Which is better, pressure cooker or electric pressure cooker?

Pressure cookers and electric pressure cookers are cooking tools. They use high pressure to shorten the cooking time and keep the nutrition and taste of the ingredients. The following are their respective characteristics:

1. Pressure cooker: Pressure cooker is a traditional pressure cooker, which generates steam by heating, thus increasing the internal pressure, thus increasing the boiling point of water and accelerating the cooking speed. Pressure cookers usually need to be heated by gas or induction cooker.

Advantages:

Simple and easy to use, relatively simple operation.

The price is relatively low.

Suitable for all kinds of stewing processes.

Disadvantages:

Need to manually adjust the firepower and time.

Temperature control is not as accurate as electric pressure cooker.

Manual pressure stabilization is required.

2. Electric pressure cooker: The electric pressure cooker is an upgraded version of the pressure cooker. It integrates electric heating elements and intelligent control system, which can automatically adjust temperature and pressure, and is more powerful and convenient.

Advantages:

The cooking process is fully automatic, intelligently controlling temperature and pressure.

Temperature and pressure control is more accurate.

More diversified functions, such as preset recipes, heat preservation and other functions.

Disadvantages:

The price is higher.

Need to be connected to the power supply.

Some electric pressure cookers may have problems in reliability or durability.

To sum up, pressure cookers and electric pressure cookers have their own characteristics and applicable scenarios. If you pay attention to the convenient and intelligent cooking experience and are willing to invest more money, the electric pressure cooker is a good choice. And if you pay more attention to the price and simple operation, and are willing to manually adjust the firepower and time, then the traditional pressure cooker can also meet your needs. The final choice depends on personal preferences and actual needs.
