� When pressure cookers were first produced, some people had accidents with them, usually because the food was left unattended or overcooked.� Today�s technology, however, has created a number of safety features that make working with pressure cookers a breeze.� These include: �
� If you follow a few safety steps, like not overfilling your pressure cooker and not using too much heat, your pressure cooker can last a lifetime without any danger whatsoever to yourself or your family. � � � What Should I Look For in a Pressure Cooker?
� New Model.� Pressure cookers from a few decades ago lacked many of today�s modern safety features.� If you are buying a pressure cooker used or on eBay, make sure that it�s not only of those older designs. � Standard Safety Marks.�� Look for a pressure cooker with a recognised safety mark for your particular country which is a sign that the manufacturer follows the best safety precautions. � Right Size. �The size of your family will have an impact on the pressure cooker you�ll want to buy.� Consider whether you�ll be more likely to cook for two or eight when making your decision. � Good Construction.� It doesn�t help to save time if your food ends up scorched because of hot spots in the metal of your pressure cooker.� Invest in a good, stainless steel cooker with a heavy 3-ply base to ensure even cooking. � Solid Handles.� When you�re dealing with a very hot pressure cooker, good, solid handles are a must.� Look for one long handle with a shorter helper handle on the other side of the pot.� Make sure that the handles feel solid and are firmly attached. � Good Reviews.� Check cooking magazines and websites to read pressure cooker reviews from other consumers and businesses. �
