Pressure Cooker - Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a pressure cooker different from a regular pot?
A pressure cooker traps steam inside a sealed pot, increasing pressure and temperature so food cooks faster while keeping in more nutrients and flavour.
Are pressure cookers safe to use?
Yes. Modern pressure cookers have multiple safety locks, pressure-release valves, and indicators. Follow instructions, don’t overfill, and check seals regularly for safe operation.
Can I use a pressure cooker on my induction stove?
Most stainless steel pressure cookers work well on induction cooktops. Check for an induction symbol or magnetic base before buying.
What size pressure cooker should I get?
A 4–5 litre cooker suits one or two people, while a 6–8 litre model is ideal for families or batch cooking.
What should I look for when buying a pressure cooker?
Choose stainless steel or aluminium for durability, with strong locks, clear indicators, and easy-clean parts. Pick a brand with good reviews and local support.
Do pressure cookers work for all types of food?
Yes, they’re great for meats, soups, beans, rice, curries, and even desserts — anything that benefits from moist, slow-style cooking done faster.
Can I use slow cooker recipes in a pressure cooker?
Yes, but reduce the cooking time and liquid. Pressure cooking develops flavours faster.
How do I clean my pressure cooker?
Let it cool, remove the gasket and lid, and wash all parts in warm soapy water. Avoid harsh scrubbers and dry thoroughly before reassembling.
How long does a pressure cooker last?
With proper care, it can last for years. Replace the gasket or valve if they show wear.
Can I cook frozen food in a pressure cooker?
You can, but thawing first gives better results. If cooking from frozen, add extra time and ensure enough liquid for steam.
Is food cooked in a pressure cooker healthy?
Yes. Pressure cooking preserves vitamins and minerals by using less water and shorter cooking times.
