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. In general, 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 colors 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 features a locking handle with a comfortable grip that closes tightly and is easy to secure. The unique design of the Afghan pressure cooker makes it practical for use on any stove or grill with almost any fuel source, such as a wood stove, charcoal grill, gas grill, or even a kitchen stove, allowing it to be used on hiking and camping trips, and when going out into nature. It can be used as a pressure pot or simply a durable camping pot. Mixing food inside the Afghan pressure cooker is very convenient; you won't need to open the lid often. The ideal food volume inside the Afghan pressure cooker is 65-80%; when the load exceeds this standard, there is a possibility of valve blockage.
