"When it comes to pressure cookers there is only one name that people across India trust....this versatile cooking utensil has reduced the burden of the housewife and made cooking a lot easier....The Prestige Deluxe works on any type of fuels: Gas, Kerosene, Electric hot plate, Charcoal/Sigree and induction hob."

 

- Owner's manual for a TTK Prestige Deluxe Pressure Cooker, recently purchased on Amazon

 

 

The thing cooked pre-soaked pinto beans in 3 minutes flat. Un-pressurized cook time for same runs about 1.5 hours.

The manual keeps going on and on about all the redundant safety features.

 

I guess a lot of Indians are killed by pressure cookers.

But if you cover the pressure relief valve they cook even faster.

My mother had this ancient aluminum (highly prized at the time due to war time shortages of aluminum) pressure cooker that she would reduce any and all vegetable matter to the consistency of mush. I stayed out of the kitchen when she used that thing, I was certain one day it would blow up the house.

English

Hindi

Tamil

Kannada (eh?)

Come to think of it, all house plants do is kick back.
