The 6-quart capacity Cuisinart Pressure
Cooker is absolutely safe, with a lid that
has to be locked in place before pressure
builds, and stays locked until pressure
is released. This brushed stainless pressure cooker is safe, easy to use, cooks
up to 70 percent faster than conventional
methods and cooks healthier, too. Steam
trapped in the pot builds up pressure
that creates hotter temperatures, and
the pot is so tightly sealed that vitamins
and minerals can’t boil away. Foods stay
moist and flavors stay true. Features
variable pressure and temperature settings, plus browning, simmering and
sauté functions for perfect roasts, stews,
vegetables, cheesecake or custard.

It’s doubtful that anyone knows as
much about rice as the folks at Lotus
Foods. In addition to its unparalleled
collection of exotic varieties of rice,
the company also offers a beautifully
designed rice cooker, with a white
exterior and a solid mirror-finish
stainless steel inner cooking pot and
steaming tray. Besides making great
rice, the steam tray allows one to do
everything from dumplings to shellfish. We were told they are launching
a smaller version in spring 2012.
