Check it for any damages. Really check the rubber seal for cracks and replace if it has any. Hopefully, you can find one that has the instruction manual with it. Follow all the directions carefully.

Question by Manuel Perez: how much electricity will a 1000w pressure cooker cost me in every hour of use?
okay, so my roomie just bought a pressure cooker so he can save money by cooking his own food instead of going to the cafeteria. now i saw on teh label that its a 1000W machine, im concerned about how much our electricity bill will rise with this one.

Anybody knows how much its gonna cost is for every hour of use?
lets just say the power company charges 35cents per hour
i mean per kilowatt hour

Answer by sparky_dy
One unit of electricity is a kilowatt-hour, i.e. one kilowatt times one hour. So a 1kW appliance will use 1kWh of energy every hour.

To find the cost per unit, insert your payment key into your electricity meter and press the display button several times to cycle through the various modes. At least one of them will be pence per kWh (there may be several rates for the various peak and off-peak times; your electricity supplier should have given you a leaflet explaining which rate applies when.)

My supplier charges about 14p for a kilowatt-hour in the daytime.
