Made in Afghanistan How does the Afghan Pressure Cooker work? The Afghan pressure cooker works like other traditional pressure cookers by trapping the steam generated during the heating of the pot's contents. As steam accumulates, pressure increases, causing the boiling point of water to exceed 100°C. Generally, this higher temperature reduces cooking times, and due to less evaporation, flavor is extracted more efficiently from food. However, the Afghan pressure cooker differs from other pressure cookers in its external design, which is round with distinctive external coatings such as black, brown, or other colors depending on the model. The Afghan pressure cooker is usually made of thick aluminum alloy and also differs from traditional pressure cookers in metal thickness and lid locking mechanism. The Afghan pressure cooker is characterized by a locking handle with a comfortable grip that closes tightly and is easy to secure.
