Pressure cooker Manhattan clam chowder. This recipe for Manhattan clam chowder is a perfect example of how even the simplest recipe can be made elegant.
What is pressure cooking, how does it work and what benefits does it offer?
Pressure cooking is a technique that cooks food faster than conventional cooking methods. This method uses steam pressure to cook food evenly and quickly, preserving nutrients and retaining more of the original flavors.
Pressure cookers create steam pressure inside the pot by boiling water, which forces the lid down on the pot. This pressure creates a seal on the pot, which traps steam inside and pushes food up to be cooked.
The benefits of using a pressure cooker include: – Quicker cooking times
– You can cook meat and vegetables in less than half an hour in a pressure cooker, as opposed to 4 hours or more for conventional cooking methods like frying or roasting.
– More nutrients – Pressure cooking preserves nutrients like vitamins C and E, as well as minerals such as iron.
– Less dishes to wash – Cleaning up a pressure cooker is significantly easier than washing an oven or stovetop.
– Less fat – Fewer unnecessary fats are burned to cook food in the pressure cooker, and so less saturated fats are created.
