Turbo Cooker vs. Pressure Cooker
What is a pressure cooker?
A pressure cooker prepares food using steam that is tightly sealed in a special engineered pot.
A modern pressure cooker can cook soups, rapidly prepare dried beans, make rice, and so much more.
How a Turbo Cooker compares:
- - A Turbo Cooker™ works by using low pressure to expedite the cooking process, a Pressure Cooker uses high pressure. o You do not need a locking mechanism to create low pressure steam. o You do not need a seal or gasket to build up steam in a Turbo Cooker™.
- - In a pressure cooker you need to wait for the liquid to boil and the pressure to build up and when the meal is finished you need to wait for the pressure to reduce before you can open the cooker – neither need to be considered in a Turbo™.
- - In a pressure cooker you can not brown.
- - In a Turbo Cooker™ you can remove the cover during cooking and add ingredients, you can not in a pressure cooker.
- - In a pressure cooker all flavors combine but in a Turbo Cooker™ you can blend the flavours if you want as well as keep them separate.
- - You can cook for example a pancake, then transfer it to the steam rack and cook another and another, stacking them together to keep them hot – impossible in a pressure cooker.
- - You can bake a cake on the steam rack and chicken in the base, impossible to do in a pressure cooker.
- - You can reheat a meal in a Turbo Cooker™ impossible to do
in a pressure cooker.In a pressure cooker you would stew in the Turbo you SteamStew™ it.
What can’t a Turbo do better?
There’s nothing a pressure cooker can do better than a Turbo™ the only differance is a pressure cooker is slighly faster
Pressure Cooker Explained
Basic Features
Liquid is heated in the sealed chamber, creating steam. The airtight seal creates a large amount of pressure inside the pot, which heats the liquid to a high temperature.
Once the lid is closed, the correct amount of pressure is selected based on the recipe.When the desired pressure is reached, the heat is lowered to maintain a consistent pressure.
It can take up to 10 minutes for a pressure cooker to reach its target temperature. When cooking is finished — but before the lid is opened — the pressure inside the pot must be released
Pressure Cookers are good at cooking:
Because pressure cookers cook faster than traditional cooking they are good for:
- •Roasts
- •Chili
- •Soup
- •Cheese Cake
... and other foods that typically take longer to cook.
Cooking Advantages
Speed and the retention of nutrients are the key advantages of pressure cooking.
Available Upgrades
Stove top pressure cookers can come in aluminum, stainless steel units are higher quality..
There are better engineered handles and locking mechanism, but electrical pressure cookers can come in various levels of sophistication.
Issues
The main issue with pressure cookers is safety. People in a hurry use what is called the cold-water technique to release steam.
This is the most dangerous method as steam can escape from vents accidentally left open.
What is SteamCooking™
SteamCooking™ is the cooking technology/cooking technique that was developed in conjunction with Turbo Cooking. SteamCooking™ is the simultaneous combination of traditional cooking techniques incorporated with the use of steam.
