Hello all, I recently purchased a Prestige microwavable pressure cooker while in India, and have been using it for a while now. One can cook vegetable, curry, sambar, rice and everything else one cooks with a normal pressure cooker in it, without the risk of food falling out or the gasket leaking. This cooker is however very accessible. It has a button-like pressure valve on the top, which protrudes when the pressure is high. On removing the cooker from the microwave, one can feel this protruding button. Once the button reverts to its normal flat position, the cooker is safe to be opened. The gasket apparently lasts a couple of years. Also, until the entire pressure is out, the lid stays put on the cooker and cannot be opened, even if the button has returned to its flat position, thereby precluding chances of the cooker bursting.
For those who wish to use a cooker but are not comfortable with a normal pressure cooker, this is a viable alternative. Geetha Get numbers right this time, help the census with correct disability info!
