Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Bistro in Penzance was struggling with prep times for their popular braised beef dish, which tied up hob space for hours. They needed a way to speed up the process without compromising on the melt-in-the-mouth texture their customers loved.
"The Artame pressure cooker has been a revelation. We’ve cut the cooking time for our braised beef by nearly two-thirds, and honestly, it’s even more tender and flavourful than before. It’s freed up so much time and hob space during a busy service."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
After introducing the pressure cooker, the bistro reduced the cooking time for its signature dish from 4 hours to just 90 minutes, allowing them to increase daily output by 50% during the tourist season.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, wash the pot, lid, and gasket thoroughly with warm, soapy water.
- Familiarise yourself with the lid's locking mechanism—it should slide on and lock smoothly.
- Check the rubber gasket is seated correctly in the lid; a good seal is vital for building pressure.
- Always ensure you add sufficient liquid (water, stock, etc.) before sealing the lid and heating.
Keeping It Going
- After every use, remove and clean the gasket by hand to prolong its life and ensure a good seal.
- Clean the pot with non-abrasive cloths or sponges to protect the stainless steel finish.
- Regularly check that the pressure valves and safety plugs on the lid are clear of any food debris.
- Store the cooker with the lid placed upside down on top, rather than sealed, to air the gasket.
Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What kinds of dishes is it best for?
A: It excels at anything that normally requires long, slow cooking. Think stocks, broths, tough cuts of meat like brisket or lamb shanks, beans, lentils, and even potatoes.

A: It can reduce cooking times by up to 70%. A stew that might take 3-4 hours to simmer can be perfectly tender in around an hour.

A: The stainless steel pot is easy to wash with standard detergent. The lid and gasket should be cleaned by hand, ensuring the valves are clear of debris.
Q: What is the 15-litre capacity equivalent to?
A: 15 litres is approximately 26 UK pints, making it large enough to prepare stocks or mains for a very busy service or for bulk batch cooking.

Explore more from ArtameHow Pressure Cooking Unlocks Speed and Flavour
Ever wondered how a pressure cooker works its magic? It’s all down to a bit of clever physics. By sealing the pot, steam gets trapped inside. As this steam builds, it increases the atmospheric pressure within the pot. This higher pressure raises the boiling point of water from 100°C to around 121°C.
Think of it like this: you're creating a super-heated, high-energy environment for your food. This is what allows it to cook up to 70% faster than conventional methods. It's not just about speed, though. Because the cooking time is so much shorter and happens in a sealed pot, fewer vitamins and nutrients are lost, and the flavours become more concentrated and intense. It’s the secret to getting that slow-cooked taste, fast.
