Of course, at the beginning of the last century, Escoffier did not use a pressure cooker, but it is safe to say that today he would cook his broths in it.

Part 1.
Principle of operation and types.

A pressure cooker is an amazing working tool for any cook. The traditionally long and laborious cooking process is reduced by several times - a pressure cooker takes much less time to reveal the magical aromas and transform the textures of food than a conventional saucepan. Risotto takes 7 minutes instead of 25, strong chicken broth takes 90 minutes instead of 2-3 hours. Canning jars, baking bags or vacuum bags (those designed for high temperatures) can be placed in the pressure cooker - polenta no longer needs to be constantly stirred so that it does not stick to the bottom of the saucepan. And the high temperature inside the pressure cooker helps it caramelize and brown to a golden brown, a reaction that adds subtle flavors to your dish that can't be achieved in a humid environment like stewing. If you are still not a fan of the pressure cooker, try our Caramelized Carrot Soup (recipe attached).

A pressure cooker is essentially just a pot with a hermetically sealed lid and a valve to control internal pressure. The principle of its operation is that the lid does not release steam, which, as it forms, increases the pressure inside the pan. An increase in pressure gives an increase in the boiling point of water, which is usually limited to 100 C (at sea level, since in higher places the boiling point is slightly lower due to lower atmospheric pressure). And since the useful temperature in the pressure cooker is higher, about 120 C, the cooking time is significantly reduced.

Fast, and therefore energy-saving cooking is, of course, wonderful, but what really makes a difference is the quality of the dishes prepared. During ordinary cooking, the wonderful smells that hover around the kitchen warm the heart, but at the same time, the fundamental components of taste disappear into the air without a trace. The airtight environment inside the pressure cooker retains most of these quickly evaporating flavors. The finished dish retains the fullest range of flavors as the evaporating elements condense on the lid and then flow back down into the pot.

Too many people avoid pressure cookers simply because they are too lazy to follow safety rules. Relax, in modern pressure cooker technology, safety comes first. We recommend using pressure cookers with an integrated spring valve, such as those from Kuhn Rikon or Fagor, or pressure cookers with a sliding valve. Electric pressure cookers are even simpler - you just need to set the time, she does the rest herself. Older models of pressure cookers or autoclaves (home canning appliances) can also be used, but they will definitely be louder and not retain the flavors as well.
Consumer grade pressure cookers come in a variety of sizes, ranging from 4 to 10 liters. Choose a three-layer stainless steel pressure cooker (aluminum with a stainless steel layer) - this is guaranteed to save you from burns. Also make sure that the pressure cooker has an indicator that indicates the level of absolute internal pressure. As a rule, recipes indicate a pressure equal to 1 bar (or 1 technical atmosphere) or 15 psi - (pounds per square inch).

BUYER'S GUIDE.

Pressure cooker with spring valve.
Pressure cookers with a built-in spring valve are best suited for making broths and sauces. The valve hermetically seals the pan, which makes it possible to retain all the volatile flavors before they evaporate into the air. Fagor pressure cookers deliberately release a little steam when the internal pressure needs to be adjusted, but they still lose much less flavor than open pots.
When the internal pressure reaches 1 bar, the indicator shows 1 red bar.

Price: $80 for Fagor and $200 for Kuhn Rikon

Electric pressure cooker.
Nothing could be easier to use than an electric pressure cooker: Plug it in, press the button and set the timer. The only downside is that the food cannot be brought to readiness on the stove, and you will have to find a separate place in the kitchen for this unit - after all, in fact, this device has only one function.

Price: $100-$135

Pressure cookers with a movable valve.
Our grandmothers also used such pressure cookers: a rattling, steaming machine, whose behavior is not so easy to determine the level of pressure. In addition, it is not so safe in comparison with its modern counterparts. But if used strictly according to the factory instructions, pressure cookers with a movable valve are quite safe and cope with the tasks.

Autoclave.
This hefty unit is the closest relative of the pressure cooker and it is intended for conservation. It can also be used for cooking, but then you will have to deal with countless clips on the lid, which is not very convenient to use. Also, autoclaves are usually made of aluminum, and therefore the food burns in them. It is customary to bleed the autoclave before canning, but do not try to do this before cooking in it - again, delicious aromas will be lost. Autoclaves often have a movable valve, but it does not always work.

