Pressure cooker

Pressure cooker. Historical artwork of the pressure cooker, La Marmite de Papin, invented by Dennis Papin in 1681. It consists of an iron pot with a sealed lid. The pressure vent (upper centre, labelled S) allows steam to escape and stop the pot from exploding. By increasing the pressure, water boils at a higher temperature and food will cook faster

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical artwork of the pressure cooker, La Marmite de Papin, invented by Dennis Papin in 1681. The intricate illustration depicts an iron pot with a tightly sealed lid, while the pressure vent (located at the upper center and labeled S) ingeniously allows steam to escape, preventing any potential explosions. This early engineering device revolutionized cooking by harnessing increased pressure to elevate water's boiling point and consequently cook food faster. The monochrome artistry beautifully captures the essence of this technological marvel from the 17th century. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of innovation throughout history. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness Denis Papin's remarkable invention that paved the way for modern-day pressure cookers. Its significance lies not only in its mechanical prowess but also in its contribution to French cuisine and culinary practices worldwide. Beyond its culinary impact, this invention holds great historical importance within the realm of science and physics. By exploring how pressure affects various substances like water and steam, it exemplifies how scientific discoveries can shape everyday life. As we admire this stunning piece of art from Science Photo Library, let us appreciate both the beauty inherent in historical artifacts as well as their profound influence on our present-day lives.
