Frequently Asked Questions
- How does the pressure cooker work?
-
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.
- What can I not put/cook in a 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.

-
A small family of 3-4 who use pressure cooker regularly, then a standard pressure cooker of 3-5 litres will be enough. 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. A bigger/joint family of 5+ people will require a pressure cooker in the range of 5- 9 litres. The Taurus hard anodised pressure cooker from Wonderchef comes in 8lt capacity for large cooking needs.

-

- How is induction pressure cooker different from the regular 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.
- Can I use the induction pressure cooker with the gas stove?
-
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.

-
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.
- What is the pressure locked system in the Wonderchef pressure cookers?
-

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.
