Bring Pressure Cooker With You On Beach Vacation For This Seafood Recipe

Ahh… summer! Yes, that cherished time of year for right-of-passage excursions to the ocean is finally upon us. Whether you’re flying to a beach town or taking the highway to the nearest source of water, the relaxing time spent on vacation is always a cherished get-away. However, a fair amount of planning goes into getting to the ocean. How much vacation time can you get from your employer? What lodging options are available and how much will it cost to stay there? Are the kids coming? How are we going to keep them entertained? Vacations aren’t always a picnic, but it sure beats the daily grind.

We’ve got one more consideration we’d like to suggest to the soon-to-be traveler: sampling the local wares. If you’re going to a shore town, then seafood is guaranteed to be a readily-accessible dining option. What makes this even more convenient for power pressure cooker appliance owners is that these devices are uniquely positioned to cook seafood in a minimal amount of time compared to your traditional stove. It’s also very  portable so storing it with the rest of the items you’re taking with you on vacation should be no issue. The air-tight lid that locks super-heated steam inside also infuses liquid and flavor. This is why a pressure cooker is the perfect appliance for cooking locally-sourced seafood! Below, we’re offering a recipe for king crab that’s sure to please your friends and family. All you’ve got to do is find the local market and pick up the main ingredient.
