Polartec 3L Aluminium Pressure Cooker: Overview
The Polartec 3 Liter Aluminium Pressure Cooker is a stove-top pressure cooker made of aluminium. It cooks beans, tough meat, stews, soups and rice much faster than a normal pot by trapping steam under pressure, and its 3 litre size suits a small to medium family.
Features and Benefits
Pressure cooking can cut the cooking time of beans, cow leg and goat meat to a fraction of the normal time, which saves gas and effort. Aluminium is light and heats quickly. Pressure cookers of this kind usually have a locking lid, a rubber sealing gasket, a pressure valve and a safety vent. They suit gas and electric hobs, but plain aluminium usually does not work on induction cookers. The name does not state the exact design, so ask Vsonic whether the lid fits on the outside or the inside, what safety features it has and whether it works on your cooker.
Using and Caring for It
Add food and liquid, but never fill more than two thirds of the cooker, and less for foods that expand or foam, such as beans and rice. Check that the sealing gasket and the pressure valve are clean and in place, close and lock the lid and cook as the manual says. Never force the lid open while there is pressure inside, and release the steam carefully, keeping your face and hands away from the vent. Wash the pot, lid and gasket after it cools, and keep the valve free of food. Do not use steel wool on aluminium.
