A "düdüklü tencere," or pressure cooker, is a kitchen appliance designed to cook food quickly by using steam pressure. It has a sealed lid that traps steam, raising the internal pressure and temperature, which speeds up the cooking process. This method is particularly useful for preparing tough cuts of meat, grains, and legumes. The pressure cooker is often made of stainless steel or aluminum and features a safety valve to prevent excessive pressure buildup. Many modern models come with additional features, such as multiple cooking settings and timers, making them versatile tools in the kitchen for efficient meal preparation.
