Therefore, first of all, in the store you need to carefully study the information about the manufacturer yourself, and not blindly believe the words of the seller.

• The material of manufacture. Some manufacturers produce pressure cookers not only in stainless steel, but also in aluminum. Therefore, before buying, you should make sure that the items you purchase are indeed made of stainless steel.
• Options and instructions. Be sure to make sure that the pressure cooker is equipped as indicated by the manufacturer. The instruction should be detailed and accurately describing the operation and maintenance of the device.
• Capacity of the pan itself - one of the key selection criteria. The larger the family and the more often it is planned to use a pressure cooker, the greater should be its capacity.
