Purpose and Function

The presto cooker was made specifically to benefit housewives when it came to cooking food in the kitchen. The idea of high speed cooking was the feature that sold the presto cooker. It’s function was to save money and create a diverse number of advantages for the average housewife cooker. The pamphlet “when you cook with a presto cooker” separates its information into sections allowing the consumer to understand all of its functions and purposes. The different sections include; Time, fuel costs, vitamins, simple to operate, always safe, easy to care for, flavour and colour, shrinkage, yourself, practical for canning, indicator weight, and four popular sizes. The Presto brand had a method that was intriguing to many consumers as it cooks your meal in one-third the time while maintaining the vitamin and mineral content of foods and saving both food flavor and colour (National Presto Industries, Inc, 2015).
