San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/30/2013 -- Pressure cookers are a convenient way to cook food. Pressure cookers can be used to cook all different types of cuisines, including beans, pork chops, beef stew, and more. However, with so many different pressure cooker brands available today, consumers often have difficulty choosing the best one for their needs.

That’s a problem that PressureCookerCritics.com seeks to solve. At PressureCookerCritics.com, visitors will find a wide range of pressure cooker reviews. The website recently released its picks for the top three best pressure cookers in the world, including the best electric pressure cooker, the best-rated pressure cooker, and the best-priced pressure cooker available online today.

These recommendations were based on consumer feedback to the pressure cookers. Each cooker is accompanied with a rating out of 5 stars designed to help even the most novice chef pick the perfect product for their needs.

Many people have never purchased a pressure cooker before in their lives. That’s why, as a spokesperson for PressureCookerCritics.com explains, the website also lists specific pressure cooker features to look out for:

“We understand that not everyone owns – or has owned – a pressure cooker. Many visitors to our site are completely new to comparing and rating pressure cookers. For that reason, our site features a section entitled ‘Features to Look For’ where we explain the most important qualities to pay attention to when shopping for pressure cookers. We explain how to choose the right regulators, cover interlocks, cooking racks, and handles, among other qualities.”

Specifically, the ‘Features to Look For’ guide explains that there are three types of regulators from which to choose, including:

-Weighted valve pressure regulators
-Modified weighted valve pressure regulators
-Spring valve pressure regulators

Together, these regulators control steam pressure inside the pressure cooker. Spring value pressure regulators are more expensive, but they are also quieter and easier to fine-tune for cooking.

Meanwhile, there are also certain types of pressure cooker qualities that should be avoided at all costs. The PressureCookerCritics.com spokesperson explains what those qualities are:

“We recommend shoppers stay away from aluminum pressure cookers because they pit over time. Pitting captures food particles and can breed germs. In addition, aluminum is far less durable than other pressure cooker materials, which can actually be a major safety concern when using the cooker. We also recommend avoiding non-stick interiors in pressure cookers, which can degrade over time and release dangerous fumes.”

Whether buying a pressure cooker for the first time or simply trying to replace an old cooker, PressureCookerCritics.com aims to make shopping for pressure cookers as easy as possible.
