Pressure cooker made of stainless steel of Russian origin: which one to choose?

The first design of the pressure cooker was a device with a hermetically sealed cover that did not let off steam. This was enough to create excessive pressure values, which shortened the cooking time. On this principle, modern models of such utensils work, but manufacturers also bet on the ability of a closed capacity to preserve the useful qualities of products. Such qualities are not only imported products, but also a stainless steel pressure cooker made in Russia, presented in the market in different versions.

What are the advantages of stainless steel?

Usually the materials from which the dishes are made have both pluses and minuses, which complicates the choice. In this case, steel provides extremely positive qualities, which are expressed in the thermo-accumulating functions, as well as in the wide possibilities of control of the structure due to its high strength. The modern pressure cooker made of Russian-made stainless steel allows you to easily handle the lid lock system and control the on-off valve to regulate the pressure level. If the dishes are currently experiencing high pressure, the locking mechanism simply will not open the lid.

But it is important to take into account that in some models the channel with the release of pressure quickly becomes dirty. Therefore, for ease of use, it is better to refer to self-cleaning units. Otherwise, such models noticeably benefit from aluminum competitors. True, this does not apply to the price list, since a pressure cooker made of stainless steel of Russian production is available on average for 2.5 thousand rubles, which is quite a lot for such utensils.

Models "Varya"

The models of the Varya family are available in different versions, which differ in volume and function. The most popular model is the 5-liter version. This is a compact model that provides high-quality preparation of dumplings, soups, cutlets, vegetables and other products, preserving their taste characteristics. As for the characteristics, a small pressure cooker made of Russian-made stainless steel "Varya" has a working pressure of about 80 kPa, while the critical level reaches 480 kPa. Optimum capacity and light weight of 3 kg allow using this model both in small-sized apartments and in large kitchens. For convenient operation of the device, the manufacturer supplies the lower and upper handles, the lid holder, the holder and the emergency valve.

Pressure cooker "Miraculous"

For more demanding cooks, the manufacturer of pressure cookers "Miracle" offers its models. They are distinguished by high-quality assembly, use of high-strength thick material for the case and capacious capacity. So, in the middle segment of the manufacturer a 7-liter model is presented. In such dishes, you can prepare both the first and second dishes, counting on a family of 4-5 people. Technologists have developed a special coating for additional protection of utensils, which prevents the formation of darkening. As for the reliability in the cooking process, the design provides a double locking mechanism. Perhaps, the high level of safety is the main advantage that this pressure cooker from stainless steel of Russian manufacture has. A photo of the model from this family is presented below.

The ruler of the brand "Oka SV-5050"

Modification SV-5050 demonstrates one more variant of a small saucepan-pressure cooker with a volume of 5 liters. Thanks to the handles made of high-strength plastic, the dishes do not cause problems in handling - even at high temperatures the working element does not heat up and it can be taken with a bare hand. What else do users comment on? A small weight of 2.5 kg simplifies the manipulation of the dishes. And this despite the thick-walled construction, in which a pressure cooker made of stainless steel of the Russian production of modification SV-5050 is realized. In terms of protective equipment, the model also does not lose to competitors - for safety the emergency valve and covers are responsible, which also differ in providing enhanced tightness.

How to choose the best model?

To begin with, a basic list of criteria for which you want to select a model for specific needs is defined. In particular, it should be taken into account how many people the pressure cooker will serve, what dimensions it can have and what dishes it will orientate on. A suitable model for a particular data model is desirable to pick up even before the purchase and to feel the size and weight. It should also be borne in mind that thick walls and a powerful bottom are the main indicators of the quality of modern devices of this type. Indeed, it is with such characteristics on the market that the stainless steel pressure cooker of Russian production is widely represented. Choose from a wide range of the best option is not difficult, if you pay attention to the additional functionality. In general, it is represented by safety systems in the form of emergency valves and locking mechanisms on the lid.

Conclusion

Many housewives view the pressure cooker as a universal kitchen tool, which quickly and qualitatively allows you to prepare even complex dishes. Nevertheless, for all practicality of this dish, the very principle of its operation under high pressure does not seem very safe. At the same time, it is necessary to carefully consider not only the evaluation of the protective systems that a stainless steel pressure cooker in Russian production may possess. The instruction, in particular, indicates the necessity of observing the safety rules in handling the device during operation. For example, the lid should always be tightly closed during cooking, and the container should not be left without water - at least a glass should be poured into it. And in addition to these rules, it is necessary to mention the high temperature at which the pressure cooker works. Accordingly, extreme caution must be exercised in handling it.
