Pressure Cooking - Pressure Cooker - Cooking and Canning Co.

The Pressure cooker is a method of cooking in a sealed Pressure Cooker that does not permit air or liquids to escape below a desired pressure. Because water's boiling point increases as the pressure increases, the pressure built up inside the Pressure Cooker allows the liquid in the pot to rise to a temperature higher than (212 °F) before boiling. The higher temperature causes the food to cook faster. Cooking times can be reduced by three or four times!

Pressure canning is the only method recommended safe by the U.S.D.A. for low-acid foods such as vegetables, meats and fish. Pressure canning is a safe and economical method of preserving low acid foods which has been used for decades. The temperature that must be reached and maintained “for a specified amount of time” to kill the bacteria is 240 F. This temperature can be reached only by creating steam under pressure i.e. Pressure Canner.
