Presto 01362 6-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this cooker 6 months ago from amazon for $35, and frankly, although the reviews I read on this product all said that it's great, I was very skeptical about the $35 price tag and was not expecting much. On top of that, both my mother and my mother-in-law warned me that cheap pressure cookers are dangerous, and I *must* buy something more expensive for safety reasons. I am just very glad that they were both wrong!
This is definitely one of the best purchases I have made on amazon. I still cannot believe they sell this for $35! The pot does not feel cheap at all. It has very sturdy handles, and a thick, heavy bottom, which holds in heat well. I like this pan so much that sometimes I use it instead of my skillet to sautee meat, because of the deeper pot + the cover, less cleaning up for me :-)
I love making soup and stock, but it usually takes up so much of my time when the stock is simmering. With this pressure cooker, I can make a meat-fall-off-the-bone soup in an hour!
Some might find this pot to be a little on the small side, but this pot works great for my wife and I. Although we have guests over regularly, I find the capacity of the pot to be very good. I would guess that this pot would work well for up to a 4-person family.
Pros:
=====
- Cheap, at $35, it's hard to beat
- Sturdy, I was afraid that the plastic handles would break easily, but they are in fact quite strong
- Stainless steel makes it great for browning meat pieces for stew or stock, and it heats up fast and holds heat well.
- Safe, you cannot open it when it's pressurized.
- Dish washer safe, though I prefer to wash it by hand.
Cons:
=====
- The handle can be tricky to hold with one hand. My hands are small, and when you've closed the top, the handle is kind of big. Luckily, I don't need to do this very often, and when I need to move it around, I just use both handles.
- The top cap can be tricky to clean. I usually soak it in hot soapy water, and then clean it thoroughly with Q-tip.
Watch outs:
===========
- The handle curves in a way that it catches any dripping liquid, I've hurt myself once when I wasn't careful at opening the cover.
- Do *NOT* remove the cap while it's blowing! The steam from inside is extremely hot and as soon as you remove the cap, the hot steam will shoot up faster than you can move your hand(s) away.
Tips:
=====
- I keep some water bottles in my freezer, and when I need to cool this off in a hurry, I can make a bath of cold water in my sink, put the hot pot inside, and throw the froze water bottles in. This usually cools it down very fast, great when I want to refrigerate it overnight to skim off the fat, and didn't want to wait too long for it to cool down.

