Mechanical pressure cooker (Soviet)

And somewhere on our website (I've read it for a long time) it is described how people smoke in such a pressure cooker.

and baked even in such pressure cookers.

Now there are such pressure cookers on sale. I want one for myself (due to the rise in electricity prices)

Such a beauty . I bought mine about 6 years ago. But not so pretty.

do you want aluminum?

There are domestic pressure cookers in the tekhnosonde. Chelyabinsk is called miracle 65d, it costs about 3000

do you want aluminum?

No, this is stainless steel. That's why I want her.

We have a lot of these pressure cookers and not expensive at all, but I'm so afraid of them. It can open during cooking if you close something incorrectly.

Listen, what nonsense! What can be closed there incorrectly? Previously, many had pressure cookers, had ears that held the lid, my mother had just one. I had another one, I did not like it, there was a spring on the handle, it had to be pressed and turned. If you close it incorrectly, it simply won't build up pressure. And that's all.

I want this

I have one, I use it in the country. The old Soviet rubber gasket is already hardened, and this one pleases. I bought it two years ago in Auchan.

What nonsense!

Do not be accused of stupidity, not knowing everything.
It was at the dawn of marriage, when the husband's father gave his pressure cooker for use. Estessno at the age of 20, I did not know that somehow it was necessary to close this saucepan correctly and wash the valve, in general, I must say. I had no idea that some kind of pressure was being formed there. The father-in-law told how to use it and the first chicken turned out to be very edible, the second number was stuffed cabbage rolls. I can't remember exactly now. either in the process of cooking, or when opening, the lid was sharply demolished and the whole kitchen was in stuffed cabbage and I was not so sickly burned.
The miracle saucepan was given back to dad and since then I am terrified of all pressure cookers put together and even electric ones.
Here, Arab shops are littered with such pressure cookers, in my opinion they cook something national in them. I look at them .. oh, it's somehow scary to experience such a thing again.

No, I don't blame anyone for anything! Mom and I also had a similar case with her sc. Why did we have to cook noodle soup in it, I don't know. We used to manually release the pressure to open early. They tilted the valve to the side, held it and that's it. And then I took it off for some reason. A girl still byoa, about 15. Noodles climbed through the valve. Solid. We still don't understand: HOW? I climbed for a long time, I ran from the kitchen, closed the door. And then the noodles hung from the ceiling!

Olga, seem to be. if used correctly, it’s not a bad thing, but I’m afraid of them

I'm afraid of them

and me too. Childhood memories - whistling all over the apartment and running out of the kitchen. Mom didn't touch her anymore

I have one like Iziumka. Wonderful!
True, they are very expensive on sale.
It was presented to us when we arrived in Israel.
I don't cook often, I don't cook cabbage rolls and I don't understand,
how they are cooked in a pressure cooker. It is needed for those
dishes that take a long time to cook - jellied meat, tongue,
some vegetables.
There was a cast-iron one with ears in Minsk, there is a photo of it on the website.
But it is very heavy and we did not take it with us.
As for meat, you need to know how to cook it.
First, throw into boiling water, remove foam, drain water,
rinse the meat and the pressure cooker, then cook again,
adding the desired vegetables or herbs. Wait for it to boil
if there is a little foam, remove and close.
Any foam must be removed before cooking.

My mother-in-law and I had aluminum pressure cookers (I don't know about my mother-in-law, but mine is in the closet, workable), my mother-in-law had one long handle, at the end of the handle there was a fastener (a steel loop was put on the hook), and me round with plastic handles and a handle with a spring on the lid, where the lid is inserted into the oval cutout-top of the pressure cooker. Both lids were inserted as if sideways.
Great pressure cookers! When I bought (pulled out at work) my pressure cooker, my mother-in-law began to use it at the dacha (my father-in-law lives there constantly, so this is not a dacha at all, but a house), but in Moscow she used mine. She was so unhappy when I was leaving and took my pressure cooker with me (I got used to the fact that there are pressure cookers here and there), and I continued to use the pressure cooker with pleasure at home. And since I bought a pressure cooker, I have never cooked vegetables for vinaigrette salads in water on an ordinary stove! I always cook and steam in a pressure cooker (sometimes I cook some vegetables in a microwave). Then I loved to cook (now I just rarely cook) pea porridge-puree in a pressure cooker
Among my acquaintances, for some reason I don’t remember that someone would have a pressure cooker And it’s good that I didn’t know about any pressure cooker explosions, I used it calmly and with pleasure! I brought the pressure cooker to a hiss on the fire, made the fire (heating) small (so that it sizzled quietly) and that's it, waiting for the dish to be ready. It never occurred to me to forcibly relieve the pressure! As I read in the instructions, I did so, it says sideways to gently place the pressure cooker under a stream of cold water to cool and relieve pressure
Therefore, I never understood why someone exploded
Until I bought an electric pressure cooker, I used it on the stove and was very happy with it.
I even remember stewed meat and canned fish in it.

