You can know when you have reached the right cooker pressure by checking the temperature gauge. The right temperature would also depend on what you are cooking.

When baking cake in pressure cooker do you add water to pot and how much?

If you can successfully bake a cake in a "pressure cooker" be sure and let the rest of us know! I have NEVER heard of such a thing.


What will be the melting point of water in pressure cooker?

You haven't provided enough information, we need to know, at least, the pressure of said pressure cooker, and even then I'm not sure quite if it's possible. If you look up the phase diagram for water, you can see that the melting point goes down with more pressure.


What causes jars to break in pressure cooker?

Jars, presumably glass ones, can not withstand the pressures that a pressure cooker make. A pressure cooker increases the pressure in the pan, so you need a lower temperature and a shorter time to cook something, but jars burst when the pressure inside and outside the jar differ too much. It's best not to use them together.

Where can you find handles for a Revere Ware Pressure cooker Purchased in 1951?

------ I don't know exactly, I am researching about my Revere Pressure cooker and have found many people looking for parts. Apparently, Revere went bankrupt in 2002, but seems to have been bought out (?) by World Kitchen, which is marketing the Revere line, albeit, it seems offering only the most popular items. Possibly a visit to worldkitchen.com and an email inquiry might steer you in the right direction, or you'll just have to hunt around at thrift stores, craigslist, Ebay or your local junk auction house and estate sales. I know this isn't the best answer, but maybe it will steer you in the right direction. As I'm looking for Revere parts for my Revere pressure cooker, I'd like to know if someone else has any resources. ------ You can buy new replacement parts for the vintage era Revere Ware cookware now at http://www.reverewareparts.com, including handles, pressure cooker gaskets, screws and nuts, and lid knobs. I was a frustrated Revere Ware fan that couldn't find parts so I went and had them made. I also just (1/30/09) posted a link to a pdf of a Revere Ware pressure cooker manual: http://www.reverewareparts.com/estore/Vintage-4-Quart-Pressure-Cookers.html


How pressure cooker follows ideal gas equation?

we know that if the external pressure increases so the boiling point increases too therefore pressure cookers are used at higher altitudes where there are generally low external pressure so pressure cookers provide artificial pressure and food can be cooked earlier

Place the appropriate proportions of rice and water, plus a little salt in the cooker, then turn it on. Wait until the cooker indicates the cooking cycle is done, and voila, perfectly cooked rice.

How do you cook tamales in a pressure cooker?

Pressure cookers can be dangerous. You have to make sure the seal (gasket) is in good condition and that the valve is working if you are using one you got secondhand. There should be instruction manuals for many pressure cookers on the Internet.Basically pressure cookers build up heat because they are sealed so well. They cook food much faster than a normal pot - You can cook a roast in about 20 minutes. They are also used frequently in canning veggies and other nonacidic foods.There is a pressure gauge on the top. You have to let the pressure go down before opening the pot! Please don't use one until you know what you are doing or your least problem will be a huge mess.First inspect the pressure cooker tharoughly and ensure that there are no damages especially to the gasket and see that it is clean.Next, you also need to ensure that the vent pipe is open and clear for pressure cooker with weighted pressure regulator. Check recipe for specific cooking method and cooking time. If your recipe requires a rack place it to the bottom of the cooker.Add a 1/2 cup water to pot if you're using a cooker that has a weighted system. Add 1 cup for pressure cooker that uses valve system. This should be sufficient for 20 minutes of cooking time.Place the food on rack.With the weighted system cooker remove the regulator then close and secure the lid. The cover handle should be parallel to the body handle. Place the cooker on heat.Once the steam begins to exit the vent pipe, replace the regulator. The weight on top the lid will begin to rock once the cooker reaches cooking pressure.The valve system cooker has markings on the cooker that indicate the pressure levels. Once the indicator is at 15 PSI the cooker is at the standard cooking pressure.Now, lower the heat once the cooker is at the cooking pressure in order to maintain the pressure. Comeback and chek and adjust the heat setting periodically.Use the timer to time the recipe.Once the required time is passed, you can turn off the heat.Next, you need to release the pressure inside by allowing it to reduce on its own.Once the pressure is released the lid can be opened after the removing the regulator.Hope this helps.
