Pressure Cookers

Why buy a pressure cooker?

A pressure cooker is a cooking appliance that allows you to cook boiled, steamed, or stewed dishes in a short time. Thanks to the pressure cooker process, cooking time is typically reduced by three times, saving you valuable time in the kitchen and conserving energy.

The CRISTEL model is equipped with a high-performance safety system, guaranteeing risk-free use, even for novice cooks.

Pressure cookers allow cooking with pressurized steam, which preserves many of the vitamins and minerals in food. Unlike traditional cooking, where nutrients can be destroyed during cooking, pressure cookers preserve the nutritional richness of your food.

How to choose a pressure cooker?

Choosing a pressure cooker depends on several important criteria. First and foremost, capacity is key. CRISTEL pressure cookers are available in capacities from 4 to 9 liters, adapting to your family size or cooking needs.

The opening and closing system must be safe and convenient. To prevent accidents, modern pressure cookers are equipped with a system that prevents the lid from opening while the appliance is under pressure.

Why choose a stainless steel pressure cooker?

Stainless steel is a very popular material in the kitchen world, and there's a reason for that.

Stainless steel is synonymous with durability; unlike other materials that can deteriorate over time, stainless steel is resistant to corrosion, scratches, and impact. Therefore, a stainless steel pressure cooker is a long-term investment, as it will maintain its new appearance for years, even with frequent use.

Stainless steel is a material that allows for even heat distribution, ensuring food cooks evenly. Whether you're preparing stews, soups, or steaming vegetables, you can ensure the heat is evenly distributed, preventing overcooking or undercooking.

Moreover, stainless steel, due to its perfect food safety, doesn't react with food, meaning there's no transfer of metal particles during cooking. So, you don't have to worry about harmful substances being released into your cookware. Its smooth, non-porous surface also makes cleaning easy and prevents bacterial growth.

CRISTEL: high-end pressure cooker

The CRISTEL pressure cooker is made of brushed 18/10 stainless steel, the material of choice for cookware. The brushed finish gives this pressure cooker a modern, sleek look.

The CRISTEL pressure cooker's tiered interior is a detail that makes all the difference. These tiers make it easy to measure liquids and food, allowing for precise and controlled cooking. No more external measuring tools; everything is at your fingertips, right inside your pressure cooker.

However, the CRISTEL pressure cooker's key innovation lies in its triple-thickness thermo-diffuser base. This special base is designed to ensure optimal heat diffusion. It ensures a rapid temperature rise and even heat distribution across the entire surface of the base.
