I was sent a Cosori 6 quart 8-in-1 Pressure Cooker to review but all opinions remain 100% my own.
WHAT IS A PRESSURE COOKER?
If you guys have been a regular reader on my site, you’ll know that I am a big fan of getting dinner on the table quickly. That’s why I am such a fan of using a pressure cooker.
So what are the pros of pressure cooking?
- allows you to cook food at a higher temperature than you’d be able to through stovetop boiling.
- preserves 90-95% of your food’s vitamins using a pressure cooker.
A few months ago, Cosori was kind enough to send me their 6 Quart 8-1- Pressure Cooker to review. Having already owned an Instant Pot for a few years, I wanted to see how other pressure cookers compared.
