Afghan Kazan outdoor Pressure pot
A little history
These pots are made in Afghanistan
"Kazan's may be suspended over a fire in a variety of ways. Sometimes metal frames (a tripod called sajayaq)[1] are made, or alternatively (especially for large Kazan), a hole may be dug in the ground which will hold the Kazan and provide enough space underneath to keep a fire under it—in this case, an access hole is built in the side to allow the fire to be tended, and to let in air. Smaller Kazan's may be used on [usually gas] stoves with the help of a specially designed piece of metal that lets the heat [of the flame] transfer to the Kazan while at the same time holding it upright and steady."

Can I convert my favorite conventional recipes for use in a pressure cooker?
Yes. The easiest way to convert a recipe is to find a pressure cooker recipe that is similar. If that is not possible, a good rule of thumb to follow is to decrease the cooking time of your recipe by two thirds. For example, if your ordinary cooking method requires 45 minutes, the pressure cooker cooking time will be approximately 15 minutes. Remember to document your results so you can perfect your timing. Because there is very little evaporation in a pressure cooker, the amount of liquid should also be reduced. Generally, use about 1 cup more than you’ll desire in the finished dish. Remember, however, that there must always be some liquid in the pressure cooker to form the necessary steam.
Can cooking liquids other than water be used in a pressure cooker?
Yes. Wine, beer, bouillon, and fruit or vegetable juices all make excellent cooking liquids in a pressure cooker. You’re only limited by your imagination!
Will flavors blend together if I cook several foods at the same time in the pressure cooker?
Flavors of foods are blended when they are cooked in the same liquid.
Can I use my pressure cooker on all types of ranges?
Yes, our pressure cookers will work on gas, electric coil, campfire and ceramic glass ranges.
What do I do if the food is not completely done after the recommended cooking time?
Simply bring the pressure cooker back up to pressure and cook the food for little longer.
Is it necessary to brown meat and poultry before pressure cooking?
No, however, browning adds a rich, robust flavor to a recipe. It is recommended in many instances to enhance the flavor, but it is not necessary if time is short.