Part 2. HOW IT WORKS.

So, why is a pressure cooker so good? Yes, because when the pressure in it reaches the set value of 1 bar, it heats up very much inside - up to 121C. Whether you are cooking broth, simmering goulash or simply boiling beans, the temperature of these water-containing dishes, as a rule, will not be able to exceed the boiling point of water - 100 C, and then the water will boil away, which is also undesirable for the cooking process. But in order to quickly extract important taste-forming reactions from products or quickly destroy the cell membranes of plant products, such a temperature is simply not enough. Increasing the pressure helps overcome this difficulty.

Pressurized steam quickly transfers heat to the surface of foods that are not immersed in the liquid.
The lid closes with a pin that tightens the walls of the pan. Frequent overloads can ruin the mechanism, and the pressure cooker will become useless. There are pressure cookers where bolts are used that clamp the walls from the outside.

In mountainous areas, atmospheric pressure is lower, respectively, and water boils at a lower temperature. In Denver (rise 1.6 km above sea level) water boils at 95 C, in Chamonix (France; rise 1 km) it boils at 97 C, in the city of Cusco (Peru; rise 3.4 km) - at 89 C. At a similar height in both pressure cookers and open pans, cooking takes longer, but even at the top of the pressure cooker it is still more efficient.

The handle also has a lock to keep the lid from opening while the contents are under pressure.
Add enough water to the pot, around the food or under the food insert, to create a lot of steam.

The spring valve is initially open to allow air to escape. As the contents begin to heat up, the increasing vapor pushes the valve up and closes it (if overpressure, it rises even higher and reopens to release excess steam). The valve regulates the pressure inside the pressure cooker according to the given indicators: usually it is 0.7 or 1 bar (10 or 15 atmospheres), this value is called absolute pressure. At this pressure, water boils at 114 C or 121 C. Once the pressure cooker reaches the set pressure level, turn down the heat to avoid overloading.

Sealing ring. As a rule, this is a dense rubber gasket that does not allow the resulting steam and air to escape from the pan. As the temperature rises inside, the steam pressure increases - it is this process that increases the pressure. Any food particles stuck in the pad can cause a leak, so wash thoroughly and carefully check the gum for cleanliness before each use.

There is too much liquid in this pressure cooker. In a word, the pan should be filled no more than two-thirds.
The water becomes steam, increasing the pressure inside the pressure cooker as it heats up. The boiling point also rises, since it is directly related to pressure, and just enough to keep the water and steam at their boiling point so that the pressure can rise in turn. The pressure continues to rise until the relief valve opens.

Spoiler: They are much more functional than you think.

Part 3. COOKING IN THE PRESSURE COOKER

Cooks who are just starting out with pressure cookers often cook at too high temperatures, which leads to overloading the unit. It is very important to understand that excess pressure inside the pot does not increase the temperature, but only provokes the emergency valve to release steam, causing the water inside the pan to boil. Constant overloads can ruin both the sides and the sealing gum on the lid. Read the manufacturer's manual to know exactly when the pressure cooker is at absolute pressure, when it is overloaded, or when it is depressurized.

1. Prepare the ingredients. If you want to brown onions or any other spices before cooking them in a pressure cooker, save the extra frying pan, you can fry them right in the pan, and only then close the lid.
2. Add all ingredients, stir, and close the lid. It is imperative to mix - liquid or fat evenly distributed throughout the pan will help to avoid burning. Remember that once you close the lid, you will no longer be able to stir the dish.
3. Heat a saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Watch and listen - the pressure cooker will beep when it reaches the absolute pressure level, and then lower the heat to low. Raise the heat to maintain absolute pressure in the pressure cooker.
4. The timing can start when the pressure inside the pressure cooker reaches the level specified in the recipe. If your pressure cooker has a spring valve, it should pop up to the red line, not higher. The pressure cooker should not hiss loudly. If you have a pressure cooker with a moving valve, it should move 3-5 times per minute, it should not shake continuously and furiously.
Most pressure cookers with a spring valve have 2 lines drawn to indicate the pressure - low and high. We recommend cooking at an absolute pressure of 1 bar or 15 psi.
A jet of steam from a valve that pops out means that the pressure cooker is overloaded and the valve releases excess pressure for safety reasons. Overloading can dent the sides that hold the lid tightly and press it against the pot, and if they don't close tightly, the pressure cooker will be of little use.
5. After cooking, remove the pressure cooker from the heat and cool it down. You can simply leave the pot alone for a few minutes if the dish allows (for example, broth). And for dishes that are more sensitive in terms of cooking time (for example, risotto), run a stream of cool water (26-36C) along the edge of the lid - this way the pan will depressurize faster (be careful not to let water get inside the valve). Some pressure cookers have a quick pressure release button or wheel, make sure you read the instructions and know how to use this feature safely. Never try to open a pressure pot. The dish will instantly lose its flavors, not to mention that all the contents will be splashed all over the kitchen.
6. Place the pot in the sink and open the lid. If the lid doesn't budge, don't strain - let it cool a little more until it opens with less resistance.
7. If the dish is not ready, simply put the pan on the stove and complete the process without closing the lid. Alternatively, close the lid, bring the pot back to absolute pressure, and continue cooking.

