I recently received Preethi Electric Pressure Cooker and I decided to make an easy Millet Khichdi in it. I love cooking in pressure cooker. It could be a simple rice, curry or even a cake. So, I was more excited to try out a dish in Preethi Electric Pressure Cooker. I’m glad that I own this cooker and is my partner in daily cooking.
I have used electric rice cooker earlier. It has its limits as the seasoning (tadka) for curry or biryani cannot be done in it. Preethi Electric Pressure Cooker changed my perspective. I’m sharing a quick video and you will see the magic for yourself. It is perfect to cook one-pot meals like pongal, khichdi, pilaf etc. Check out the video for Millet khichdi and see for yourself how easy it is to use Preethi Electric Pressure Cooker.
Few of the features which I loved in Preethi electric cooker are :-
- 5 liter 8-in-1 Programmable Pressure Cooker – Cook biryani, rice, gravy, meat, curry, pongal, idli, legumes like chickpeas or rajma using the set programs. You can even cook the seasoning in it and cook up to 1 kg of rice.
- 3 adjustable food texture options – This option gives you the liberty to cook dish in your choice of texture. For example – I would prefer the rice to be mushy for a baby and biryani to be more coarse.
- Freedom from Pressure Cooker Whistle – I can set the program and carry on with other work. No need to stand near the stove anymore or worry about spilling.
- Keep-warm mode – Once the dish is cooked, it automatically comes to keep-warm mode and it holds the temperature of the food until you are ready to serve.
- Non Stick Al Pan – I don’t have to worry about rice or curry sticking at the bottom of the pan.
- Easy to handle and clean
- On-demand – You can even cook other dishes than those available in preset menu. You can adjust timer and texture in it.
