Prestige Pressure cooker is often one of the products carried by Indian travelers to USA. Now InstaPot is available.
The first steam cooker in India was developed by Indumadhab Mallick in Bengal called Icmic cookers. Soon Bombay had Santosh cookers and Madras Rukmani cooker. But the rise of pressure cookers ended the reign of these traditional all-in-one cookers. In 1935 the Automa pressure cooker was launched . Prestige came up with the Gasket Release System making steam pressure cookers safe.
Electric rice cookers were developed in Japan after World War I, and by the late 1950’s, such cookers were a standard appliance in Japanese homes. Their manufacture and use spread throughout the rest of Asia where rice was the dietary mainstay, and then to the rest of the world where rice-eating continued to grow over the next years of global contact, trade, and culinary exchange.
Chinese scientist, Yong-Guang Wang, filed the first electric pressure cooker patent on January 9th, 1991. This patent is currently owned by the world’s No. 1 electric pressure cooker manufacturer, Midea Group. The origins of the multi-cooker appear to be a hybrid of the slow cooker/crock pot of 1950’s America and the rice cooker of 1950’s Japan. Appliance giant Rival® bought an US patent, redesigned, rebranded and launched their new iteration of the slow cooker and sold 2 million slow cookers. Instant Pot® was developed by Robert Wang.
