High heat and a short cooking time means pressure-cooked food retains more nutrients compared to other cooking methods. So healthier meals are faster and easier to make.

Reinvent yesterday’s ingredients with interchangeable cooking plates, versatile settings, and a temperature probe that helps you cook food the way you like.

The titanium-coated stainless steel blades slice through food easily, and the spring-loaded design makes shredded pork and chicken a cinch.

It combines the strength and durability of steel with the superior heat conduction of aluminum—just like the pans professionals choose.

Easy Chicken Dinner

Pressure cook 2-4 lbs. chicken. While the chicken cooks, prep and roast bell peppers and prepare the orzo according to the package. When the chicken is done cooking, chop it all up and set aside about half for another meal. Put the remaining chicken back into the pressure cooker with your favorite barbecue sauce and simmer until it’s all combined. Then add the chicken, orzo, and roasted bell peppers to a bowl and dinner is served!

Chicken Quesadillas

There are so many ways to use leftover chicken—chicken salad, paninis, soups, fajitas, and tacos. Sandy’s quesadillas take almost no time. Warm up leftover bell peppers and chopped chicken with black beans on a griddle for a few minutes until warm. Add the warm filling to tortillas shells with cheese and fold in half. Close our griddle and cook for two to three minutes.
