Introduction Pressure cooking is a unique way of cooking that has been invented more than 300 years ago, by a French physician in 1679. For this purpose, conventional pressure cookers were used but due to safety measures they have been replaced by electric pressure cookers. Electric pressure cookers consist of following components: • Housing: An outer stainless steel container, that holds the removable cooking pot inside it. Housing consists of Heating element, and the Control Panel. The control panel has built-in micro-processors which control the temperature and pressure inside the cooker. It gives one touch access to the different types of cooking supported by the electric pressure cooker • An Inner pot • Lid • Safety valves Benefits of Using Electric Pressure Cooker 1. Safety: Electric pressure cookers do not start heating till the lid is closed properly. This is to avoids any unfortunate incident. 2. Pressure and Temperature Control: They automatically keep track of the pressure and temperature within the defined limits, without your intervention. 3. Save Time: Up to 70- 90 percent less cooking time. 4. Nutrient Retention: they retain almost 90% of the food nutrients. Mechanism is; less time taken fewer heat-sensitive nutrients lost, less water used less nutrients leached away. 5.
