Electric Cooking Pots

If you really want to minimize safety risks and make pressure cooking even easier, you can always go the electrical route. As previously mentioned, third generation electric pressure cookers are equipped with an automatically regulated heat source, a spring-loaded valve, a timer, and intelligent built-in programs with pre-set cooking times and settings based on the type of dish you're cooking. On top of that, modern devices like the Instant Pot include not only a pressure cooking function but also several other programs, including slow cook steam, yogurt, keep warm, etc.

If you are someone who needs cooking to be fast and easy, an electric pressure cooker could be worth the investment for its safety and practicality. Just remember that even though it removes many of the traditional risks associated with stovetop pressure cookers, you still need to avoid the mistakes listed here for the best results.
