PRESSURE COOKER
WITH THE TOWER SPEED CHEF
Today's move towards healthier eating has prompted a revival of pressure cooking, a method o f cooking which has in the past been under-valued and misunderstood.. The reality is a lot different - the pressure cooker has the potential to produce delicious and exciting meals. Shorter cooking times means food is less likely to lose valuable nutrients, flavour and natu ral colour, benefits sometimes lost in other cooking methods.
The Tower Speed Chef pressure cooker is quiet, safe and simple to use, and is suitable for use on all hob'types. Speed Chef features a three setting pressure control system, operated with a “rise and fall” visual indicator which shows the appropriate cooking pressure between 5 and - 151b8. Speed Chef also offers 2 steam release mechanisms for safety. After cooking, steam i s , , released quickly by immersing the pressure cooker in cold water. Steam and pressure will then be released from around the visual indicator weight. Otherwise, the Speed Chef can be left to ; . cool naturally to vent the steam and pressure slowly.
A comprehensive combined instruction and recipe booklet gives a step by step guide to pressure cooking with lots of exciting recipes to try.
