Cooking is one of the most intimate things a partner can do. Even with little cooking skills, the pressure cooker can save you lots of time by making a quick one-pot meal. Simply throw in ingredients, press some buttons and come back in less than 40 minutes to a delicious complete meal like soup, stew or vegetables. It’s a very handy kitchen gadget as it serves as a pressure cooker, rice cooker, steamer or slow cooker.

Less time in the kitchen, more time with your special one.
