1912
Midland Metal Spinners was founded by
George Cadman, who was then 65 years old, as
a metal holloware manufacturing company, in St.
Mark’s Street, Wolverhampton. They later moved
into the Tower and Fort Works in Pelham Street,
which ultimately gave rise to the famous Tower
brand name.
1937
Tower exhibited some of their latest holloware
designs at the British Industries Fair. As you can
see from the original poster, their stand No. A410
must have been a great sight as it promoted their
“Beautiful, inexpensive, untarnishable Plate, at
prices all can afford to pay”.
1961
Tower became one of the largest
manufacturers of aluminium holloware, electric
kettles, tea pots and other household articles with
over 1,000 employees.
1974
Russell Hobbs took ownership of the
expanding Tower brand.
Join the pressure cooker revolution
Tower pressure cookers cook foods in about a third
of the time, preserve 95 per cent of the vitamins,
use almost 90 per cent less fuel and lock in all the
flavour. Use your Digital Pressure Cooker with its
non-stick pot to brown, boil, steam, braise, stew
and roast. Perfect for vegetables, meat, fruits, fish
and grains.
Pressure cooking is the process of cooking food,
using water or other cooking liquid, in a sealed
vessel known as a pressure cooker. Pressure
cookers help to seal all nutrients in the food and
save energy by cooking up to 3 times faster than
conventional cooking methods.
Pressure cookers heat food quickly because the
internal steam pressure from the boiling liquid
causes saturated steam (or “wet steam”) to
bombard and cook the food. They quickly simulate
the effects of simmering, braising and other
techniques. Two main things happen with high
pressure steam - the boiling point of the water in
the pot raises which in turn cooks food faster and
the pressure raises, forcing liquid into the food.
When liquid and moisture is forced into the food
quickly, not only does it cook the food faster, it also
helps improve the cooking of certain foods, such
as making meat very tender.
In conventional cooking, water boils at 100° at
standard pressure and the water evaporates as
steam. In a pressure cooker, the trapped steam
causes the internal temperature and pressure to
rise resulting in superheated water. After use, the
pressure is slowly released so that the vessel can
be safely opened.
