Choosing your size

Using it safely

Never fill a pressure cooker more than two thirds full, or half full for beans and grains that foam. Check that the gasket and valves are clean before each use, and always let the pressure drop fully before opening the lid.

Cooking tips

Heat the pan gently before adding oil, and keep the heat at medium for most cooking. Match the size of the pan base to the ring on your hob so heat spreads evenly. Looked after like this, the aluminium pressure cooker will give years of good cooking.

Caring for your cookware

Use wooden or silicone utensils to protect cooking surfaces, avoid metal scourers, and let pans cool before washing. Dry everything fully before putting it away. A little care keeps the aluminium pressure cooker looking and cooking at its best.

Who it is for

Cookware like the aluminium pressure cooker suits families, new homes and anyone who cooks every day. It also makes a generous gift for a wedding, a housewarming or someone setting up their first kitchen.

Cooking for a crowd

For family gatherings and celebrations, cook rice, curries and stews a day ahead, as many dishes taste even better the next day. Cool food quickly, keep it in the fridge and reheat it thoroughly before serving. The aluminium pressure cooker makes cooking for many people easier.

Healthy home cooking

Cooking at home means you choose exactly what goes into each meal. Steaming, simmering and pressure cooking keep more of the goodness in vegetables and pulses. With the aluminium pressure cooker, healthy, home-cooked food is easy to prepare.

Storing your cookware

Stack pots with a soft cloth between them to protect the surfaces, and store lids upright or separately so they do not chip. Kept this way, the aluminium pressure cooker will stay in good condition for longer.

Saving energy

Putting a lid on the pan, matching the pan to the ring size and turning the heat down once food is simmering all save energy and money. Pressure cooking and heavy-based pans that hold heat help too. Used this way, the aluminium pressure cooker helps keep cooking costs down.

Planning the week

Cooking a big batch of rice, dal or curry at the weekend and portioning it for the week saves time on busy evenings. Cool leftovers quickly and keep them covered in the fridge, or freeze them. The aluminium pressure cooker is ideal for batch cooking like this.