Fissler 021 644 12 002 Blue Point Schnellkochtopf Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got kind of caught up in thinking a cheap pressure cooker would do. Been there, wished I hadn't done that with other stuff. But anyway purchased this set, and at the price I considered the product needed to be premium. It actually comes also with a steamer basket and stand for the steamer basket that's not mentioned. For me it's turned out to be the perfect ensemble, giving both skillet for curries and one person meals, as well as a larger stock pot for stocks and larger meals. So it's really a six piece set, 2 more than the 4 pieces shown.
In the performance category it heats up very nicely and when I brown before pressurizing it cooks evenly. It's a great fit for small burners. Once heated up, it takes very little heat to keep it pressurized. On my induction range, the skillet will stay pressurized at a setting of 2.4 of 10 (on electric dial). The larger pot will stay fully pressurized from 3.0 to 4.5 depending on what it's cooking. When cooking lentils I like to cook them so they are thick when done, rather than soupy. In a pan with a flimsy bottom they can burn quite easily. But the dal comes out nice in the skillet and it's easy to tell the heat is being evenly diffused, no hot spots. But also, because it will stay pressurized at such a low heat, there is even less likelihood of scorching.
There is a stainless steel covered aluminum disk on the bottom so it does work well with induction. But also, pan has some heft and seems to insulate well so I can use the lower heat settings as already mentioned.
In terms of making stocks, I frequently make both chicken and beef stocks, and had been using an 8 qt dutch oven that I'd keep at around 5.5 out of 10 and let run for hours (up to 8). Now for chicken in 40 minutes and beef stock with roasted bones around 80 minutes. The chicken stock in particular has a very nice yellow hue that I'd never been able to obtain with the dutch oven. The beef stock gets much more gelatin than I'd ever gotten out of the bones with the dutch oven. Both stocks are the tastiest I've made when using the dutch oven (a heavy cast iron pot). So in terms of pressure cookers for stocks, this is a big winner. But I assume any pressure cooker will make a good stock. I've made several of the recipes in the included recipe book as well as recipes from another book and just cooked various curries and spicy lentils with no particular recipe.
The instructions are written in clear English and there are two booklets included. One of them has about 30 recipes including a couple put together just for this set of cookware.
I frequently will use both at once, cooking the faster dish in the skillet, then transferring the lid and covering the skillet with the glass lid and storing in a warmer drawer until the larger pot finishes. This has been a very efficient method to cook several dishes quickly.
The blue with white ring pop up is very nice and convenient way to see the pressure level. In particular with an induction (or a gas range I'm sure), it's quite simple to get it to a pressure you like or to keep it fully pressurized with just a little blow over. Very satisfied with that. The pop us is clearly marked so you can really set it at any pressure you want through adjusting heat level. Again, on an induction range this is very simple to do.
This pressure cooker is absolutely silent when you adjust the heat right to just let it have the slightest bit of blowoff, which comes out practically silently.
Cleanup. What can I say except absolutely simple and fast. Nothing to disassemble, you just clean it. The silicon gasket pops right out and back in with no fuss or muss. The nice stainless steel surface is holding up well (I've had the set about a month now and used it almost daily). No handles to remove and reassemble.
The set comes packed very well. No worries about damage in shipping. The knob on the glass lid needs reversed (easier to pack with knob in the convex side of the glass lid), but that takes all of one minute. The box is surprisingly sturdy. I'm keeping it to use for storage.
The construction of the pans seems top notch. Though the handles are plastic. I can envision that someone will put the skillet on a large burner and scorch the handles, but with an induction range, I don't have that concern. But I can say I use both pans on the smaller burners of my range, not the largest. Induction tends to work better with proper sizing. But because of the way the bottom is tapered, this does free up the larger burner for some other pan that needs more burner.
Overall, I'm happy with this purchase and the product. Given the results I've been getting and the ease of cleanup, the price hasn't bothered me either. Seems like a good value. Can't find anything to complain about, rather I'm quite excited about the new and better outcomes I've been getting with some dishes that I'd thought were already as good as they could be, but are turning out more flavorful and cooked in a fifth the time or faster.
I considered models like Kuhn Rikon, but think Fissler has them beat on ease of cleanup, and also think at best the Kuhn Rikon cooks the same as the Fissler. I have a Kuhn Rikon sauce pan and the bottom plate for heat diffusion is very similar however the Fissler just seems to be thought through a little better (it's ever so slightly curved on purpose so that when it heats up it's perfectly flat). Fissler calls the bottom 'Cook Star' technology, for better and more even heat diffusion. I suspect it would work very nicely with gas. The Kuhn Rikon bottom plate, in comparision is just a flag plate with the company name stamped in the middle (on my sauce pan, I don't have the Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker).
Fissler seems like it's new on the US market but it's clear they didn't just start selling product here with no forethought or business planning (like Mageplus with Spanish instruction manuals). Rather it's clear they've setup a US office and division to serve this market and guarantee at least 10 year part availability from date of purchase. Though I do wish we could buy the European market models that allow higher pressures. Maybe I'll pick up a lid when I'm over there next time. Anyway, even if they do stop selling here in the US for some reason (as in no one buys their product), there's still plenty of time to stock up on gaskets. But being silicon gaskets, they look like they might last for 5 years, even though Fissler recommends replacing after 2 years or 400 pressurizations. I've probably done 50 pressurizations on lid so far, and the gasket looks like new. When well made, silicon seems to last forever.
For me this pressure cooker set has worked out well. I can and do recommend it with no reservations. If motivated, I will update in about two years to give an update.

