Now, with the many pressure cookers available in the market, choosing could be quite difficult. But don't you worry as we got you covered! We prepared a buying guide that discussed the important things you need to know about choosing the best pressure cooker, plus we also have a list that showcases the best ones you can get online,
Having the right kitchen tools and appliances is just as important as having the right ingredients and cooking techniques. If you're on the lookout for the best pressure cooker, here are some pointers to keep in mind before adding it to cart!
One of the best things about electric pressure cookers is that they are fully automatic so, it does all the work for you. All you need to do is just put your ingredients in and you're good to goーno need to keep an eye on it every now and then.
Some electric pressure cookers have preset buttons and other programmable settings that automatically adjust the time and temperature settings whether you're cooking beef, pork, poultry, fish, rice, or soup which makes it perfect for beginners! There are also some pressure cookers where you can set a delayed timer allowing you to leave for work and come home to a cooked meal.
If you intend on buying electric pressure cookers, make sure that the inner pot has a non-stick surface for easy cleaning.
Stovetop pressure cookers are reliable, as long as you keep an eye on it. They cook faster than the electric ones, plus they need less energy. They usually have two pressure settings, low and high. These are less bulkier making them easier to store.
Stainless steel pressure cookers are also easier to clean and maintain. They’re less likely to get scratched or stained. One drawback, though, is that they can be quite heavy.
Pressure cookers with a tri-clad base combine the durability of stainless steel and excellent heat conduction of aluminum. The result is fast, even heating. Although, these do tend to be the most expensive. They are also not that common in the Philippines yet.
Whether you’re cooking only for yourself or maybe for your family, taking the size or capacity of the pressure cooker is important. A pressure cooker that’s around 4 liters can cook 4 cups of rice. A 2.5 liter one would be enough for a family of two persons, while a 5 liter one would be perfect for a family of four.
If you’re not sure about how much you need, count how many people you always cook for and then add an extra liter. For example, a family of three persons will need a 4L pressure cooker.
Some stovetop pressure cookers aren’t compatible with certain types of cooktops. Your money will just be wasted if you buy an item that you cannot use at all.
This is why it is important to check whether the pressure cooker is compatible with the current cooktop you are using, better yet, you can get one that is compatible with different cooktops. You can find this information on the packaging or at the product description of the item,
