FAQ
How does the one-hand system work?
The T-fal Clipso features a unique locking mechanism that allows you to open and close the lid with one simple hand motion, eliminating complicated twisting and locking procedures found on traditional pressure cookers.
Can I use this on an induction cooktop?
Yes! The T-fal Clipso works on all cooktops including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic thanks to its multi-layer stainless steel base.
Is it really 70% faster than regular cooking?
Yes! Pressure cooking reaches higher temperatures than boiling water, allowing food to cook much faster. For example, a pot roast that takes 3 hours conventionally can be done in under 1 hour.
Is it safe? I'm nervous about pressure cookers.
Absolutely! The T-fal Clipso includes multiple safety features: secure locking system, pressure indicator, variable steam release valve, over-pressure gasket release, and stay-cool handle. It won't open until pressure is fully released.
Is it dishwasher-safe?
Yes! Simply remove the gasket and pressure valve, and the stainless steel pot can go right in the dishwasher for hassle-free cleanup.
What's the 12 PSI operation?
PSI (pounds per square inch) measures pressure. The 12 PSI setting provides excellent cooking speed and efficiency for most recipes, with a variable steam release valve for precise control.