SAFETY REGULATIONS
Be sure to read and follow the factory instructions for using your pressure cookers.
Opening the lid of the pressure cooker before it cools down will cause the boiling water to splatter all over the kitchen or even you. Before opening the pressure cooker, use the quick pressure release button, or cool the pressure cooker under running tap water, or simply let it stand. The pressure valve will lower when the pan is completely depressurized.
Before you start cooking, check the rubber seal on the lid to see if it's dry or cracked. These gaskets do not last forever - change them according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Also make sure the lid rim and gasket are clean. Any food particles stuck there can break the seal.
Don't fill the pot more than two-thirds full. For legumes and grains, which tend to expand in volume, fill the pressure cooker only half way.
Avoid cooking foamy foods (such as oatmeal or pasta). Foam can block the valve and prevent pressure from being released at the right time.
Open the lid away from you so that you are not scalded by the hot air from the pressure cooker.
Use canning tongs to handle hot jars and be sure to let the contents cool slightly before opening them.

AUTOCLAVE (HOME PRESERVATION)
Several of the recipes in this book reflect the benefits of cooking in glass jars. We use them to prepare ingredients that require intense constant stirring like polenta, to make small batches of lard, for confit garlic, or to extract flavors. Always leave at least 1.3 cm to the lid when filling the jar. Also, jars should not touch the bottom of the pressure cooker: place them on a metal grill or on a hot stand, or in extreme cases on crumpled aluminum foil. Pour enough water to cover the grate and allow the pressure cooker to create steam. Once the jars are completely screwed on, loosen the lids a quarter of a turn, otherwise the pressure may break the glass or rip off the lid during cooking. Be sure to check the glass for cracks after using the jar in the pressure cooker.


CARAMELIZED CARROT SOUP
Quantity: 6 servings (1.3 kg)
Time: 40 minutes (20 minutes prep and 20 minutes self brew)
Difficulty: Medium
Special Requirements: Pressure Cooker, Ghee Carrot Butter (optional, recipe page 121)
The quality of this soup depends entirely on the quality of the carrots, so try to find the best one. Calcium-rich carrot stems can add a bit of bitterness and ruin the texture of a creamy soup, so it's best to get rid of them right away. But it's up to you, one way or another, you can try to cook soup with or without rods and compare. Serve the soup with a dollop of coconut cream and a sprig of tarragon to bring out the inherent sweetness of carrots. You can also use fresh coconut flakes and cumin seeds.
Ingredients:
500 gr peeled carrots
113 g unsalted butter
30 grams of water
5 gr salt
2.5 gr soda
635 gr freshly squeezed carrot juice
40 gr melted carrot butter
Salt to taste
1. Cut all carrots lengthwise into quarters and cut out a coarse fibrous core. Then cut into pieces of 5 cm.
2. Melt the butter in a pressure cooker (to keep the carrots from sticking to the bottom).
3. Dissolve salt and soda in water. Add this mixture and the chopped carrots to the melted butter and stir well.
4. Cook at absolute pressure (1 bar) for 20 minutes. Start counting the time only when the pressure cooker reaches the specified pressure level. To prevent anything from burning inside, you can shake the pan slightly. After 20 minutes, the carrots will be completely caramelized.
5. Cool the pressure cooker under running cool water.
6. Puree cooked carrots well in a blender.
7. Pass the puree through the shinoa.
8. Boil the carrot juice in a separate container. Strain through a fine sieve.
9. Mix juice with carrot puree and bring to a boil. Add water, if needed, to bring the soup to the right consistency.
10. Stir chilled carrot oil into soup. You must use an immersion blender - this is very important to give the soup a velvety texture.
11. Add salt to taste and serve warm.

