"The pressure cooker is a great time saving tool," explains Chef Sang Yoon, restaurateur, chef and culinary trendsetter. "At home, I always use it for potatoes and corn. Not just for the speed, but for flavor. The flavor is much more intense. It will almost be like tasting a potato for the first time."

Enjoy faster, tastier, and healthier cooking with Swiss-made Kuhn Rikon Duromatic^® Pressure Cookers. Easy to use, it reduces cooking times by up to 66% versus conventional cooking.

The result is perfectly cooked, delicious and healthy meals made with less fats and oils.

"To me, the pressure cooker not only gives me a speed advantage but also a way to impact flavors," explains Yoon. "I like to take a favorite braised meat recipe and prepare in the pressure cooker," he adds. "It takes less than half the time to prepare, yet all the flavors are more heightened."
