go wrong), you can cool it down faster by running water over it in your sink, easier to clean, and so on.

>> No.8263937

Pressure cooker if you want good results and enjoy cooking, slow cooker if you're lazy/don't like to actually cook.
