If you're trying to choose between a stovetop pressure cooker and an electric one, there's definitely a few things you'll want to consider. Although fairly basic, stovetop cookers get the job done, but just don't have the features of electric cookers. In addition, they require closer monitoring. However, they can be converted to regular sauce pans when the lid is off or unlocked. If you really want to pressure cook the easier way, electric is the way to go.

The electric cookers of today offer a variety of features, such as a range of pressure settings, functions, and timers which make the electric variety of pressure cooker an extremely versatile appliance. Furthermore, today's pressure cookers have several safety features which make accidents less likely. Locking lids can't be removed accidentally and backup pressure valves are in place. These appliances sense both pressure and temperature, shutting themselves off if a problem arises, making the electric pressure cooker the safer of the two varieties.
