Thought to have been invented in 1679 by Denis Papin, a physicist,
the pressure cooker has gone through a steady evolution from mini submarine to
the modern present day iconic cooking vessel.
Hated by many, loved by others, the pressure cooker can reduce cooking
times by up to 90% in some cases by cooking food at increased temperatures by
raising the pressure.
Although often
seen as something Grandma struggled with, resulting in rapid evacuations from
the kitchen or explosions of red hot stew hitting the ceiling; the pressure
cooker offers a uniquely rapid, sustainable and extremely healthy way to cook. Every boy now aged over forty had or wanted a
steam engine. Mesmerized by the hiss of
the boiler, steam gushing from joints, it is a dream that lives on for
many. So ladies, if you want to get your
husband into the kitchen … get him a pressure cooker and stand back. From pulses to soups he will quickly become
obsessed releasing not only steam but the inner cook and the love of food that
is in everyone.
Under Pressure: A Man's Guide to Pressure Cooking published by Tigroney Press in their Short Guide Series is a
quick starter guide for those who are new to pressure cooking and who may still
have nightmares about Grandma in the kitchen. This is not a tradtional cookbook but a instructions manual for the most inexperienced cook. Due to be released in September 2017.
