Origin: French, Chinese, Italian (Traditional) — Europe and Asia
See full technique reference →Under 15 psi pressure, the boiling point rises to ~121 °C, allowing collagen to hydrolyze into gelatin. The high pressure accelerates the reaction, producing a silky texture while limiting Maillard browning. The sealed environment preserves moisture, flavor, and nutrients.
