FAQs
Cacciatore word means hunter, and food prepared alla cacciatora refers to a hunter-style dish with onions, herbs, tomatoes, and bell peppers.
Pressure cooking allows the boiling point of the liquid to be higher, and the food in turn cooks faster at a higher temperature. It also retains the flavors and nutrients of the food while also keeping the food moist.
