Electric Pressure Cooker

TOWER®

over 100 years of quality

1912 Midland Metal Spinners was founded by George Cadman, who was then 65 years old, as a metal holloware manufacturing company, in St. Mark's Street, Wolverhampton. They later moved into the Tower and Fort Works in Pelham Street, which ultimately gave rise to the famous Tower brand name.

1937 Tower exhibited some of their latest holloware designs at the British Industries Fair. As you can see from the original poster, their stand No. A410 must have been a great sight as it promoted their "Beautiful, inexpensive, untarnishable Plate, at prices all can afford to pay".

1961 Tower became one of the largest

Join the pressure cooker revolution

Tower pressure cookers cook foods in about a third of the time, preserve 95 per cent of the vitamins, use almost 90 per cent less fuel and lock in all the flavour. Use your Electric Pressure Cooker with its non-stick pot to brown, boil, steam, braise, stew and roast. Perfect for vegetables, meat, fruits, fish and grains.

Pressure cooking is the process of cooking food, using water or other cooking liquid, in a sealed vessel known as a pressure cooker. Pressure cookers help to seal all nutrients in the food and save energy by cooking up to 3 times faster than conventional cooking methods.

Pressure cookers heat food quickly because the internal steam pressure from the boiling liquid causes saturated steam (or "wet steam") to bombard and cook the food. They quickly simulate manufacturers of aluminium holloware, electric kettles, tea pots and other household articles with over 1,000 employees.

1974 Russell Hobbs took ownership of the expanding Tower brand.

Towerbrand

the effects of simmering, braising and other techniques. Two main things happen with high pressure steam - the boiling point of the water in the pot raises which in turn cooks food faster and the pressure raises, forcing liquid into the food. When liquid and moisture is forced into the food quickly, not only does it cook the food faster, it also helps improve the cooking of certain foods, such as making meat very tender.

In conventional cooking, water boils at 100^ at standard pressure and the water evaporates as steam. In a pressure cooker, the trapped steam causes the internal temperature and pressure to rise resulting in superheated water. After use, the pressure is slowly released so that the vessel can be safely opened.

Please read this Manual carefully BEFORE using the Electric Pressure Cooker for your own safety.

Thank you for purchasing this Tower Electric Pressure Cooker.

It has been designed to provide many years of trouble-free cooking. There are many benefits to using a Tower Electric Pressure cooker:

A wide range of food can be cooked in your pressure cooker, including vegetarian, vegan and a wide range of ethnic dishes.

• Foods retain more nutrients, vitamins and minerals and are more tasty.
• Saves energy as cooking is done in just one container on one heat source.
• Saves time when cooking – cooking can be up to 70% faster.
• Less washing up is required as only one cooking pot is used and the pressure cooker lid eliminates splashes and boil overs.

Recipes for your Pressure Cooker

If you want to get in and out of the kitchen fast and serve your family wholesome, nutritious, home cooked meals, then the Tower electric pressure cooker is just the appliance for you and your family. No more junk food, no expensive fast food or pre-packaged “dinners” with their high fat, salt, chemicals and other unwanted additives. Pressure cooking uses superheated steam under pressure to force the flavour into foods, so steaming will always be better than the destructive effects of boiling which is constantly washing the flavour out..

With an incredibly wide array of functions, you can cook nutritious meals in record time and preserve vitamins and essential nutrients because foods cook quickly in an almost airless environment with very little liquid.

And with a large 5 litre capacity, whatever you make you have enough room to feed the whole family whilst saving up to 70% on energy.

We have included these three basic recipes to help you get started, so don't be afraid to dive in and experiment.

Tips:

• Try placing your veg on the steam rack with the minimum amount of water required. Save the remaining liquid after cooking for stock.
• If your vegetables are still steaming after being removed from your pressure cooker, they're still cooking! If your recipe calls for vegetables that are al dente, try running cold water over them in the sink to stop the cooking process.
• Cut ingredients into uniform sized pieces for evenly cooked food.

• Use fresh herbs when cooking meat. Pressure cooking tends to infuse the flavour of all the ingredients you cook together. Put fresh herbs in the pressure cooker whole, including the stems.
• When you cook with dried beans, lentils, rice or other foods that expand and absorb liquids, don't fill the pressure cooker more than half full.
