Pressure cooking and slow cooking ( e. g., crockpots ) are forms of braising.

Pressure cooking is the process of cooking food in a sealed vessel ( known as a pressure cooker ) that does not permit air or liquids to escape below a pre-set pressure.

Pressure cooking allows food to be cooked with greater humidity and higher temperatures than possible with conventional boiling or steaming methods.

The actual cooking time also depends on the pressure release method used after timing ( see # Pressure release methods for details ) and the thickness of the food, since thicker foods take longer to cook.

If the pressure is allowed to slowly drop after timing ( see # Pressure release methods for details ), cooking times are even shorter.

Pressure cooking requires much less water than conventional boiling, so food can be ready sooner.

* Pressure cooking

Pressure cookers are cooking pots with a pressure-proof lid.

Pressure cooking is analogous to autoclaving and when performed correctly renders food sterile.

Pressure cooking methods shorten the time necessary to extract the flavour from the bones.

This can be further divided into categories depending on the details of the technique, for example, LPCVD ( Low Pressure chemical vapor deposition ) and PECVD ( Plasma Enhanced chemical vapor deposition ).

Retaining nitrogen in trimix can contribute to the prevention of High Pressure Nervous Syndrome, a problem that can occur when breathing heliox at depths beyond about.

Pressure distributions can more conveniently be measured by the use of pressure-sensitive paint, in which higher local pressure is indicated by lowered fluorescence of the paint at that point.

Pressure distributions can also be conveniently measured by the use of pressure-sensitive pressure belts, a recent development in which multiple ultra-miniaturized pressure sensor modules are integrated into a flexible strip.

Pressure distributions on a test model can also be determined by performing a wake survey, in which either a single pitot tube is used to obtain multiple readings downstream of the test model, or a multiple-tube manometer is mounted downstream and all its readings are taken ( often by photograph ).

Pressure across the surfaces of the model can be measured if the model includes pressure taps.

Pressure tendency can forecast short term changes in the weather.

Pressure cookers can use much less liquid than the amount required for boiling or steaming in an ordinary saucepan.

Pressure then is higher, which can be painful.

Pressure " landmarks ": pressure exerted by a fingernail scratching is ~ 0. 6 GPa, typical pressures reached by large-volume presses are up to 30-40 GPa, pressures that can be generated inside diamond anvil cells are ~ 320 GPa, pressure in the center of the Earth is 364 GPa, and highest pressures ever achieved in shock waves are over 100, 000 GPa.

Dynamic surface tensions, i. e. surface tension as a function of time, can be obtained by the Maximum Bubble Pressure apparatus

Pressure on the xiphoid process should be avoided when administering chest compressions in CPR, as this can cause the xiphoid process to break off, resulting in punctures or lacerations of the diaphragm.

Pressure, if further increased in a reinforcing vicious circle, can compromise arteriole perfusion, leading to further tissue ischemia.

Pressure and flow characteristics can be set mechanically or electronically.

The duration of the cylinder can be calculated to Size of cylinder X Pressure / by 40 and then less 10 minutes because of a safety margin.

Pressure tightness can be tested by shutting off the supply valve and observing whether there is a pressure loss.

Pressure inside in the biliary tree can give rise to gallstones and lead to cirrhosis of the liver.

Pressure tubing is used to measure the fan pressure, and it is also run to the exterior of the building, so that the indoor-outdoor pressure differential can be measured.

The three-point hitch is operated by a hydraulic cylinder, and is one of the few tractor designs that can apply " Down Pressure " with the three-point hitch.

Pressure vessels can theoretically be almost any shape, but shapes made of sections of spheres, cylinders, and cones are usually employed.

Premature Ventricular Contraction ( PVC ) can be seen in the PPG just as in the EKG and the Blood Pressure ( BP ).

Pressure phosphenes can persist briefly after the rubbing stops and the eyes are opened, allowing the phosphenes to be seen on the visual scene.

Pressure should be applied with the fingertips over the ankle to determine the degree of swelling.

Pressure cookers should be operated only after reading the instruction manual because each model has slightly different safety mechanisms.

Pressure cookers should be regularly maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Pressure from these advocates for the king almost certainly compelled Murdoch to agree to a general council in August 1423 when it was agreed that an embassy should be sent to England to negotiate James's release.

Pressure altitude divided by 100 feet ( 30m ) as the flight level, and is used above the transition altitude ( in the US, but may be as low as in other jurisdictions ); so when the altimeter reads 18, 000 ft on the standard pressure setting the aircraft is said to be at " Flight level 180 ".

High Temperature and High Pressure ( HTHP ) environments have become increasingly commonplace in operations and require the petroleum engineer to be savvy in topics as wide ranging as thermo-hydraulics, geomechanics, and intelligent systems.

Pressure mounted on Warner Brothers and Eastwood to back down, but their refusal to do so resulted in a fine, reported to be around $ 60, 000 for the violation.

Pressure flaking also gave toolmakers the ability to create notches where the objective piece could be bound more securely to the shaft of the weapon or tool and increasing the object's utility.

Pressure from traders who wanted to be paid and concern from government officials about the ability of the Dakota to earn the money they wanted, led to the 1851 Treaty of Traverse des Sioux.

: Pressure broadening may also be classified by the nature of the perturbing force as follows:

Pressure solution is a metamorphic process that requires a rock to be under strong pressure from one direction and in the presence of hot water.

Pressure led incumbent vendors to move resources offshore, or to be replaced wholesale.
