Maxi Matic USA Elite Platinum 8 Quart Digital Pressure Cooker EPC-807

How much of your food's flavor is leaking from the standard lid provided for most cookware? The concept of applying pressure to that lid helps restore those flavors while accelarating food preparation time. In a sense, the Maxi Matic USA Elite Platinum 8 Quart Digital Pressure Cooker EPC-807 has a converse relationship to the slow cooker. It helps create flavorful stews in less than 90-minutes, instead of several hours.

The first version of a pressure cooker was created by Denis Papin, French physicist and mathematician (1647-1712). In 1679 he made a large cast iron vessel with a tightly fitted lid that locked. His invention raised the boiling point of water and at this higher temperature, bones softened and meat cooked in quick time.

By the late 1940s, the consumer pressure-cooker market took off. Almost overnight there were eleven different manufacturers offering eighty-five different pressure saucepans. As we entered the 1990s, many baby boomers that had never used a pressure cooker began to discover the benefits of pressure-cooker cooking. In the effort to create flavorful foods faster, a resurgence of the pressure cooker is evolving. Use of the Maxi Matic USA Elite Platinum 8 Quart Digital Pressure Cooker offers a great deal of features that were missing from earlier models. Thus, this electric countertop system is an efficient use of energy and time for delicious food preparation. It's your turn to try using a pressure cooker for your meals.
