Inside the tightly sealed pressure cooker, the water is heated and eventually boils into steam. Since the steam cannot escape, it gets accumulated around the food, there by cooking the food. All those trapped water molecules increase the pressure inside the cooker and cooking the food hence the name pressure cooker.

Even when placed on a rack, breaded meats or vegetables are not recommended due to the fact that the breading will get soggy as the pressure cooker cooks with steam. The breading may also fall off the meat and cause burning on the bottom of the pressure cooker.

Regalia pressure cooker from Wonderchef comes in these capacities and in attractive colours of purple and red. We also have Ultima pressure cooker in 3lt and 5 lt capacity with mirror finish body.

Safety features of modern pressure cookers include: Expanding rubber gaskets that prevent unlocking or removing the lid when contents are under pressure. Lid lock to prevent the lid from being opened while contents are under pressure. Pressure regulators to ensure the pressure doesn't get too high. Leaky lid detection. All Wonderchef pressure cookers have enhanced safety features.

Of course not, you should never leave a pressure cooker unattended. Additionally, you should make sure to only use a pressure cooker with its safety valve in place, since it's designed to release excess steam when needed.

Wonderchef cookers have a very strong handle. Use the handle to secure a firm grip while opening/closing the pressure cooker.

Unlike pressure cooking on gas, or an electric coil, where the heat is generated by a flame or element and then transferred onto the base and sides of the cooker and eventually the food inside, induction cooking turns the pressure cooker's base into the heat source – heating only the base of the cooker to cook the food.

Yes. Induction cookers have iron/steel base, which is required for electromagnetic induction that is required for cooking on the induction stoves.

In case of aluminium pressure cookers there is a possibility of reaction of acids in the food with the aluminium metal.

Hard anodized is basically aluminium body that is created through the electrochemical process where aluminium is fused together with non-stick coating. This type of cookware is 30 per cent harder than stainless steel making it extremely durable.

Hard anodized and stainless steel pressure cookers like Nigella, Easy Lock, Ultima range of pressure cookers from Wonderchef are one of the best cooker options available.

The steam regulation system controls pressure better, cooks faster, saves more fuel, reduces sprouting of frothy foods (such as dal). The Safety Valve is positioned such that if it opens, the steam and food are deflected safely downwards. The steam regulation system is safe in all Wonderchef pressure cookers.

No. you shouldn't attempt to open one while it's in use. If you need to open your cooker while food is cooking, turn it off first and release the pressure before opening.

A pressure cooker has a lid fitted with a safety lock which cannot be opened when the cooker is pressurised. The lock comprises a clutch incorporated in the transmission line between the opening/closing handle and the locking mechanism such that when the interior of the vessel is pressurised, the clutch prevents the lid from being removed from the vessel, esp. by slipping if an attempt is made to operate the opening handle.

The gaskets and safety plugs have to be changed every 12 months no matter how often the pressure cooker is used.

Wonderchef pressure cookers have soft touch and bakelite handles for comfortable grip and durability.

The base is made of 1.2mm thickness, For SKU specific thickness specification, kindly visit the product description section.
