You would have surely known of the accidents caused by the lids of the cookers getting blown off and creating a mess in the cooking area and even causing injuries to the cook at times. Gone are the days of the fear associated with the use of pressure cookers. Modern cookers are safe and easy to use minus the accompanied hissing sound and whistles you might have got used to. There are many brands manufactured in America, Europe and some of the Asian companies too.

If you go shopping for a modern day cooker, you get two options as to the material used for its manufacturing. It could be made of aluminum or stainless steel. Both the metals offer their own advantages and have their specific limitations. It is good to understand these before buying one and choose the one that best suits your requirements.

Cookers made from stainless steel can better resist corrosion, scratches and warping. That means it remains shining and good looking for long. Stainless steel doesn’t react with food products and is longer lasting. Stainless steel cooker has stylish sleek looks and more expensive than the ones made from aluminum. Aluminum cookers, on the other hand are cheaper, and aluminum is a better conductor of heat than stainless steel. But, aluminum is a softer metal and thus prone to dents and scratches that could mar its looks. Further, aluminum may react with certain acidic foods.

Basically, the choice between the two metals boils down to two important features, that’s price and durability. Variety made from aluminum is very affordable and this metal is a better conductor of heat, but then their design and quality is not as good. Though stainless steel cookers are expensive, they prove to be more durable. These days they are designed to have an aluminum bottom for better absorption of heat. If your budget is rather limited, you’ll do well to have aluminum cooker, but if quality and durability are on your priority, having a stainless steel cooker will be a better option and proves economical in the long run.
