The Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement (commonly known as CESMM3) sets out a procedure for the preparation of a bill of quantities for civil engineering works, for pricing and for expression and measurement of quantities of work.
A stovetop pressure cooker. A pressure cooker is a sealed vessel for cooking food with the use of high pressure steam and water or a water-based liquid, a process called pressure cooking. The high pressure limits boiling and creates higher temperatures not possible at lower pressures, allowing food to be cooked faster than at normal pressure.
It began manufacture of pressure cookers in 1959 with technical collaboration from Prestige Group of the United Kingdom. [1] The company went public in 1994, and changed to its present name in 1994. It is known for its innovative marketing strategy, be it distributing pamphlets by helicopter in the fifties or introducing the exchange scheme.
A pressure cooker. Pressure cooker – heats food quickly because the internal steam pressure from the boiling liquid causes saturated steam (or "wet steam") to bombard and permeate the food. Thus, higher temperature water vapour (i.e., increased energy), which transfers heat more rapidly compared to dry air, cooks food very quickly.
Aroma Housewares Company also known as Mirama Enterprises, Inc, branded as Aroma, is a cookware and small kitchen appliance manufacturing company founded by Peter Chang in Southern California in 1977.
A basic slow cooker consists of a lidded round or oval cooking pot made of glazed ceramic or porcelain, surrounded by a housing, usually metal, containing an electric heating element. The lid itself is often made of glass, and seated in a groove in the pot edge; condensed vapor collects in the groove and provides a low-pressure seal to the ...
Pressure frying is mostly done in industrial kitchens.Ordinary home pressure cookers are generally unsuitable for pressure frying, because they are typically designed for a maximum temperature around 121 °C (250 °F) whereas oil can reach temperatures well in excess of 160 °C (320 °F) which may damage the gasket in an ordinary pressure cooker, causing it to fail.
Pressure cookers produce superheated water, which cooks the food more rapidly than boiling water. Superheated water is liquid water under pressure at temperatures between the usual boiling point, 100 °C (212 °F) and the critical temperature, 374 °C (705 °F). [citation needed] It is also known as "subcritical water" or "pressurized hot water".
