[Electronics-Talk] Pressure Cookers

[Cook, Shannon]

The electric one I have is a Cook's Essentials brand from QVC.  It has actual buttons that beep when pressed.  The release valve can be switched for a quick release, or you can leave it for a slow release.  It is super safe and very accessible.  You can use it as a slow cooker, steamer, rice cooker, and some more.   You can also set it to start on a delay.  It is not used with an app, but that is not a drawback for me.  We really love it.  We use it in spells though.  I hope this will help you decide.

Subject: [Electronics-Talk] Pressure Cookers

 

Good afternoon everyone,

 

                I came across some books on Bookshare.org concerning pressure cookers. I know there are pressure cookers one can use on the stove but am curious to know if there are any electric ones and how usable they are by the blind. I recall when I was at Perkins in the 1970s that only students with residual vision were taught to use pressure cookers. Yup this is the nation's premier school for the blind caving into the higherarchy of sight. Shame on them!

 

                I found some books and videos about using a pressure cooker from America's Test Kitchen and from none other than Jacque Peppin. Leave it to the personal chef of French President Charles Degaul to observe that one can tell how high the pressure is by listening to the intensity of the hiss the unit makes a technique a blind cook can use to use pressure cookers safely and with ease.

 

                Pressure cookers have come along ways since I was in school and there are other tips and tricks blind persons have figured out to use them independently. Sindce the focus here is electronics any feedback about electric pressure cookers and how they can be used by the blind will be very much appreciated. All the best.
