Result

There you go, your pressure cooker is now perfectly cleaned and descaled :-)

Easy, fast and effective, right? No more traces of limescale and no need to scrub!

As there is no need to rub, no risk of scratching it.

And it costs nothing, since all you need is potato peelings.

This thing is very effective for descaling stainless steel or aluminum pressure cookers, whatever the brand:Seb, Tefal, Arthur Martin, Lagostina...

Know that it also works for saucepans, pots or pans.

Bonus tip

If you don't have potato peels on hand, no worries!

You can use the same trick but replacing the potato skins with 1/2 glass of white vinegar.

To do this, simply put the white vinegar in the pressure cooker, fill the rest of the container with water and boil everything for 5 min.

Here too, thanks to the formidable effectiveness of vinegar against limescale, your pressure cooker will be perfect!