For fast cooking under high pressure and therefore higher cooking temperature than in a conventional saucepan. Products in it retain their natural color and taste.

A pressure cooker can become your assistant in the kitchen if you value your time and care about proper nutrition.

Benefits of pressure cookers

Cooking in a pressure cooker is about 3-4 times faster than in a conventional saucepan, which reduces the time spent at the stove.

When cooking food in a pressure cooker, vitamins are retained better than in food cooked in ordinary pans.

You can cook dishes for a couple, for this a special grill or basket is included in the kit. The pressure cooker allows you to cook frozen product, without defrosting it first. You can also use the pressure cooker like a regular saucepan, just by replacing the lid with a glass one.

Do's and Don'ts of Cooking in a Pressure Cooker

The list of products that can be cooked in a pressure cooker is quite large - in fact, it all depends on your imagination. It is not recommended to cook only those products that, when cooked, can clog the operating valve inside the pan.

What not to do with a pressure cooker:

• Put the pressure cooker on fire without water.
• Fill more than 2/3 of the pot.
• Immerse the pressure cooker lid in water and wash it in the dishwasher.

Safety of modern pressure cookers

Modern pressure cookers have several levels of safety, so various troubles can be ruled out. All pressure cookers have an outlet valve that regulates the pressure. At the end of cooking, you can quickly or slowly, depending on the need, lower the pressure to the desired level in order to open the lid.

Electric pressure cookers give you even more free time. You can pre-program the time and duration of cooking, as well as the time to keep the temperature of the finished dish. There are various modes: "porridge", "meat" , "soup", "rice", "potato". Also, some models of electric pressure cookers have a baking function.

We can say that meat is given to man by nature itself, since the amino acid composition of meat proteins and proteins of the human body are very close. With the help of amino acids, the body produces tissues, hormones, enzymes and many other useful substances. In addition, meat is rich in zinc and protein, which gives the body strength and energy.

Cooking meat dishes in a slow cooker-pressure cooker allows not only to preserve everything valuable in meat (B vitamins, zinc, phosphorus, iron and proteins), but also to reduce the content of cholesterol and purine bases in it. We can say that this miracle unit cooks the most healthy meat. In addition, for cooking meat in a multi-cooker-pressure cooker, you do not need to use additional ingredients that change their chemical composition during cooking and become more or less harmful to the body (for example, oil or fat).

Anyone who at least once in their life tried to cook meat in a large piece in a slow cooker-pressure cooker appreciated all the advantages of this modern kitchen appliance over a conventional pan. It not only does not lose extractive substances during cooking, which means it retains its bright natural taste and rich aroma, but also remains juicy. In addition, it retains all its nutritional properties. In the same way, you can cook portioned semi-finished products from pork and veal, for example, natural steam cutlets, as well as chopped mass products.

A multi-cooker-pressure cooker significantly shortens the cooking time of meat and, accordingly, your stay in the kitchen. Basic cooking time 10-25 minutes, additional time 5-15 minutes. Meat dishes are prepared mainly in two modes: "Frying" and "Stewing". Less often "Varka". The "Extinguishing" mode allows you to make soft, melting in your mouth any, even the toughest piece of meat. Boiled meat is intended for lovers of unleavened dishes, stewed meat will please with its juiciness, and fried meat will have a unique, excellent taste. Whatever you cook, the result will please you in any case.

For dietary, medical, baby food, the steam mode "Steam" is perfect: it can be used to cook, for example, steam cutlets. It is better to learn new recipes from simple to complex. Start with cutlets and baked meats, then you can experiment with roast and stew recipes, then you can move on to more complex, sophisticated recipes.

There are no special secrets for cooking meat in a slow cooker-pressure cooker. To improve the taste of meat, you can follow the following recommendations.

To make the meat more juicy, as well as to improve its aroma and taste, the meat is marinated, stuffed and breaded. For example, roast beef with chopped nuts. A large piece of beef is well stuffed with strips of bacon.

