Best Electric Pressure Cooker in India

Capacity decides most of this. Four models hold 6 litres, though the Nutricook's listing name says 5.7L, while Wonderchef states 5 litres cooked. Pigeon holds 3 litres. Wonderchef says its model suits a family of four to six, and Nutricook lists the same range for its pot. Pigeon does not state a persons rating.

Next, look at presets. Wonderchef and Pigeon list 18, AGARO lists 14, Nutricook lists 12 and Prestige lists 11. More presets do not guarantee better results, so pick the dishes you cook most.

Then check the power details. Nutricook and Prestige state 1000 W. Pigeon states 750 W. Wonderchef and AGARO do not state a wattage. Prestige lists 230 V and Pigeon lists 230 V AC at 50 Hz. The other three leave voltage not stated, so confirm it before you buy.

Speed claims are the maker's own. Pigeon says its Electra cooks 2 times faster than ordinary pressure cookers. No other maker here gives a speed figure.

Control style differs as well. Prestige uses touch buttons, Pigeon uses soft push controls and AGARO has a backlit LCD display.

Think about what you cook most. Prestige builds its presets around Indian menus. AGARO lists dishes from soup broth to cake and yogurt. Nutricook points to sous vide and yogurt making. Pigeon says its model replaces a rice cooker, steamer and slow cooker.

Then compare warranty. Prestige, Wonderchef and Pigeon state 2 years. AGARO states 1 year plus 5 years on the heating plate. Nutricook does not state one.
