8-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker, Deluxe, High-speed Tri-clad Base Silver

It's easy to cook healthfully with pressure cookers, since the food retains so much more of its nutrients and flavor. This 8-quart pressure cooker is a multi-purpose pot that can stand in as a conventional soup pot as well as perform the kitchen magic that pressure cookers are famous for.

Chicken Cacciatore cooks in 8 minutes! The USDA recommends pressure canning as the only safe method for low-acid foods such as vegetables, meats, and poultry. This professional-quality stainless steel pressure cooker is a handy addition to any well-rounded set of kitchen tools. The heavy-duty lid locks down during cooking; an inner sealing ring keeps the steam in. In addition to a pop-up pressure indicator and a simple steam release mechanism, there is an over-pressure plug that will let off steam if it builds up excessively. This pressure cooker is useful for weeknight dinners or for any meal that needs to come together quickly. An accompanying booklet contains 75 recipes, ranging from basic soup stocks to stews and pot roasts--even desserts like Petite Pumpkin Custards! Tenderize lean cuts of beef or pork; or cook chicken, fish, or vegetables faster than you can in a microwave, and without losing moisture.

Nonabrasive cleansers are best for cleaning this stainless steel pressure cooker, though occasional use of a fine metal polish will help the exterior keep its shine. The 8-quart pressure cooker is fully immersible; in addition, the sealing ring should be removed after each use to allow cleaning of the inside rim of the lid. The vent pipe is simple to keep clean with a small brush or pipe cleaner, and both the air vent/cover lock and the over-pressure plug are removable.

The pressure cooker measures 10-1/2 inches in diameter (15-1/2 inches including handles) and 8-1/2 inches tall (including lid). A detailed instruction and recipe booklet is included; special safety issues that pertain to pressure cookers are clearly explained. Size: 8 qt, Color: Metallic.

Chicken, fish, meat, and vegetables cook to perfection in minutes. Quickly cooks and tenderizes economical cuts of meat. Stainless steel construction with a special tri-clad base for fast, uniform heating. Ideal for use on regular and smooth top ranges. Pressure regulator maintains proper cooking pressure automatically. Pressure regulator/steam release valve offers an effortless "quick cool" option. Cover lock indicator shows at a glance when there is pressure inside the cooker and prevents the cover from being opened until pressure is safely reduced. Stainless steel steaming basket for cooking several foods at once with no intermingling of flavors.

Includes a 64-page instruction/recipe book. Tri-clad base is made with a layer of aluminum sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel.