Lamb can be smeared with a paste of herbs, mustard, spices, garlic, anchovies, or a mixture of Dijon mustard, fresh herbs, breadcrumbs. Particularly tender parts can be cooked by wrapping them in pork gizzard. It protects the meat from burning and makes it juicier. For better shape preservation, meat, and not only stuffed meat, is sometimes tied with twine.

In a multicooker-pressure cooker, you can cook and marinate meat at the same time. The trick is to use a well-seasoned, flavored liquid rather than plain water. To improve the taste of meat, water can be replaced with juices, wine or seasoned with various spices. For example, beef can be cooked in a mixture of beer (or ale) and water. For pork, a mixture of water with apple juice or cider is suitable.

Introduction

The need for food is stronger than love.

Japanese proverb

The modern rhythm of life does not fit long standing at the stove. Cooking fast is the dream of housewives of all time. It is estimated that grocery shopping and food preparation take 2–3 hours, and often 50% of a woman's non-working time. It's too much! The diverse interests of modern women, their participation in all spheres of activity, creativity, and public life urgently require saving time and effort on household chores, including cooking.

However, no one argues that cooking is a necessary and mandatory activity. In order to help them in this difficult task, a wonderful device was developed: a multicooker-pressure cooker! It is better suited than many kitchen appliances for today's life and health care, because it combines the speed and high quality of cooking. These qualities have made her an indispensable assistant in the kitchen.

The very name of the kitchen appliance speaks of its ability to work in two different modes: as a slow cooker and as a pressure cooker. The first part of this compound word - "multi" (from Latin multum - many) indicates the versatility of the new unit. He boils, steams, stews, bakes and fries. The pressure cooker adds to this list the thermal processing of products at elevated pressure (0.7 kg / cm 2). Such a cooking process has its advantages: high pressure creates a special microclimate in the cooking bowl, hot steam effectively heats the product, preserving its structure and useful properties. At the same time, the dish is prepared several times faster than with conventional heat treatment.

Here, for example, is the cooking time of a part of the products in “normal conditions” and in a slow cooker-pressure cooker.

The multi-cooker-pressure cooker in all its glory shows its versatility. Such a quick helper can replace almost all kitchen appliances: stove, oven, double boiler, microwave, bread machine, yogurt maker, deep fryer, egg cooker, rice cooker... In addition, the slow cooker is a great alternative to pots and pans.

This device has a more powerful body, a reliable steel bowl, as well as a temperature control system. There is a special valve in this technique through which steam escapes. To turn the slow cooker into a pressure cooker, you just need to close the valve.

You can cook a lot in a pressure cooker. Not only cereals, pasta and soups, but also a variety of meat, fish and vegetable dishes, yoghurts, drinks, and the variety of pastries is simply breathtaking! The multi-cooker-pressure cooker is successfully used for preparing preparations - these are jams, preserves, vegetable caviar, sauces, homemade tomato paste and much more.

The possibilities of the multi-cooker-pressure cooker can be listed for a very long time, as well as to describe all the variety of healthy and tasty dishes that it cooks! But it is best to make sure that the multi-cooker-pressure cooker is a great tool for realizing the most daring culinary fantasies, from your own personal experience. Be creative, create your own unique recipes.

Multi-cooker-pressure cooker, or two in one

From the point of view of the Russian language, the words "multivarka" and "pressure cooker" are not synonymous. But their functions are very similar. The difference between them, perhaps, is only in the way of loading products - all the ingredients must be loaded into the pressure cooker all at once, since it is not recommended to open the lid during the process, and you can also load food into the multicooker (if necessary) during cooking.

In addition, in a pressure cooker, food is cooked faster than in a multicooker, but the latter has the function of maintaining a certain temperature of the dish after it has finished cooking, which is not the case in a pressure cooker.

One of the fashion trends, due to the large number of kitchen appliances, is the combination, if possible, in one device of the function of several appliances at once. A striking example of this is a multicooker with a pressure cooker function - the latest in innovative technologies for fast and high-quality cooking. The device is sufficiently versatile and compact, which allows solving many problems.

10 pluses

Cooking in a slow cooker has a lot of advantages over conventional slow cookers and pressure cookers, not to mention cooking in a regular pot on the stove. They are worth listing.

