A pressure cooker is a type of pot with a hermetically sealed lid. Due to the increased pressure, dishes are cooked much faster than in a conventional saucepan, which greatly facilitates the life of modern housewives, saving precious time. Shrimp risotto cooked in a pressure cooker turns out to be very tasty.
