The Settings
Pressure cooking is a perfect way to
cook a variety of foods in a faster and
more effective way. It works by locking
in the steam within the appliance,
maintaining a higher level of heat and
in the process, locking in the flavours
and juices.
The Pressure Express has 6 settings as
well as a sauté setting that enables the
meat and vegetables required for the
recipe to be cooked in one pot.