Rapidity. Dishes in a slow cooker-pressure cooker are cooked 3-5 times faster than in a conventional saucepan, and twice as fast as in a slow cooker. Of course, the cooking time of food depends on many factors: the quality of the food, the intensity of heating, and most of all, personal taste. Foods or pieces of a larger size naturally cook longer, smaller ones faster.

Nutritional value and taste. Food cooked in a pressure cooker is easily digested by the body. The miracle unit modes allow you to cook while maintaining the nutritional value of each product, minimizing the evaporation of liquid and the loss of vitamins and mineral salts. Unlike a conventional saucepan, there is very little oxygen in the airtight bowl of this appliance, which causes noticeable oxidation of food.

Thus, the real smell, color and taste of the products are preserved. In addition, with this assistant you can do without fat and oil: cook food in your own juice. At the same time, the use of salt and spices is reduced to a minimum: in a closed container, the products fully retain their original aroma, while absorbing the aroma and taste of seasonings and spices, so aromatic ingredients are needed half as much as with conventional cooking.

It is not unimportant that during cooking the smell of food remains inside the bowl, which is necessary if, for example, a particularly aromatic dish is being prepared - with onions and garlic, for example. Extractor is not needed, very convenient!

Breadth and variety of applications. The multi-cooker-pressure cooker contains popular methods and options for cooking specific types of dishes

It can fry, boil, stew and steam food from almost any food. Able to cope even with products that were previously on the black list: apple compotes, oatmeal, crushed peas, pasta, etc.

When creating recipes for multicookers, as a rule, they strive to achieve the preparation of a dish “in one step”, so that the user can lay the ingredients, press the button and, after a more or less long time, get the finished dish without interfering with the cooking process. But even in cases where this fails, the multicooker independently maintains the desired cooking modes, while simultaneously tracking the time and maintaining the temperature (and, possibly, pressure) in the pan, set by the recipe, thereby greatly simplifying the user's task.

The pressure cooker is a true ally for families with small children. With its help, you can prepare dietary meals for baby food. In addition, it can be used not only for cooking and quickly heating food, but also for defrosting food, sterilizing baby bottles.

Flexibility and versatility. The multicooker-pressure cooker is suitable for cooking dishes that require fast and intensive cooking, as well as slow cooking. She is able to cope with any tough meat and stew it to the state of "melts in your mouth." Just turn off the pressure valve. Some multi-cooker-pressure cookers have a "Simmering" mode, designed for long stewing of tough and long-cooking foods.

When cooking frozen food, there is no need to pre-defrost: the multi-cooker-pressure cooker cooks and defrosts at the same time.

Simplicity and ease of use. The multicooker-pressure cooker has a clear indication, convenient tips, function keys. For a comfortable release of steam, at the end of the process, programs with pressure and "Steam" automatically switch to the "Heating" program, which makes it possible to reduce the cooking time in the main program.

Calculation of the required cooking time, temperature control and in general, almost the entire cooking process from start to finish is taken over by a smart microprocessor with built-in automatic programs. All that is required from the owner of the device is to prepare the products and choose the right mode.

Possibility of delaying cooking. The timer allows you to adjust the cooking time, there is a delayed start function.

The possibility of delaying cooking in a multicooker-pressure cooker allows you to fully eat for people with a busy work schedule. For example, leaving the house at 8 o'clock in the morning and setting the delay time for cooking by 10-12 hours, you can safely count on a hot dinner, carefully prepared for your arrival. Even if you linger, after the appliance has finished cooking, the food in the bowl is reheated, staying warm for several hours. The only “but”: it is recommended to use the “Heating” mode for no more than 12 hours, because then the food begins to dry out.

Safety. The pressure cooker is made of high-strength steel alloys and equipped with a number of devices that ensure both safety and ease of use. High-quality pressure cookers are equipped with several safety steps: a spare valve and a system of valves around the circumference of the lid, a system for locking and unlocking the lid. Unpleasant surprises are excluded. Now there is no need to wait for hours until the pan cools down, the steam pressure decreases and it can be opened.

Ergonomics and aesthetics. The multi-cooker-pressure cooker has a body of stainless polished high-strength steel and is quite compact. She will find a place even in a cramped kitchen. But appearances are deceiving: the internal volume of the bowl of the kitchen assistant allows you to cook dinner for the whole family. In addition, the appliance can simultaneously cook several dishes from products that require different cooking times.

