I work hard on weekdays and do my best to do the housework on holidays. If you are busy every day, why not make your meal as simple as possible?

Although I like cooking itself, the author who has fallen into such a state paid attention to the electric pressure cooker . Although the pressure cooker shortens the time, there was an image that it was "difficult to handle" and "scary", but since it uses electricity, the basic "relaxation" is fine.

Therefore, this time, I would like to review the menu, usability, maintenance method, etc. that can be actually done using the new model of the pressure cooker manufacturer Wonder Chef!

The size is about a rice cooker

The main body size is W304 x D270 x H278 mm, and the weight is 3.7 kg. It can be installed if there is enough space to put a rice cooker.

The cooking pot has a design similar to that of a rice cooker pot. It is light and fluorinated so it is easy to handle, and comes with a glass lid, recipe book, rice scoop, and "steaming".

Rice is less than 30 minutes without flooding!

First, check your ability with rice. I used it on weekday nights when I just ran out of frozen rice stock and wanted to eat rice as soon as possible.

Cut the rice in a container such as a bowl and put it in a pressure cooker with water.


After closing the lid, set the cooking time in pressure mode and start. With standard hardness, it only takes 5 minutes!


The rice is completed in about 25 minutes in total, including the steaming time. The surface was glossy and the inside was chewy and delicious. By the way, timer reservation is also possible with the new model.

Exquisite menu just to leave

However, I think that many households already have a rice cooker, so I'm still curious about the dishes that are unique to pressure cookers.

For example, if you want to make curry quickly, you need to cut the ingredients into small pieces, but if you use a pressure cooker, you can cut it boldly.


First simmer in pressure mode for 10 minutes, then add roux at the end for additional heat. It will be completed in about 45 minutes.





I was worried if the potatoes were simmered well, but it was a little bit inside. The onions are so melted that almost no shape remains, and the meat is simmered surprisingly softly. Perhaps because the flavor of the ingredients had melted, I felt it was more delicious than usual even though I only added roux!


Next is Kakuni, which I wanted to make someday. First, boil the pork rose block in water for 12 minutes, add the seasoning and simmer for 12 minutes, and it will be completed in about an hour and a half. During this time, it is almost left as it is except for adding the broth on the way.




Just by chewing thick meat, it crumbles softly and the taste is firmly absorbed into the inside including eggs. Oh, the rice doesn't stop ...!

Make sure to check the procedure until you get used to it.

It is very attractive that the preparation is as much as cutting the material and it takes almost no effort. However, it is a pressure cooker. Since the pressure is high during cooking, it is necessary to observe some points such as how to close the lid and when to open it. Until you get used to it, be sure to read the manual every time, even if it is troublesome.


Also, although the actual heating time is short, it takes about 10 minutes for the pressure to be applied and about 15 minutes for it to be released. It's nice to be able to cook another dish in the meantime because it doesn't block the stove, but be aware that it doesn't mean you can do it dramatically faster.

During cooking, it is quiet enough to make you worried, "Is it really moving?" Other than the electronic sound that notifies the end. The care is about the inner pot and the pressure lid parts, so it gives the same impression as other cooking appliances. However, if you neglect it, it may cause a malfunction, so don't forget to do it.

I want to use it for making holidays

For the author who usually works, it seems that it can be used efficiently if it is used such as making it with a wonder chef while doing housework and cooking on holidays. By the way, the actual price is 18,000 yen, which is more affordable than buying a good rice cooker or hot pot, but the finished dish is so good that you can't think you made it. If you are new to cooking or are wondering whether to buy an ordinary pressure cooker, why not consider it?
