It can also be used as a frying pan for sautéing and cooking. Pour oil into the bottom after heating it, with or without a lid, over high heat. It can also function as a pressure cooker. With a tightly sealed lid, cook over medium heat, adding water or other liquids. Additionally, you can combine several methods in one dish. For example, sauté onions and meat first, add spices and water, stir in vegetables, and let it simmer covered over low heat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003eProfessional note: Their sizes are smaller than the well-known sword pots.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Al taqareer Store","offers":[{"title":"5 Liters","offer_id":48395195384020,"sku":null,"price":199.0,"currency_code":"SAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 Liters","offer_id":48395195416788,"sku":null,"price":239.0,"currency_code":"SAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 Liters","offer_id":48395195449556,"sku":null,"price":279.0,"currency_code":"SAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 Liters","offer_id":48395195482324,"sku":null,"price":339.0,"currency_code":"SAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 Liters","offer_id":48395195515092,"sku":null,"price":379.0,"currency_code":"SAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 Liters","offer_id":48395195547860,"sku":null,"price":399.0,"currency_code":"SAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/3612\/3860\/files\/ChatGPT_Image_Sep_24_2026_11_45_29_AM.png?v=1790239554","url":"https:\/\/www.altaqareerstore.com\/products\/afghan-pressure-cooker-shams-baba","provider":"AL Taqareer store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
