pressure cooker
A pressure cooker is a sealed cooking pot that cooks food using steam pressure. It works by trapping the pressurized steam generated by boiling liquid (usually water) inside the pot. The trapped steam increases the internal pressure and allows the temperature to rise, thereby speeding up the cooking process. Pressure cookers are highly efficient, often reducing cooking times by more than half, while also preserving nutrients and flavors typically lost through other methods of cooking.
