Can I use an electric pressure cooker to do all my cooking that requires a pot?It seems like the most power efficient and fastest way to cook shit.
>>21735293Pretty much if it has a non-pressure mode. I wouldn’t pressure cook oily stuff in mine, and anything (ooo girl you) thick like oatmeal sometimes bubbles some out of the pressure valve before the lid fully pressurizes
>>21735293>most power efficient and fastest way to cook shitThat would be a gas stove, anon.

>>21737015that's the least efficient method, a ton of heat from the burner is wasted to the surrounding air instead of heating up your meala pressure cooker is insulated with an integrated heating element, similar to a kettle so it's extremely efficient
>>21735293I love pressure cookers, but they aren't the magical device of your dreams, gotta be realistic here. You certainly can't keep the heating element on for 100% of the time at max power else it'll overheat, which is why they'll automatically shut off if it gets to that point, and why you get like 30 min-1hour max at high heat, depending on which device you get. This means you can't sear/brown/saute to your hearts content before you make your pot o'stuff. Some models actually have a stove safe inner metal pot, which means you can brown on the stove. Don't know what you can't sear within an hour, but it'll probably have to be in batches since the base isn't as wide as the widest pan. It'd be extra work to clean, but you could also just sear in any pan you already got, and pour the deglazed liquid into the cooker with your browned food. Could also try and buy a separate inner metal pot that is stove safe, again a hassle.The pot isn't small, but it also isn't the largest pot ever, so don't expect to make multiple gallons of soup in it.
