Pressure cookers have had negative press in the past, with stories of them exploding and throwing their contents across the kitchen. However, today’s models have built-in safety features to give you peace of mind while you’re cooking. With six preset settings - including pressure cooking, slow cooking, searing and sautéing - and dual sensors that keep an eye on your ingredients, adjusting temperature and pressure to suit, this multi-cooker is a little more expensive than the average pressure cooker, but more than makes up for the price tag thanks to its huge versatility and space-saving qualities. For a couple, or a small family, a three-litre capacity pressure cooker should be sufficient for most dishes. But if you cook on a larger scale then consider a pressure cooker with a capacity of at least six litres which is enough for a larger family or for batch cooking. If you're short on space, you could also consider a microwave pressure cooker. These are usually made of silicone, so are easy to clean after cooking, whether you pop it in your dishwasher or wash it by hand. Some hob pressure cookers have handles on either side, making them easier to carry, as they can be heavy when filled with food. Others have folding or removable handles, making storage easier.

Because we know that there’s nothing like a real recommendation from a real parent, we first headed to the Mumsnet forums to find out which pressure cookers discerning Mumsnet users had bought for themselves. I have had a cheap Tower pressure cooker from Argos. It’s been excellent and I have no complaints at all! I use it most weeks as a pressure cooker and also the large pan size is useful for cooking other things.” (Tried and tested by Mumsnetter MissingFriendandSad) Our verdict

Microwave - these have the health benefits of pressure cookers, as well as the speedy cooking times. Their main benefit is that they pretty much automate the cooking process. You simply select the pressure level or cooking function you want, and the appliance does all the work, with an integrated timer letting you know when to release the pressure and when your meal is ready. This makes them a good option for people who are new to pressure cooking or those who don’t want to watch over their appliance. If both sound appealing but you don’t have the budget or the space for two devices, then this pressure and slow cooker combination from Sage is just what you need. Even if you’ve only got a compact kitchen space with which to work, choosing to buy a small pressure cooker could be a fantastic investment. You could transform your cooking experience with a Prestige pressure cooker, taking all the hassle out of your favourite recipes and turning a formerly time-consuming task into a tasteful delight.Perfect for couples or small families, this little 3L device is not only a pressure cooker, but also doubles up as a slow cooker as well. It has eight preset programmes, each perfect for a specific food type, be it rice or meat or soup, as well as a handy timer so you can set it to finish cooking just as you arrive home. We also love that it comes in larger sizes, so you can choose the right capacity for your family. Some electric pressure cookers only have one pressure setting, whereas others have two (for high and low pressure) or even more (the Sage Fast Slow Pro has eight). The low-pressure option makes cooking more energy-efficient, as the cooker can switch to this setting once the food has cooked. It’s also useful for cooking more delicate foods such as leafy vegetables, pasta, eggs and fish. Automatic pressure release ACCESSORIES SET - Comes with a pressure cooker accessories set, including a practical steamer, divider, and wire trivet.

(Tried and tested by Mumsnet user burblish) I love my Instant Pot. I love that you can start a ragu by sautéing the soffritto then adding the meat and then the tomatoes before pressure cooking it. No other pots and pans needed unlike a traditional slow cooker. One pot wonders are a staple in our house!!"(Recommended by Mumsnet user LadyCampanulaTottington) A larger capacity will add to the price, but will mean you can batch cook and freeze portions, but go for the smallest option that works for your household if you're looking to save money. VersatilityI use mine every day. It does everything!” (Recommended by Mumsnetter Fairydustandpixies) Our verdict We think that the best pressure cooker for all-round efficiency and quality is the Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker, a hugely popular gadget with Mumsnetters and found in thousands of kitchens country-wide. Most are made from stainless steel or aluminium, and can double up as a sturdy saucepan. They don’t have multiple functions for different foods like electric models do, but some come with accessories such as steaming baskets.
