An FYI on Pressure Cooking Settings and the TSV

‎02-16-2011 05:49 PM

The standard pressure setting and the one that most pressure cooker recipes depend upon is 15 psi (link). It was established by the USDA in 1917.

But some foreign-made pressure cookers, including some electric ones, use the metric measurement kPa, which can make it difficult to compare.

So I looked at the FAQs link on Montel's item, and it says "This pressure cooker can have its pressure adjusted from 20-80kPA." That means that it does not reach 15 psi, which in metric would be the equivalent of 107 kPa (link).
