hey I'm right Chris for CNN today we're taking a look at the Wolfgang Puck pressure oven this is a two hundred and forty nine dollar countertop appliance that combines the capabilities of a pressure cooker with the convenience and versatility of a countertop toaster oven so this is a pretty powerful machine a lot of energy goes into making your food and you use this thing it's going to use the pressure that escapes your food as you heat it and trap it inside the way a pressure cooker does to speed up cooking time and infuse flavor and moisture into your meal I spoke with chef puck over Skype earlier this week to talk about is oven here's some of what he had to say I saw it like three four years ago I said wouldn't it be great if somebody could help me develop an open more for the restaurant first where you could roast for example a chicken everybody in the restaurant says I want a great roasted chicken and people talk about it like it's the second coming then they said you know what this is perfect for your home use let me show you how this thing works you're gonna press this button down here to open the door just sort of like a microwave you put your food in set the temperature in the time and cook normally if you want but if you want a pressure cook your food you'll also need to set this vent to the sealed position and then seal the oven with this lever here when you're finished pressure cooking and you want to take your food out you'll need to vent the Machine first you'll do that by switching the gasket over to vent mode letting all that heat that's built up escape and then you'll unseal it open it take it out it'll be fine but if you don't do that you risk scalding yourself so there is a little bit of extra care involved with using this machine and this oven claims that it can cook a 14 pound turkey in under an hour in the pressure cooking mode we can't wait to try that out in our Test Kitchen and when we publish the full review in the coming weeks we'll be sure to let you know how it does four see that I'm right Chris
