Rack of ribs, stews, casseroles, bone broth soups in minutes instead of hours, these are all the absolutely amazing wonders of pressure cookers. If like me, as a child, you scared by the idea of the loud gushing hiss of the stove-top pressure cooker, and therefore put off pressure cookers for life, it might be time to revise and review the experience.

The developments in enclosed multi-cookers have brought pressure cooking right up to the 21st century. One pot cooking, non-stick surfaces, minimal mess, easy cleaning everything you could wish for and to add to that, the incredible time-saving function of pressure cooking. Another benefit of these electrical pressure cookers are that they function far beyond just pressure cooking – the majority of them also slow cook, cook rice, soup and make yoghurt.