Kuhn Rikon 3342 5-1/4-Quart Stainless-Steel Pressure Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've gone through 4 or 5 pressure cookers in the last 10 years, and I think I've finally found one I like. I work full time (40-60 hours a week), and I like to cook, so the time saved by pressure cooking is important to me. I use the pressure cooker mostly for meat, potatoes, beans and lentils. Typically, meat cooks in about 1/3 the time it would take in a regular pot. Pressure cooked meat is very tender and flavorful, but you need some experience in matching the cooking time to the type of meat. You have to be careful not to overcook.
The construction and finish of this cooker are excellent. It is made of stainless steel, with a thick aluminum plate at the bottom to spread the heat. This is a useful feature. Typically, pressure cooking requires high heat initially to quickly build up steam pressure before you turn the heat down. That is when food can burn and stick to the bottom of the cooker. This cooker spreads heat very well. So long as you use the prescribed amount of water or other cooking liquid, this cooker will not burn food at the bottom.
There is a two-level steam pressure indicator on the lid. The cooker comes with two booklets containing recipes, and a very comprehensive list of recommended cooking times for all sorts of meats, poultry, vegetables, beans, etc. If you follow directions, the cooker does not whistle or otherwise make any objectionable sounds. I can barely hear it from 10 feet away. Of course, if you forget to turn down the heat after the cooker is up to full cooking pressure, it will release a loud burst of steam. This is a safety feature.
The cooker has a shield on top of the lid to direct any escaping steam downwards, so there is no danger of burning your hands.
Kuhn-Rikon recommends using nylon spatulas to maintain the mirror-like finish, but you'll find them sadly inadequate when, for example, browning meat. I use a heavy gauge steel Calphalon spatula and steel tongs. After several months, I can see minor scratch marks inside the cooker, but the outside is still bright and shiny! Anyway, cookware should be designed to take this kind of handling -- it is meant to be useful rather than decorative. Stainless steel is the best material to withstand normal levels of use and abuse, and this cooker handles it well.
Keep in mind that a pressure cooker can't be filled to the top when cooking. It should never be more than half or two-thirds full, so the 5 liter capacity translates to about 2.5-3.0 liters of usable capacity. If you cook large quantities, you might want to get a bigger model.
This is a relatively expensive cooker, but it is well worth the money.

Kuhn Rikon Duromatic Anniversary 3.7-Quart Pressure Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I don't know what I would do without my pressure cooker! and I know I would not buy any other kind but Kuhn Rikon. There is no way to be disappointed with this product unless you just don't know how to use it. We are vegetarian and live on a very healthy, grain, rich in legumes type of diet .. my kids love rice cereal, steal cut oats ..etc. and I just can't imagine making life easy without one of these .. instead of having to plan ahead or wait 45minutes to 2 hours for some dishes *(like barley and wild rice) it takes anywhere from 2 minutes to steam veggies and cook pasta, to 30 minutes max for the harder grains (without soaking!) I highly recommend this product ... it is an essential must have in every kitchen! just throw everything in (all those yummy grains, veggies, and even meat if you like, with a good broth) lock it and let it do its thing! :)

This 8-inch, 3-3/4-quart pressure cooker celebrates Kuhn Rikon's 50 years of making great pressure cookers. Like all Kuhn Rikon cookers, this anniversary edition quickly and healthfully cooks foods with trapped steam at temperatures higher than boiling. It's the ideal size for singles, small families, and vegetarians, and makes dishes for three to five people. Pressure cooking requires little water so nutrients, flavor, and color are not boiled away. Made of heavyweight, mirror-finish, 18/10 stainless steel that won't react with food, the cooker has a stay-cool handle and an aluminum disk sandwiched in stainless steel in its bottom to quickly and uniformly conduct heat. A bright blue steam diffuser on the lid displays cooking times of 20 popular dishes. The cooker comes with a stainless-steel steaming trivet and a Quick Cuisine cookbook containing 100 pages of recipes and tips.
Kuhn Rikon Duromatic pressure cookers are designed with safety in mind. The automatic lid-locking device insures that no pressure can build up until the lid is put on correctly. The lid cannot be removed or come off until all pressure has been released. The cookers also provide the ultimate protection against excess pressure. The first indication that too much pressure has built up inside the cooker is the audible hiss as excess pressure is released through the valve. (When the user hears this, the heat should be turned down.) The valve will take care of any over pressurization by allowing steam to escape through the holes located on the valve stem. Additionally, another spring-loaded safety valve in the lid is set to release steam in case of a clogged main valve. This valve is not a "blow plug" like some old American cookers had, but a highly accurate spring-loaded valve that will open at a preset internal pressure and release steam safely and effectively.
This Duromatic pressure cooker can be used on any cooktop. It can go into the oven only at settings below 300 degrees F because of the stay-cool handle and valves. The pot is dishwasher safe, although the gasket and lid should be washed by hand. This pressure cooker carries a 10-year warrantee on all non-replaceable parts, material, and workmanship.

