Pressure cooker is a mini volcano in your house, it will get hyper and heated and within moments will whistle for exhaustion and also as a sign of cooked food inside. Beware Pressure cooker can also become a mini Atom Bomb and blast your food as a paint on the walls of your kitchen.
Worst Case Scenarios if the things go wrong.....
1) The biryani or pullaav will blow off and occupy all the spaces in the kitchen. Your wall will be painted in White Rice instead of Asian Paints.
2) The sound will make everyone sit up and take notice. The sleeping baby will start crying, Your Chowkidaar or watchman will think of some burglary. Neighbours will jump on you for Kya Hua Kya Hua.
3) Police will be called in suspicion of Terrorist attack. You will be probed by the CBI and then FBI and then the War Against terror will be raged against you.
4) CIA will label you terrorist and you will under serious punishment.
So See one bad day with the Pressure cooker and all the things go for a Toss. Your dreams are shattered. Life turns into hell and nothing remains. So friends and people please please and double triple more pleases Do Take care of your Pressure Cooker (This is in sync with Amitabh Bachchan, the way he ends his shows on KBC) :D
So lets see what kamaal can you do with your pressure cooker.
First the Blah Blah...
1) Optimum water level
2) Whistle ubber ring closing the lid check
3) Stainless steel compulsary
4) It boils doesnt fries.
5) Change the cooker in atleast 3 years
5) Check for autolids nowadays available by Hawkins and Prestige.
Now lets explain....
Water has to be optimum or else you dont have adequate steam to boil the food down. Imagine you putting damn less water and put a nice Toor Daal in the cooker...what happens you get Big Bolders of Toor and it ends up being Channa Masala and not a daal. Guys there is a difference in chole and daal ok. So keep water up. Dont overflow the water else Daal will become a Soup. In Old cooker and simple cookers rubber ring has to be of good quality it doesnt allow the steam to go out except from the whistle. This helps better cooking. Cooker is strictly for boiling things dont cook omlette or fry fish in it...else well try it and then see what happens. Nowadays lot of technological advanced and teflon coated cookers are available in the market especially from Hawkins and Prestige.
Finally...
Cooker's sitti has to be good like a Chuk Chuk gaadi train. If its strong and sounding that way then fine well n good else if its lame and weak...Nope your cooker needs a check. Remember if used effectively it will serve you well.
Wash the cooker with Lime...it helps quick boiling and quick cooking. Also cover the containers of the food to keep it in cooker or else your Daal and Chawal will be mixed before hand.
So keep some tips handy and enjoy the Pressure of Pressure Cooker.
Chalo Tata. :D
