Time-saving, energy-saving, healthier cooking must have a pressure cooker. Pressure cooking is a method of cooking in a sealed vessel that does not permit air or liquids to escape below a preset pressure. Because the boiling point of water increases as the pressure increases, the pressure built up inside the cooker allows the liquid in the pot to rise to a higher temperature before boiling, killing bacteria and viruses.
Foods are cooked much faster by pressure cooking than by other methods, (except perhaps microwaves), and with much less water than boiling, so dishes can be ready sooner. Less energy is required than when boiling, steaming, or oven cooking. Pressure cooking is often for boiling and to simulate the effects of long braising or simmering in shorter periods of time. Almost all middle-class households in India have at least 1 pressure cooker. It is widely used for boiling and for simulating long braising and simmering in Indian cooking.
