The modern kitchen has developed much over the years, and thus the pressure cooker became one of the important utensils for cooking food quickly to save your precious time. Now, with more than 20 years of experience making various numbers of commercial pressure cooking kettles, rich knowledge is brought to Aoyi Machinery to help people understand the key considerations when choosing a pressure cooker.
Inner-lid pressure cookers are those whose lids fit inside of the pot's rim, making a tight seal. This kind of design can enable it to achieve and hold higher levels of pressure; thus, it becomes good for recipes that have very intense pressure cooking requirements.
The exterior lid pressure cookers have a lid on top of the pot and locks from the outside. This retro design is fashion at its peak in commercial kitchens and bigger households.
They both incorporate numerous safety features, but they are differently designed:
Inner Lid Models: These feature integrated pressure release valves and several locking points.
Outer Lid Models: Include visible safety locks and pressure indicators that are easier to monitor.
Safety first. Aoyi Machinery recommends that both designs have advanced safety features, including automatic pressure release and thermal protection.
Inner Lid: Generally available in 2-6 liter capacity
Outer Lid: Larger sizes available from 5 to 12 liters
The usual difference lies in the fact that more precision is needed when aligning and fastening the lid with an inner lid model, while an outer lid version usually allows for easier operation. Aoyi Machinery'ssuggest that designs in both categories must ensure user-friendly operation irrespective of type choice.
Inner Lid: Requires special cleaning around the sealing ring and pressure valve
Outer Lid: Easier to clean but may require more frequent changing of the gasket.
According to us, both varieties should possess quality-grade stainless steel and hard-wearing parts for long-lasting performance.
In general, the models where inner lid is present gives higher pressure, which usually does not exceed 15 PSI whereas the models with only outer lid exert slightly lower pressure of about 12 to 13 PSI.
