We consider a pressure cooker an essential item on board nowadays. They’re easy to use, they retain flavour, they’re efficient and time friendly as well as – nowadays – totally safe. They enable you to make complex meals that usually take hours in 20 minutes, saving you time and gas not to mention the boost in morale that comes with a hearty meal (especially a massive curry). This is a particularly good one that has a non-stick bottom and can be used as a frying pan. We even made bread! Smaller sizes available for smaller crew. £115 www.kuhnrikon.com