sideways gently place pressure cooker under cold running water to cool down and relieve pressure

I don’t remember at all that we put the pressure cooker under the water and washed the valve, so the stuffed cabbage was probably flying through the kitchen

Vikul, it's scary to think!
And I lived in blissful ignorance that this could happen. And she cooked in a pressure cooker and on gas (with her husband-mother-in-law) and on an electric stove at home. It's good that I didn't know, otherwise I would probably also be afraid of pressure cookers.

would also be afraid of pressure cookers.

yes, definitely!
Therefore, many adore pressure cookers so much, and someone is afraid of them. but as everyone assures. that with electric such things do not happen.
Until she gave her friend her Shteba, she cooked broth in it, well, magically, of course! did not play off anything .. to approach her was afraid in the process.
And now I miss Little Red Riding Hood.

why did you break up with her? she's a good pressure cooker!

a friend was here from Israel, they have it problematic to buy it or you have to pay for the shipment .. well, she "robbed" me a little and said, here's the money, buy yourself another, and I'll take this and soooo happy!

not a bad thing, but I'm afraid of them

Vic I have two of these. Very safe ... We had a lot of pressure cookers, we have something to compare with. If you are suddenly going to buy a pressure cooker, then pay attention to. tefal clipso. or just Tefal. Umamy is just such a Tefal, she has been plowing just this way for 16 years already .. though they are expensive. mine, the photo below is for 50 euros ..

And we were not afraid of the pressure cooker! Well, just think, noodles on the ceiling, it was once. And the valve was vented, so the instructions, apparently, it was written, if you need to open faster, then bleed the pressure manually. And we cooked in it constantly, and soups, and jellied meat. Then the valve seemed to be lost during the repair.

Never relieved the pressure like that. Only under running cold water .. or just cold water ..
We had how many of them in ancient times, nothing ever exploded. not once .. only at my aunt once, the pressure cooker with the valve at the top. She immediately threw it away and bought it with a regular valve.

Well, not true! Israel is full of pressure cookers, only they cost $ 100.
and more.
I cooked it for vinaigrette in a pressure cooker in Minsk. In Israel, vegetables are cooked on the stove for 20 minutes,
since they are young.
But the thing is good. But I don't respect electric ones, since they take a lot of electricity.
And we have it expensive.

But I don't respect electric ones, as they take a lot of electricity.
And we have it expensive.

An electric stove consumes more electricity than an electric pressure cooker! It is a fact!
We only have electric stoves in our house, gas is not supplied, so either electric stoves or multicooker / pressure cooker. And with them it is much cheaper. I will throw out the electric stove at the slightest opportunity.

And I'll throw it out !!

[valushka-s]

Israel is full of pressure cookers

I'm not saying that there are no pressure cookers in Israel, but there are definitely no Shteba, And her spectacular appearance struck down her friend She, too, is a little sick on devices, but not to the same extent as we who are gathered here.
valushka-s, We are already living in a new apartment for a year. I used the electric stove 3-4 times, no more, I baked something in it. Well, there is absolutely no desire to cook in her, and although she baked me very well, she would not mind if there was an additional cabinet instead.

AnnaBut you know how I "got sick" all over my head with devices. Thanks to your favorite forum! to pay for electricity became less.
We lived in Israel, here in Belgium it is more expensive, like everyone else. services. You, mainly, in the summer, have electricity from the mazgan and the electric pressure cooker will not increase the payment

Galina, Check mark! Thanks for the advice! But .. I will revive for now: pardon: only if some masterpieces fly in this topic. Or they will teach you how to smoke or something ...

