Mirro Pressure Cooker 6 Quart
This is an economy Mirro speed cooker. You will be able to use this one in your home but should avoid using it in restaurant because it simply doesn't offer enough room for larger meals. What is great about this Mirro pressure cooker is that it cuts your cooking time by 70%. You will have more time to spend with your loved ones instead of standing in a hot kitchen and waiting for food to be cooked.
Besides speed, this Mirror pressure cooker will retain healthy nutrients in food you cook which is usually lost in conventional type of cooking. Your vegetables will have different taste s well as your meat, which will surprise anyone who tries your cooking. With pressure cookers, you really put your cooking on a different level - it is fast AND more tasty.
One more important thing is that these type of cookware are extremely safe. There is an automatic control of temperature so nothing can happen while you cook your food. Mirro pressure cooker has a safety overpressure valve and safety window which will release steam if the temperature gets too high. With aluminum casket and sealing alloy it is impossible to find a flaw in this cooker.
Another important thing you need to know is that these pressure cookers are not recommended to be used on glass top ranges. That is because they are manufactured with concave bottom, which means that a large area of the bottom isn't actually in contact with heat source. This prevents the transfer of heat so the Mirror pressure cooker doesn't come up to pressure if it is used on a flat top range.
Take your time and decide is this Mirro Pressure Cooker 6 Quart a perfect choice for you or not. Whatever you decide, you will always get the benefits of steam cooking and that is something pressure cooker will always be famous for.
I recently purchased a Mirror 8qt.,stainless steel model at a garage sale and found that it had a bulging bottom. (found out this is a normal feature) I have a ceramic top on my stove and cannot use the cooker. Is there anything I can buy or something that will allow me to use the cooker?

The warping (bulging) on the bottom of the pan is not a normal feature--we add that ourselves! It is, however, very common. Pressure cookers are usually made from cast aluminum, a relatively soft metal. Pressure cookers are often exposed to extremes in temperatures, since running them under water is the recommended way to stop the cooking process and prevent overcooked food (DO NOT DO THIS TO A PRESSURE CANNER!!!). This causes the metal to expand and contract and causes warping. Over the past several years the gauge, or thickness, of the material used to make pressure cookers has decreased as manufacturers seek to make more economical products. In order to partially compensate for this, recent models have a recessed bottom, which allows a greater degree of warping to occur before the pan is no longer usable. Since warping of the pan is permanent, there is really nothing you can do to make it usable on a smooth top range, which is probably the reason it was at a garage sale;)
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me how to care for the gasket for my large pressure cooker. It will hold 7 quarts canning jars, but the gasket sticks so tightly that it is near impossible to open. Do you have a solution for this problem?jbpinnow@windstream.net
