Pressure Cookers - Saving Time Under Pressure

Do you find yourself never having enough time in the day? I get up at the crack of dawn to get myself ready for work so that I'll have time to get the kids breakfast and off to school. After putting in a full eight hour day, I get home and rush around getting dinner prepared, cooked and on the table at a reasonable time. But the battle is only half over at this point. I know it will take another hour or so after dinner to cleanup. Not to mention the laundry, dusting, vacuuming, etc. that has been piling up. The evening has come and gone and I don't feel that I have gotten anything done. And did I mention that I'm exhausted? Unfortunately, the household chores are unavoidable. So how can you make more time in your day for things you enjoy? Enter the pressure cooker.

Now just like most everything else in the world today, pressure cookers have been updated and modernized. They are no longer the scary contraptions your mother or grandmother used. Pressure cookers are quiet, easy to use and they reduce cooking times on average by 33% but a 60% reduction in cooking time is common in many cases. The significant reduction in cooking time is achieved by the increase of pressure within the pressure cooker. As the pressure increases, so does the temperature, which rises above the boiling point of water. Therefore, foods cooked in a pressure cooker cook faster because it is cooked at a higher temperature than normal. For instance, you could have hearty beef stew in 20 minutes or a 2 lb. beef pot roast in 35 minutes.

In addition to significantly reduced cooking times, a pressure cooker can also save you time during cleanup. Since entire meals can be cooked in the pressure cooker, there is only one pot to clean. There's nothing I hate more than staring at a stovetop full of dirty pots and pans at the end of a meal. Now I just see one - my pressure cooker.

So go find that book you've been wanting to read because you're going to have plenty of time tonight to kick back and relax!
