Using Your Fissler Blue Point Pressure Cooker - Can You Cook Under Pressure

Preparing your food in a pressure cooker adds variety to your meals and lends you the time to relax or take care of other things during your busy day. The ease of a delicious one-pot meal preparation, and the express cooking time combine for a win-win situation. Using the Blue Point Pressure Cooker, found at YourSmartKitchen.com, dinner can be prepared in about a third of the time of conventional cooking. And the flavors of your foods will be so enchanting, they will appeal to as wide a variety of diners as your kitchen holds!To begin cooking, add your ingredients to the cooker with just a small amount of water. Then close the lid and slide the blue button on the handle to the pressure cooking mode. Now turn the stove on to maximum heat. The water will begin to boil as you can see from the steam escaping from the pan. Through the release of steam, oxygen is expelled from the pot preventing oxidation and quality loss of the food. As the pressure builds, the patented Euromatic safety valve will shut and very little steam will escape after this point in the cooking. This valve is what causes the Fissler Blue Point Pressure Cooker to cook SILENTLY, and without escaping steam or smells. As the pressure in the pot continues to build the pressure control will respond. The safety valve makes sure that the pressure never builds too high. The pressure control pushes out the blue point button on the lid (for which the cooker was named!) which indicates the cooking temperature has been achieved. As each of the three rings appear, they indicate the interenal temperature. Adjust the heat downward to maintaine the internal temperature desired. Refer to the manual included with the Fissler Blue Point Pressure Cooker for these temperatures as well as the required cooking times for various ingredients.

When the food is finished cooking, the pressure must be lowered before the cooker can be opened. This can be done in three different ways. The best method is to place the entire cooker (with lid on) in the sink under cold running water. With this method there is no evaporation of steam and all of the flavor is retained. When the pressure is reduced completely, the blue point subsides and lid may be opened.The second method is to slide the blue button on the handle to release the steam from the cooker. While this does bring the pressure down quickly, it also allows for loss of water vapor and some of the flavors and aroma may be lost. The third method is to simply turn off the stove and let the cooker cool down on its own. While this method does retain all the flavor and aroma of the dish, it also continues to cook the food until the lid is opened. This is not the suggested method for cooking foods such as vegetables or fish which require "just right" cooking.For fast, easy and healthful meals with no smells, sounds or loss of flavor, the Blue Point Pressure Cooker along with other fine Fissler Stainless Steel Cookware can be purchased at Your Smart Kitchen.
