Clipper Corporation – a supplier of commercial cookware in the foodservice industry – announces the launch of the VIKING® Culinary line, including an innovation in pressure-cooking.

The Viking Pressure Cooker will change the landscape of pressure-cooking by making it simpler and more accessible to the home user. No longer is there a need to line up the lid and handle just right to create a pressure safe seal. The Viking Pressure Cooker uses a simple lock/unlock function to securely clamp the lid down on the vessel. You can set the lid on any direction you wish and then just push the lock button and you are ready to cook.

Features Include:

• Open and close the lid with the touch of a button
• Can be used on any cooking surface, including induction
• Energy saving – Reduce cooking times by half or more
• Pressure release dial allows you to easily adjust the pressure
• Durable stainless steel construction
• Pressure indicator identifies when the cooker has reached full pressure
• Easy grip, stay cool lid and handles
• Available in Black, Champagne and Red

The Viking Pressure Cooker will be available in 5 Quart and 8 Quart sizes in November 2014 at specialty and gourmet retailers. For more information visit www.vikingculinaryproducts.com.