Girls, I also had a Soviet aluminum pressure cooker with a long handle, which was put on a loop when the handle was pressed. At first, I listened with fear to the whistle from under the valve, and then I got used to it and was very pleased with it. And the pressure was relieved, if it was necessary urgently, only under cold water. I used it for 100 years, bought new rubber gaskets when they failed. And then the gaskets ran out and we slowly stopped using it. I don't even know where they took her. I wanted to buy a multicooker-pressure cooker, and then another rise in the price of electricity by 50% (and not the last, as they say). So I drew attention to her. Already found in the internet for ~ 32 dollars. I will take

Of course, if email. stove or el. pressure cooker, you can make a choice.
But we have gas burners and gas is cheaper than electricity.
Therefore, I do not start a pressure cooker and electric cartoons.

Anna, I don't have an electric stove .. but a gas hob. I will not convince you, but neither the multicooker nor the pressure cooker will change your bills. Well, you will not fry and soar in them all day and night.
But definitely. everyone chooses what he considers more acceptable for himself.

Of course, if email. stove or el. pressure cooker, you can make a choice.

This is understandable if electricity is expensive.
But if "time is money", then the slow cooker greatly saves and simplifies life.
Girls often cook milk or water porridge on the timer at night, and until the morning the porridge "rebukes" to the desired condition (each has its own taste) or simply set the timer so that the porridge is ready by a certain hour, which means that in the morning the family will be fed with delicious porridge, and the hostess will either sleep a little longer, or spend such precious time on herself in the morning, without unnecessary tense twitching and running from the kitchen to the bathroom (or somewhere else in the apartment). That is, you make your life easier for not so much money.
Or maybe they came home from work sooo tired (and then go and stand at the stove) and turned on the multicooker (even a simple, but tasty dish, some kind of duty one), and sat down, lay down, plunged into a bubble bath ... And the cartoon will prepare a meal and stand on the heating until you get ready to the table.
Therefore, having a multicooker at home is very convenient even for those who have gas. After all, it is not necessary to cook in it all day, you can use it as needed and desired.

I have a girlfriend, once in the 90s she bought an imported electric kettle for a lot of money at that time (and she had gas), she didn't have much extra money, I was surprised and asked what it was all of a sudden (after all, then in stores a lot of interesting things appeared besides the kettle), but everything turned out to be very simple, to save money. The reason was that in her absence at home, the husband put a kettle on the stove and safely forgot it there until it turned black and charred. And so not one, and not two teapots, and not even one teapot with a whistle were ruined. So this expensive kettle turned out to be her salvation from wasting money and to avoid a fire!
So everything is relative! Money (for a kettle + electricity) in exchange for peace of mind and savings on kettles and a possible fire at home !!!
By the way, that kettle turned out to be of such high quality, and it worked for many, many years. There are no such people now!
I also try not to waste money and electricity just like that. Without fanaticism, but ... I often cook broths at night, if occasionally I cook in a slow cooker, then I also put them overnight, if I bake bread in a bread maker (sometimes in other devices), then also more often after 23-00, wash (if there is no need for urgent wash during the day) also at night ... this is how you save on trifles (in the daytime tariffs are 4-49 and 3-71, and at night from 23-00 to 7-00 1-15)

And you can take a regular pressure cooker until I got an electric one, and I enjoyed using the cooker with pleasure. (although you won't go far from the stove, you need to look after and use it correctly, with an electric one is easier)

See what yummy can be portrayed in a simple pressure cooker!

Virgo .. I need advice .. I'm sitting thinking and can't make up my mind ..
I have a pressure cooker .. usual, still Soviet, I use it very regularly and love it anxiously, but it is HEALTHY !! Liters for 7 .. we now live together, the children are already adults, they live separately with their families and I don't often need such a large volume, only during the harvesting season and for jellied meat ...
There was a question about buying a pressure cooker of a smaller volume .. So, now I sit and think, should I buy a regular pressure cooker? Or buy a multicooker pressure cooker ??
Or, in general, buy a multicooker separately, a separate pressure cooker?
