Pressure Cooker!
August 5th, 2008
I have finally acquired a pressure cooker– the aluminum 6 quart Presto one. Even just cooking a potato, the scent it puts off is great and the flavor is so much more intense than a microwaved potato. The pot roast I’m making now smells heavenly. It really brings back memories of my grandmother’s house, which is where I first encountered the device.
Plus, the very mechanical way it operates is fascinating. It makes me think of steam engines– the pressure regulator is a loose metal knob that rocks and rotates to release steam, and is heavy enough that it only rocks when the pot reaches 15 psi.
