Definition What is an Electric Pressure Cooker (EPC)? An electric pressure cooker is a modern time clean cooking device which is composed of software and hardware features that facilitate the generation and retention of heat energy from the start and to the end of cooking process.

There are dozens of different electric pressure cookers (EPCs) on the market for domestic and small commercial use. They range in price from about £50 to well over £100. Seven EPCs are compared here. One, the BES model is designed for use with a 12V DC electricity, whereas the others are all designed for 230V AC electricity.

The 2020 Global LEAP Awards Electric Pressure Cookers competition was implemented by CLASP in partnership with the Modern Energy Cooking Services (MECS) program, and funded by UK aid.

Overall, the Global LEAP Awards lists thirteen electric pressure cookers in the 2020 Buyer’s Guide designed for use in households and micro-enterprises served by off-grid energy systems, unreliable grid connections, and renewable mini-grids.

Electric Pressure Cookers (EPCs) Nepal has witnessed significant improvement in energy access and electricity supply reliability in recent years. With pipelined hydropower projects, Nepal is expected to generate surplus electricity. This will open avenues for e-cooking to replace traditional cooking fuels which might reduce LPG imports for cooking.

cookers are assessed for potential use in institutions such as schools. The test samples were advertised as 33 litre capacity (33L) and 65 litre capacity (65L) both from the Zhongshan HanHong Electrical Appliance Co Ltd company in China (Figure 1), and a 40 litre (40L) capacity EPC from Fosh.

The 2020 Global LEAP Awards was the first-ever competition for appropriately designed, highly energy eficient electric pressure cookers suitable for use in weak- and off-grid settings. Figure 1 shows some of the energy saving and safety mechanisms that make EPCs suitable for weak- …

CLASP is working closely with the Modern Energy Cooking Solutions (MECS) program to accelerate the market for electric cooking in off and weak grid markets globally through electric pressure cookers.

In 2020, the Global LEAP Awards ran the first-ever competition for appropriately designed, highly energy efficient electric pressure cookers suitable for use in off- and weak-grid settings, to help companies, investors, and others make more informed procurement decisions.

Key Safety and Energy Saving Mechanisms of an Electric Pressure Cooker. Pressure Release Valve: Automatically opens when pressure exceeds normal levels. Locking Pin: Prevents lid from being opened when pressurised. Thermal Fuse: Cuts power when temperature above expected. Automatically opens if pressure sensor & pressure release value both fail.
