Like the pressure cooker, the form of the cataplana ensures that the steam from cooking the food is retained in the utensil,generating an increase in pressure and permitting cooking temperatures above 100°C. In addition, its concave shape, together with the excellent thermal conductivity of copper, means that the heat is distributed more uniformly in its interior, thereby ensuring more even cooking of the food. On a low heat,for example, this heat distribution makes the utensil more energy effic 更多
