How do you buy the right pressure cooker?

Indians are intelligent enough to know how to use the pressure cooker. They do not require any guidance in this matter. However, this buying guide will help them choose the perfect pressure cooker for the home.

Keep these points in mind when you intend to purchase your pressure cooker.

Size is critical

The size of the cooker depends on the size of the family. Pressure cookers come in various sizes ranging from 2 litres to even 10 litres. You have smaller cookers for cooking baby food. Such cookers have a capacity of 1 litre to 1.5 litres.

A standard Indian family of three to four persons would need a pressure cooker in the range of 3 to 5 litres. A bigger family or a joint family requires a cooker in the range of 5 to 8 litres.

The capacity of the cooker is vital because a smaller size will force you to cook multiple times resulting in wastage of time and fuel. On the other hand, a larger pressure cooker needs more fuel and cleaning effort. Therefore, be careful with the size of the pressure cooker.

Durability

You do not buy pressure cookers every year. Once you buy them, you expect them to last long. Therefore, durability is a vital aspect. The hard anodized and stainless steel pressure cookers are durable appliances. They do not lose the shine and are made from corrosion-resistant materials.

Heath factor

Indians use a lot of acidic content and salt in their cooking. Your cooker should be such that the materials used in the manufacture should not react to these acids. Aluminium pressure cookers are vulnerable in this regard as they respond to various acidic ingredients. The stainless steel and anodized pressure cookers are better in this regard.

Warranty

Usually, the top pressure cooker brands in India offer extended warranties on their products. Select the pressure cooker brand that provides the maximum warranty.
