"match the cooker to your cooking personality"
-
Electric pressure cookers are best for..
- those who are nervous about fiddling with heat settings – the electric cooker will do it automatically, just set it and forget it;
- those who are drowning in electric appliances like slow cooker, rice cooker and yogurt maker – an electric pressure cooker will replace all of them;
- busy parents who need to schedule dinner to be ready when they walk in the door will appreciate the cooking delay timer available in some models which starts cooking dinner before anyone is home;
- college students or persons with limited kitchens – the electric pressure cooker is a complete cooking tool it browns/saute’s, pressure cooks and keep the food warm – some do even more;
- seniors and/or otherwise abled persons-no need to remember if the burner is on or off, the cooker will turn itself off after cooking and can be placed at any height for easy access
-
Stove top Pressure Cookers are best for..
- those who want speed and power since they reach higher heat and pressure than electrics;
- those who value durability over convenience – electrics can last years but stove top cookers last decades, generations;
- cooks who want to try advanced pressure cooking techniques -many require the higher pressure and lesser evaporation of modern stove top cookers;
- cooks who like to tinker and supervise the cooking since the pressure releases faster than electrics.