Profitability. A weighty argument in favor of a pressure cooker is significant savings. After she appears in the kitchen, there is no need to be constantly at the stove, watching the cooking temperature. In addition, less oil is required for refilling, less electricity for cooking. According to various sources, when cooking rice and stewing food, from 45% to 70% of electricity and 40% -70% of their time are saved.

Simple care. Multicooker-pressure cooker is a convenient unit for operation and maintenance. The absence of splashes, greasy smudges on the stove and dishes will please any housewife, for cleaning you only need to wash the lid and the bowl itself, which does not cause much trouble. By the way, the stainless steel bowl can be washed in the dishwasher.

2 cons

Unfortunately, despite all the advantages of a multicooker-pressure cooker, they also have their drawbacks:

They have a more complex design, as a result - a higher price, it is more dangerous to work with superheated steam under high pressure.

After the end of the cooking process, it takes some more time for the pressure in the thicket to normalize through a special valve.

Principle of operation

The multicooker-pressure cooker is equipped with the valve for an exit of steam. If you close this valve, it becomes completely sealed, a high pressure is pumped into its bowl and maintained. As a result, water boils and steam is produced at temperatures above 100 °C. The idea to speed up the cooking process came to the French physicist and pharmacist Denis Papin, after a long observation of the operation of steam boilers and engines. In his invention, he used the scientific fact known by that time that the boiling point of a liquid depends on atmospheric pressure. For example, with an increase of only 10 mm, the boiling point of water increases by 0.3 °C. Simply put, in clear and sunny weather, when the pressure is higher, your potatoes will cook faster.

In 1679, Papin created a hermetically sealed vessel in which, when heated, the pressure rose, and with it the boiling point. The device was named after the inventor - "Papin's Digester", translated something like "Papin's Cooker". The device was widely used for processing sugar into moonshine.

Design

Multi-cookers-pressure cookers cook food at high pressure, hence a number of design features. So they have

stronger construction, locking mechanism, pressure control valves and safety valve.

The design of the multicooker-pressure cooker is quite simple. It consists of a body with an electric heating element, a cooking container (bowl) with a non-stick coating, a built-in microprocessor for cooking control, a steam valve and a hermetic lid closing system.

The inner bowl with non-stick coating is inserted into a plastic or metal case with heating elements. All this structure is crowned with a hermetically sealed plastic cover. This is not only a reliable guardian of "runaway" dishes, but also a guarantor of proper uniform heating, in which the useful elements contained in the products are preserved to the maximum.

When the lid is closed, its design ensures a tight connection with the body of the product, which allows you to build up high pressure in the pressure cooker. During operation, when the pressure in the pressure cooker is higher than atmospheric pressure, the lid will automatically lock. If the lid does not open without effort at the end of cooking, the pressure in the cooking chamber is still too high. It is necessary to open the steam release valve and wait until the pressure in the device returns to normal.

There are 2 types of valves on the cover: service valve and safety valve. Manufacturers in their instructions call these valves differently: a working valve, a steam release (removal) valve, or a pressure reduction regulator (it is also sometimes called a cargo valve, pressure limit valve). The working valve is designed to maintain the working pressure of the steam in the pressure cooker bowl and release the steam after the end of cooking. With excess pressure, the valve rises and excess steam escapes through the valve openings.

The design of this valve may differ for different models of pressure cookers. An intelligent microprocessor controls the temperature inside the device, maintains a certain pressure, the volume of the evaporated liquid and can optimally determine the time required for cooking, depending on the weight of the products contained in it. Food is heated evenly in the multicooker using induction heating. Some cooking programs have been entered into the memory of the microprocessor: frying, baking, cooking steam dishes, stewing food and cooking.

All this action is performed easily and quickly: we throw the desired product into the device, fill in water and select the desired button with the required process. The multi-cooker-pressure cooker is equipped with a special program to maintain the desired temperature after the end of your cooking process and heating. You can also set her the time for which you need to cook food, lay food and your dish will be cooked according to the parameters you specified and by a certain time. Almost all modern pressure cookers have a display that reflects the cooking process of your dish.

The main modes of the multicooker-pressure cooker

The design of the multi-cooker-pressure cooker provides for electronic control: it is possible to set the cooking parameters using the touch panel: select the mode, set the time. Thanks to well-thought-out cooking modes, food does not burn, sensors of the "smart pan" monitor the cooking process. The number of automatic programs and modes in different models varies from 4 to 55.

