Pressure cookers can be a fantastic way to prepare a meal with the ease of a slow cooker but at a much faster rate. The makers of the Power Pressure Cooker XL claim this device helps you cook one-pot dinners at up to 70% more quickly compared with traditional methods.
This pressure cooker runs about mid-range in prices for pressure cookers and has some notable features. So, we had to give the Power Pressure Cooker XL a review and see how it stacks up against the competition.
The Power Pressure Cooker XL has one-touch buttons for meat, fish, vegetables, beans, rice, and soup or stews. This is only about half as many smart cook features as most Instant Pot models, but still covers the basics and allows you to whip up a variety of meals.
In addition to its 6 built-in smark cook features, the Power Pressure Cooker XL also has canning capabilities that allow you to safely can fruit, vegetables, and more directly in this pressure cooker. The unit reaches 80-kPa/11.6 psi, which is the required pressure for canning. The Power Pressure Cooker XL can accommodate pint-size (16-ounce) jars or smaller — quart-size (32-ounce) jars will not fit inside.
Unlike the Instant Pot Duo, the Duo Plus model offers a blue easy-to-use LCD display interface. The display offers quick access to all of the Instant Pot's pre-programmed cook settings and provides key information like cook times, temperature, and more.
Like any good pressure cooker, the Power Pressure Cooker XL features a removable, non-stick inner pot. It's teflon-coated and textured for two non-stick elements. However, some Amazon buyers note that the non-stick surface starts to peel away after just a few uses.
The Power Pressure Cooker XL traps superheated steam inside the pot, which becomes a high-pressure environment that forces liquid and moisture into your food to lock in flavor and nutrients. This is a basic function of pressure cookers, but it's good to know that the Power Pressure Cooker XL emcompasses this important feature.
If you need to adjust the pressure of your Power Pressure Cooker XL, you can do so with the touch of a button on the digital display. Look for the "Pressure Adjust" button, which has a range of 10-80 kPa.
