Design - The "hi dome" provides extra height than the model with the flatter lid. It's made from durable aluminium, and has an elegant silver colour. I think that's the model I have. There are just two settings, two dots and one dot? The weight swivels easily between the two. Pressure cookers cook above the atmospheric pressure, therefore the temperature inside the cooker can increase to around 117ºC (depending on the pressure settings of your pressure cooker). Thus, at these higher temperatures food cooks much faster.

For the cooking liquid I suppose I cheat a bit and put in a can of oxtail soup and then a can full of water. Add herbs, salt and pepper and an Oxo cube. When choosing a pressure cooker, first things first, consider its capacity and power. However, before you do that, make sure to decide which type suits you better: electric or stovetop. As it's easy to guess, electric models require electricity, whereas stovetop models are basic units designed to be put right on a stove (gas or electric). When it comes to electric pressure cookers, the power output of the unit should be no lower than 1000 Watts - that's the optimal performance for this type of devices. The capacity of the cooking pot is important too. If you have a large family, we recommend choosing from models with 5-6L pots. This is the average capacity that will allow you to prepare a family-sized dinner. For professional use though, say, you work in a restaurant, make sure to choose pressure cookers with a more capacious pot. It is also essential to make sure the device is made of high-quality materials to serve you for a long time. More often than not, pressure cookers (both electric and stovetop models) are designed either from stainless steel or aluminium. Aluminium cookers are usually more affordable; they are designed in the shape of a pot and feature a multi-layer bottom for uniform/heat distribution. A lid usually adjoins the pot using a silicone or rubber ring ensuring excellent leak-free sealing. As far as stainless steel models are concerned, they are more expensive compared to aluminium cookers, but they also are more reliable and durable and if you take good care of the appliance will likely serve you a lifetime. Besides the materials, you might want to consider the weight. This can be important if you want a portable device that can be easily moved or carried with you.