Such diversity is not to be feared. Since multicookers of all manufacturers have the same principle of operation, it is not difficult to understand the modes, you just have to read the instructions. At the same time, despite the difference in programs, modes and functions in different models, it is quite simple to “translate” recipes for a particular model.

Most often there are three main modes: "Stew", "Cooking", "Baking" and three programs for cooking cereals: "Cereals", "Pilaf" and "Milk porridge". The latter are most often fully automatic.

For example, consider the main modes of the multicooker model REDMOND RMC MHO.

"Rice/Cereals". The mode is intended for cooking side dishes from cereals - millet, buckwheat, rice, pearl barley and other cereals. The principle of operation of the mode is to evaporate the liquid. After the water is absorbed into the product, the program switches to heating. Thanks to this amount of liquid, it is possible to regulate the friability and density of the resulting dish. Used with the steam valve closed.

"Soup". The mode is intended for preparation of various soups and mashed soups. Used with the steam valve closed. "Cooking". The mode is used for cooking meat, fish, vegetables, sausages, compotes, preparing fruit purees. Used with the steam valve closed.

"Frying" allows you to fry meat, vegetables, poultry, seafood at normal pressure with the addition of some oil or fat. It is used with the lid of the pressure cooker open.

"Jam/Desserts"(3 cooking times) is very good for making jams, marmalades, jams, various desserts. Used with the steam valve closed.

"Pilaf". The mode is designed for cooking rice and any type of pilaf: with meat, with vegetables, with seafood, with dried fruits. The principle of its operation is the same as that of the "Rice / Cereals" mode. However, there is one caveat: in the last 5-10 minutes of cooking, the intensive frying function is activated. First, the program boils, evaporates moisture, and then lightly fries the bottom layer, for example from meat and onions.

Using this mode, you can cook not only pilafs from rice and its substitutes (wheat, noodles, buckwheat), but also baked potatoes, and naval pasta, and fried dumplings. In a word, a wide variety of dishes, the preparation of which combines boiling and baking (roasting). Used with the steam valve closed.

"Milk porridge". One of the most convenient and popular modes. It is intended for preparation of various milk porridges. It allows you to put cereals in the appliance in the evening, pour milk and set the time for breakfast using a timer. The next morning at the appointed time, hot, fragrant and tasty porridge will be waiting for you. Thanks to this mode, you can cook cereals, in principle, from any cereals, adding all kinds of additives to them. Used with the steam valve closed.

"Beans". The mode is very convenient for cooking peas, beans, lentils and other similar products of legumes. Used with the steam valve closed.

"Bakery". In this mode, you can cook not only almost any pastry: muffins, biscuits, pies, casseroles, but also bake meat, fish, vegetables. Used with the steam valve closed.

"Extinguishing". In this mode, you can cook a lot. It is specially made for extinguishing all kinds of products. Dishes in this mode can be cooked without oil, in their own juice, which is quite suitable for dietary and medical nutrition. Used with the steam valve closed.

"Steam". A very convenient mode for cooking dietary steam dishes. The principle of operation of the mode is that the hermetic closed space is filled with steam, which evenly envelops the products from all sides, condenses on their surface and gradually transfers the heat inside. Food heats up quickly, evenly, and the pores on its surface are quickly clogged, retaining its shape, juiciness, nutrients and natural taste. Such preservation during the heating process turns into another plus: the smells of steam products do not mix. Therefore, using a special bowl for steaming food, you can cook several dishes at the same time. For example, soup is being prepared in a saucepan, and steam cutlets for the second or vegetables for vinaigrette in a bowl.

This mode is ideal for making flour products: dumplings, ravioli, dumplings. It can also be used to warm up "yesterday's" dishes.

It is very convenient to use it to boil milk. In this mode, you can set the cooking time from one minute to an hour. Next come the programs in which you need to independently set the cooking time. Used with the steam valve closed.

Actively using the basic cooking modes, do not forget about the manual mode.

In this case, this is the mode "Chef".

The mode allows you to cook a variety of dishes, both at high and at normal pressure, with the setting of an arbitrary cooking time in the range from 2 to 99 minutes. With the help of this program, you can realize almost any of your culinary ideas.
