What are the Benefits of Pressure Cooking?
-
FAST. Saves up to 70% in cooking time! Your favorite recipes can easily be adapted to cook in 1/3 of the time.
-
EASY. Just load the ingredients and liquids into the cooker, close the lid, bring to pressure and cook, then release and open the lid. It’s that simple!
-
HEALTHY. Because foods are cooked under pressure, up to 50% more vitamins and minerals are retained. Also, shorter cooking times retain more nutritional values of food as well as the natural color. In addition, it cooks without oil.
-
SAFE. Fagor Pressure Cookers have three safety valves that permit any possible excess pressure to escape, so the cooking experience is completely secure.
-
VERSATILE. All types of foods can be cooked in a pressure cooker – from vegetables, rice, stews, soups, chicken, fish, meat, even desserts.
-
ENERGY EFFICIENT. Because pressure cooking reduces cooking times up to 70%, this means a tremendous conservation of energy.
-
OFFERS GREAT TASTE. The steam pressure breaks down the fibers in food in a very short time, leaving food moist and succulent, with an intense intermingling of flavors.
-
IN THE SUMMER: Because foods are cooked under pressure with the lid on, this reduces heat in the kitchen area. Enjoy healthy and simple rice, beans or potato salads!
-
IN THE FALL AND WINTER: Delicious soups and stews in no time at all!
-
IN THE SPRING: In a pressure cooker, you can keep most of the color found in fresh, spring vegetables because pressure cooking maintains the natural color and flavor of foods. Some Fagor models can be used as pressure canners as well, helping you stock your pantry with your favorite sauces, jellies or meats.
