Welcome to Pressure Cooker Centre. I'm going to demonstrate for you
the latest model from Silampos, which is a Portuguese brand
and this is the Easy Pressure Cooker
First, I'm going to show you what are the different features on the lid. You have the lid handle
with a button that you push and pull
to open and lock the pressure cooker
And here is a pressure regulator that you turn to choose
the low pressure, the high pressure, or to depressurise
Now, I'm going to do a test for you
with just some water
And you can do the same at home if you want
before you cook for the first time with your Silampos Easy Pressure Cooker
So, to close the lid
there is a mark on
the lid and a mark on the handle
Put the tube on line, and just
slide the two handles together and lock
You always must start your cooking in a pressure cooker
with your stove on high
So you need to generate heat inside the pot very quickly so it comes to pressure quickly
and you avoid
overcooking the food
So high temperature underneath when you start. Now the first thing
you're going to notice is
the little pressure indicator here, which is the red button
This little pressure indicator is going to pop up
When it pops up, that's telling you there's pressure in your pressure cooker
but it's not telling you that you had reached pressure
your only have reached the pressure that you have chosen here
Low pressure or high pressure
when steam will escape
from the nozzle here
So we just wait
a couple of minutes to
have a look at this pressure indicator. Now you can see that the pressure indicator has started to move
And in a few seconds, it will just pop up in a position. As you can see, the steam is
now escaping
You can here it through the nozzle
So it's time now
to turn down the heat as low as you can
And
time your cooking. This is perfect moment
that you time your cooking
Let's see. The cooking time has expired. Your little timer has beeped
You turn off the gas
And now you have three options
before you open you pressure cooker
The first option is
If you're not too hungry and too much in a hurry
you just wait
until this little red button
goes down again
And that means no more pressure, and you can open your pressure cooker
You can also, if you wish
depressurise manually. So all you have to do is
turn this
button to pressure-release steam
And that will depressurise
But if you're in a hurry
And you don't have any steam in your kitchen
you take your pressure cooker
to the sink
And now to depressurise your pressure cooker with some cold water. So just run
little cold water on the lid just for
a few seconds
and when your little button
red button is down
you know that means
no more pressure
So you stop the water
Take out your Silampos Easy Pressure Cooker, push the button and open
and voila
