Mini pressure cooker

Don't forget pressure cookers, as well as reducing cooking times, with pressure weight removed they're very safe non-spill pans at sea when conditions lively.

Please read all of my post, rather than just one line.

The device i posted about reduces cooking times a lot more than a pressure cooker and you don't need to have a gas stove burning whilst underway. As for non spill, how much more non-spill can you get than a vacuum sealed container ?

Difficult to see how something which has to be left for hours is quicker than something which cooks in minutes, though I grant that actually-on-the-stove time may be a little less. I had a look at Mr D's offerings at Southampton Boat Show recently. Nicely made, but ninety quid was somewhere between "a bit steep" and "outrageous" for me.

is a lot quicker than the few minutes pressure cookers take is it ?

A pressure cooker with the lid locked on is pretty spill proof

Away and play in the Lounge! I did not say you would not be able to buy one - that is your own warped inference. As to the price change, I cannot be arsed, but there has been at least a 12% hit on the exchange rate.

So you have no concrete basis for your very definite "Buy one quick before Brexit" - complete with exclamation mark. Any ordinary person would take that to mean there was a real reason to do so whereas I pointed out there was nothing to stop one buying the product now or in the future. Asking you to quote the prices was a way of giving you the opportunity to show that you had something to support your advice, but I guess there isn't.

Is 12% and rising not sufficiently concrete for you?

No, actually the £ is slowly gaining against the euro at the moment. I used to do whole module on the impact of short and long term currency fluctuations on firms' cost and pricing strategies, so would like to think that I do have some knowledge of the subject.

The lower value of the £ does not directly lead to higher prices of all goods, particularly in the short and medium term. Sellers may absorb some of the increase, for example by cutting margins or costs, they may have significant stocks paid for at a better rate, may have long term hedges, or may just decide to ride out the change in value of the currency to maintain their position in the market. Remember the £ has been lower against the euro in the past and nobody then was spouting doom and gloom. Mass market consumer goods prices are generally resilient to fluctuating exchange rates, for exactly the same reasons why there is a delay between a devaluation and an increase in demand for goods from export markets. The last 18 months illustrates this vey well with inflation taking time to actually reflect the higher import prices and exports only recently showing significant increases.

So you hopefully now appreciate why I asked you for something concrete to back up what you said rather than just use a throwaway line. I doubt your cooker has increased by anything like 12% - if at all since 2016, nor that even if it had that it would deter buyers who thought it was just right for their needs.

My mistake, i meant it reduces costs more than a pressure cooker. It isn't cheap, but it does work very well.

That's assuming that the products continue to be available in the UK when/if the hassle of customs clearance comes in. Even if they are, the costs of handling and clearance may well make buying from the EU uneconomic.

Of course to the breacherous that's cause for celebration. They either forget that UK businesses sell to foreigners or they don't approve of them doing so ...

I didn't say a pressure cooker wasn't spill proof, i was replying to a comment from someone else.

As usual, you don't like it when someone else offers an alternative suggestion to something you've posted.

All I did was post a link to something that i though might be of interest . No recommendations or other qualification, just a link. Then along you came throwing your weight around, as usual, with an opening statment like, "Forget pressure cookers or slow cookers for boat use. A thermal cooker is the way to go"

If you wanted to simply post a link to an alternative fair enough, but you decided to approach it in an aggressive manner.

On a lighter not, it was a 3 litre version of this Hawkins pressure cooker that starred in my pastacrete spaghettit incident...

...surely any 'ordinary person' wouldn't be discussing Brexit on a yachting forum on a discussion about pressure cookers! :o :o :o (with a few emojis added just for luck)
