It is known that the pressure cooker is the “ace” of all kitchens. Usually various dishes such as lentils, soaked dry beans, vegetables and meat are cooked. These dishes usually take a long time to cook but their cooking time is greatly reduced with the pressure cooker.
A conventional pressure cooker consists of a pot made of metal such as aluminum or stainless steel. It has a lid with a closing mechanism that covers it perfectly and does not let the steam out. the food is forced cooking with steam pressure and heat, which reduces cooking time but with certain consequences.
This extreme pressure destroys the delicate nutritional cells of the food, leaving the food nutritionally depleted. Also, when steam is released through the vent (this should be done before opening the lid), essential water-soluble nutrients are lost in the steam. That’s why cooked food is so flattened and musky. But this is not all, the things that go under the hood are even more worrying.
At cooking temperature, the metal body of the pot leach ions and food, being a biochemical entity, reacts with them. Some of these metals are quite harmful and prolonged ingestion with food causes many chronic diseases such as Diabetes and Alzheimer’s. So you can see how harmful a conventional pressure cooker can be to your family’s food and health.
Now the question is: is there a healthy alternative? Luckily, there is.
A pressure cooker made of pure clay is a 100% safe and healthy alternative and serves the same purpose. There are absolutely no toxins in pure clay that could contaminate food. They come with steam locker lids that do not let the steam evaporate freely. that’s how it settles naturally on food leaving the water-soluble nutrients intact. Also, the steam gradually builds up inside the cooker and does not force food to cook with high heat and steam pressure. Instead, coaxes food to be cooked and there is no substantial increase in cooking time.
In addition, pure clay pots are easy to clean and work with. They can work both in the oven and on the stove. To add to this, the design is much simpler with only two parts to work with: a pot and a lid, with no rubber rings, vent tubes, pressure regulators, overpressure plugs, etc.
The raw material with which they are made is pure clay that is scientifically proven to be safe and healthy. These are reasons enough for you to go and choose one of those healthy pure clay pressure cookers. You never know which one suits your needs.
