The Salter EK2546 Rapid Non-Stick Multi Cooker with Lid is a pressure cooker with multi-cook capability. Although for some unknown reason it doesn’t mention the fact that it is a pressure cooker in the description it include a pressure valve in the twist lock lid to give you faster cooking up to 90%.
The multi-cooker has a 5 litre capacity making it big enough for family meals and it has a stainless steel and black body and lid which will fit in with any modern kitchen.
Pressure cooking is the ideal way to cook flavoursome meals with fresh ingredients in a much faster time while locking in the nutrients.
Control panel
The Salter EK2546 has a large easy to read control panel with an LCD display which shows the preset times and the countdown timer while it’s cooking. There are preset buttons installed for:-
Steam
Meat
Stew/Saute
Rice
Soup
Fish
Preserve
Fast reheat
Slow Cook/Keep warm
Delay timer
You have the benefit of being able to slow cook in this multi-cooker so that if you have recipes that you’ve made in the slow cooker before you should be able to make them in this cooker although you don’t have the option of different heat levels that you might on a standard slow cooker.
It’s easy to make one pot meals, soups and stews. You have a sear function so that if you like to brown your meat and soften your vegetables before you make your stew then you can just select that option without the lid on, add some oil in the base of the inner pot and start searing. Just remember to use utensils suitable for a non-stick coating. Once you are ready switch off the sear function, add your other ingredients and stock and then select how you want to cook it.
Meat is easy to cook in this Salter pressure cooker. It can hold a joint of meat or chicken in this inner pot so that means you can make super easy pulled pork or just a chicken for Sunday dinner. It doesn’t come with a rack to put in the bottom but you can always use a few spoons laid across the bottom and sit your meat on them,(that’s how my mum used to do it in her old pressure cooker) it just stops the meat on the bottom being in direct contact with the base of the pot. You have to add water in the pot as it needs to produce steam to create pressure. It does make for tender meat in less time.
Rice can be measured out using the measuring cup included and the water level required is marked on the inside of the inner pot. This makes it simple to get it going quickly. You can also use it to make risotto and rice based meals like paella.
Fish is a healthy alternative when it’s available and you have a fish function so that you can cook it quickly without it drying out. If you like to sear the skin before you cook it you can do that with the sear function then place it on the steam tray and cook on fish. Although it cooks fish quickly remember that it does have to come to pressure first and how long that takes depends on how much water is used and it can come to pressure quicker if you use boiling water. Once pressure is reached then the cook time starts.
The Salter EK2546 Rapid Non-Stick Multi Cooker with Lid, 5 Litre, 1000 W comes with a 5 litre non-stick inner pot, a steam tray, a measurement cup and a rice spoon.
