About Pressure Cooking Guide
Mission Statement
Pressure Proof: We turn confusing specs and cook times into clear, repeatable choices—so busy, budget‑conscious cooks get dependable results with any stovetop or electric pressure cooker.
Our Brand Story
Pressure Cooking Guide began with a simple frustration: the same bag of beans could be perfect one week and mealy the next, and “cook time” never matched the real time to eat. We set out to replace vague advice with a single, trustworthy system that standardizes times, pressures, and release methods across brands and models. Today, we publish tested time–thickness maps, altitude and release‑method adjustments, and energy‑per‑meal scores so you always know what to expect and how to get it safely.
We measure what most guides skip: preheat and release durations, error recovery steps, and maintenance costs over the life of a cooker. Our tools—like the Cooker Fit Finder and Timing Converter—turn data into confident decisions, whether you’re choosing your first electric model, upgrading from stovetop, or dialing in meal‑prep staples for the week.
What We Stand For
- Safety first, always: pre‑cook checks, liquid minimums, and venting protocols are baked into every guide.
- Clarity over hype: real‑world outcomes (speed, consistency, texture, and cost) matter more than spec sheets.
- Access for every kitchen: small spaces, tight budgets, and busy schedules deserve dependable, affordable results.
Our Team
- Test Lead & Method Engineer: Oversees time–thickness mapping, pressure and temperature instrumentation, and repeatability studies across altitudes and pot sizes.
- Food Safety Advisor: Certified in food safety and HACCP; reviews bean, poultry, stock, and leftover protocols and verifies safe cooling/reheat workflows.
- Budget Meal‑Prep Cook: Stress‑tests set‑and‑forget templates, batch scaling, and pot‑in‑pot methods for predictable weekday meals.
- Appliance Technician: Evaluates build quality, gasket/ring longevity, spare‑part availability, and real maintenance costs across brands.
- Data Analyst: Maintains the Timing Converter and Fit Finder, validates altitude/release adjustments, and publishes methodology notes.
How We Help You Succeed
- Standardized timing tables that include preheat and release, so “total time to eat” is predictable.
- Reliable conversions for altitude, capacity, batch size, and release method.
- Fail‑proof staples and troubleshooting for BURN errors, sealing issues, and over/undercooked textures—plus a minimal, data‑backed gear list.