Imusa 7-1/2-Quart Aluminum Pressure Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Admittedly I kinda bought this as a mid sized pot for steaming and pasta. My other pot is a bit small and my giant ones aren't needed as much. The aluminum pot of course heats lightning fast to make some quick pasta etc... So I gave it a go. (Remember aluminum is reactive so not good for tomatoe sauce etc. But heats at an incredible rate for speed)
And I haven't had a pressure cooker in like 20 years. Not since the early 80's when I was a kid. So I was like hey pressure could be cool again! So It was kinda a fun nostalgia thing for me.
But I put it to the test and it really kicks butt. I wanted to make some potato water for a sourdough starter I was making. What I got was potato water and potatoes for potato salad in minutes! I totally forgot how fast these things are. The salad was great.
It is a nice classic one with the weight jiggler like I am used to. But also has a safety pressure latch to hold the handle when under pressure. AND a separate pressure safety valve. AND a slot away from where the handle sits so the gasket can blow slightly if all else fails. VERY well designed.
Also the gasket is made of silicone. Wich is VERY good if you braise using anything with alcohol in it. (Such as wine) Silicone doesn't decompose when exposed to alcohol such as rubber products wich actually dissolve over time.
I recommend it to anyone who needs a mid sized pot or wants to make an awesome dinner in literally a FRACTION of the normal time. I will be using the pressure top ALOT! :) Keeps FULL pressure at an extremely low flame setting.

Fagor Splendid 4-Quart Pressure Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)1. Cooking with a pressure cooker
Think of a pressure cooker as a crock pot on steroids. The increased pressure inside the sealed vessel results in an elevated boiling point, producing a higher cooking temperature for faster cooking. The standard pressure for these cookers is 15 psi, raising the boiling point from 212f to 250f. Current design features considerably improve the safety of these pots over WWII vintage kitchen bombs.
Pressure cookers are perfect for pot roasts, stews, soups, stocks and long-simmering sauces, reducing cooking times by as much as seventy percent. Beans cook faster in a pressure cooker, although their soaking time is unaffected. Rice will cook faster, too, although the convenience of a dedicated rice cooker is beyond dispute.
Some pressure cookers let users select a second, lower pressure setting (8 psi, bp @ 215f), which yields considerably less accelerated cooking. Why slow down a high-speed cooker? Because some foods, like veggies and fish, cook quickly, and when cooked at 15 psi it is difficult to control doneness. (Recipes for these foods call for running cold water over the pot lid to quickly reduce the pressure and lower the temperature to stop the cooking. For more usual dishes, one would merely turn off the heat and let the cooking coast to a stop.) Pot-count or hubris may move some chefs to use their pressure cookers to prepare delicate foods regardless of the risk of under/over-cooking. The low pressure setting is intended to help these people. For most cooks, foods that cook quickly are better prepared using conventional methods. Arguably, a clever chef could use a pressure cooker as their only pot for all purposes, a desirable feature when living out of a knapsack on a desert isle where time is money or fuel is precious.
For most cooks, a pressure cooker will not be an essential kitchen utensil, but it is desirable for its ability to shorten long simmer times. An eight-quart pot is probably the most versatile size for most users, because the pot can only be filled to half or at most two-thirds capacity. If veggies are to be steamed rather than boiled, you will need a steamer insert. Expect a learning curve as you discover how to operate the pot and adjust cooking times. A pressure cooker should be stored unassembled, and the gasket (about $10) may need to be replaced occasionally. All parts should be hand washed. The the pot and lid are ruined if dinged where the gasket seats.
2. The Fagor Pressure Cooker
Fagor in Spain is like General Dynamics in the US - a huge industrial conglomerate. Their "Commercial" (and similar "Splendid") model pressure cooker has a substantial heft to it and seems ready to withstand the rigors of the kitchen. An aluminum heat dispersion disc, completely encapsulated in stainless steel, is bonded to the bottom of the thick-walled stainless steel pot. The stainless steel lid is similarly substantial, and is polished to a mirror finish. The handles seen sturdy enough, although they are plastic and subject to damage. An order form for replacement parts is provided in the box and parts are available over the Internet (www.fagoramerica.com). An instruction booklet is incluye, imperfectly translated from the Spanish. An 80-page recipe book is also included, with full color photographs of fabulous dishes, several of which cannot be prepared in the cooker(!).
The regulator control dial on this unit has three positions: Pressurized (15 psi), open, and remove valve. The lid has a safety interlock that prevents it from being opened while the pot is pressurized, and a small plastic rod pops up to indicate the interlock is active. (One reviewer suggested this rod indicates the pot has reached 15 psi, but this is not so; you know the pot has reached 15 psi when steam starts to escape from the regulator valve.) Another safety feature is a slot in the lid that allows part of the gasket to blow out if the pot has been over-filled.
I was attracted to this model pressure cooker because it seemed to represent an attractive price-performance point. My experience has confirmed that. The value of a second, low pressure setting is arguable for all but the most dedicated pressure cooker users, and fancy features like a pressure gauge seem minimally useful. If I were to buy another pressure cooker, I would likely select this model again, albeit in an 8-qt version to compliment the 4-qt size that seemed the best size for this bachelor cook.

