Pressure Cookers
A pressure cooker plainly stated is a lidded pot that seals out the air,
but locks in the steam to build a "pressure" that cooks food uniformly and easily.
Customers also admire food cooked in a pressure cooker for being juicy and delicious to others, such as not needing to use fat, butter or other ingredients to assist in the cooking method.
This is good, but there is one thing that may impact the quality of the food cooked inside.
Pressure cookers often are made from reactive metals which means when these materials are exposed to high heat they leach into your food. That doesn't sound very healthy does it? These metals can also cause the loss of your foods' nutritional value with the high heat they cook with, damaging the delicate nutritional cells and in the case of pressure cooking further damaging the food with extremely high amounts of steam pressure. On a another note the food doesn't come out as flavorful because one would have to add extra water to help create enough steam to maintain pressure inside the pot.
Can you pressure cook your food without chemicals leaching? Can you use a steam cooker without harsh heat damaging the delicate cells in your food thus making your meals less healthful? How about not having to dilute your meal by needing to add extra liquid? The answer is simple, use an all natural pressure cooker.
A pure clay pressure cooker is a great and healthier alternative to the conventional cooker. How is it healthier? For starters, it is made of 100% tested pure and all natural clay, that is rich in nutrients and micro nutrients and no chemicals or metals added to it. This ensures that there are no harmful chemicals seeping into your food. Unlike metal, pure clay cooks with a gentler form of heat called far infrared heat which penetrates deep into the food without damaging the nutritional cells. This heat also allows seasonings and spices to seep in the food making it more flavorful. Another aspect making food more flavorful is that pure clay naturally traps steam inside so there is no need to add extra water as the food cooks in its own juices. The best part about pure clay pressure cookers is unlike the conventional ones you can remove the lid to add extra ingredients or stir without worrying about letting the pressure out.
When choosing the best pressure cooker for your family keep pure clay pressure cookers in mind. Because of the very natural way they cook your food they are one of the best ones for this purpose.
