Countertop Cookers
Gourmia ExpressPot Pressure Cookers Offers New Technologies
Gourmia™, a designer and manufacturer of innovative countertop kitchen appliances, is taking the pressure out of what to get Mom for Mother’s Day this year: a Gourmia safe and easy-to-use ExpressPot pressure cooker. The line is headed by the advanced, multi-mode ExpressPot 6-Quart Pressure Cooker (GPC965) that integrates never-before-seen technologies, taking pressure-cooker safety, speed, convenience, and control to a whole new level.
All models in Gourmia’s ExpressPot pressure cooker line take pressure cooker’s safety, speed, convenience, and control to a new level. With the ExpressPot pressure cooker, cooks can prepare delicious meals in minutes — with no defrosting or cooking for hours on end.
The ExpressPot GPC965. This 6-quart pressure cooker cooks faster than competitors’ pressure cookers, provides fully adjustable pressure settings from 1.5 psi to 12 psi, and offers these Gourmia innovations:
Auto Pressure Release knows when pressure needs to be released (e.g., when cooking is done, and for some recipes, periodically throughout the cooking process), and automatically releases the pressure (the chef’s hands will never have to be near the steam), making the unit safer and more convenient for the user.
Auto-Stir function releases pressure in short microbursts throughout the cycle (ideally timed based on the recipe being cooked), effectively stirring the food to perfection without removing the lid or impacting the cooking temperature.
Remote Release Button that allows the user to safely release the pressure manually – without putting their hands near the pressure release valve. Whether in automatic or manual mode, the user’s hands and face (as well as those of others nearby) are protected when the pressure is released from the unit.
State-of-the-art Fully Adjustable Pressure Settings from 1.5-12 psi allow for complete cooking control. Or select one of the 12 presets for simple, no-fuss operation.
Other GPC965 convenience and safety features include:
PressurePerfect System that intelligently monitors pressure for consistent results.
FlavorMax Cooking to lock in flavor and nutrients for healthier, better-tasting meals.
SmartSeal Lid System with patented 12-level lid-lock technology for added safety and convenience.
SimpleSet Controls that provide easy-set presets for perfect results without guesswork.
LCD digital display with EZ-select dial control
13 cooking modes for ultimate versatility and 12 presets for guesswork-free favorites
Precision thermostat that automatically regulates cooking temperature and internal pressure during the cooking process
Keep-warm function
24-hour delay timer and an auto timer
Auto-resume power function
Recipe book with photos