Manttra 39001 Chef-Xpress 8-Quart Stainless Steel Electric Multi-Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I tried two of these ... returned the first due to a screw head from bottom heating element protruding not slightly ... but enough to crease the bottom of the stainless steel pot. Felt this could be a problem in the future for a pot that undergoes pressure. Also, this unit would not seal. Top did not fit bottom of pan, regardless of gasket.
Second unit I tried would, also, not even come close to sealing. Top turned too far and had to stand there and apply pressure to get my meal done. Luckily, could return this one also. Done with this model!!!

Kuhn Rikon 3043 Duromatic 6.3-Quart (6-Liter) Stockpot Pressure Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am extremely pleased with this item. I learned how to pressure cook with this pot, and now I can have osso buco ready in well under an hour; and I actually prefer it done in the pressure cooker!
Get a Lorna Sass cookbook and go to town with this baby. My only caveat: I usually cook for just two or three, and the size of this pot is fine for that. Most recipes are written for a six quart pressure cooker anyway. Still, there are a few times I wish the cooker was a little bigger so I could cook a larger volume--making stock, for instance, or making a big batch of chili.
If you're cooking for more than a few, you might consider the 8 qt model. That's not a criticism of this pot at all--I wouldn't part with it. It's a tool in my kitchen which I use often, sometimes several times a week. Highly recommended.

Cuisinart Electric Pressure Cooker 6-Quart , Brushed Stainless and Matte Black Model EPC-1200PC Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I purchased my pressure cooker, I was quite the "novice". Like others, I had seen my grandmother use one when I was a child. . . but my mother was always very afraid of pressure cookers and warned me that I would "die" if I ever used one. Friends of my parents had one and cooked chili in it once, and it "exploded" and chili was everywhere. So I just never bothered. Then I came across this one.
A couple of things I didn't know and learned after I received the item. First, you can only fill it from 50 - 60% full, depending upon what you're making. So if you're going to use the pressure cooker then though it says that it's a 6-quart, you can really only cook 3 - 4 quarts.
But here's the really great thing that I learned, and I don't see this in the book or anything. It's not only a pressure cooker. . . It's a Stock Pot or electric pot. . . whatever you want to call it. I've made chicken stock in it, and filled it just about to the top with great results. I've made other soups, which don't need to really use the "pressure cooker" and they have turned-out great. Due to the fact that you can sear meat in it, that's wonderful. . .You can saute. . . you can simmer. . . With three different temperature settings, you can really cook lots of things inside. I made hot & sour soup today, which was fantastic! (no pressure cooking needed) I also like that it's non-stick, and you can easily remove the insert.
I've also made chili, which turned-out really well. I cooked a whole chicken, and that also was great. I purchased a pressure cooker cookbook, just to get some more ideas.
There certainly are "better" / "easier" ways to cook things other than using a pressure cooker, all depending upon the item. For example, I still prefer to use a steamer for veggies. But I think I'm going to get a lot more use out of this than I originally expected,

Reduce time spent in the kitchen preparing meals with the help of this 6-quart electric pressure cooker--it cuts cooking times up to 70-percent when compared to traditional stovetop cooking methods. The unit traps steam inside, which builds up pressure to create hotter temperatures, and its tight seal locks in heat, moisture, and flavor, as well as vitamins and minerals for exceptionally healthy, great-tasting meals like soup, chili, and other one-dish entrees. It also works well for cheesecake and custard, because dessert should never be left off the menu. The unit's push-button controls and easy-to-read digital display eliminate guesswork, while its precision digital thermostat regulates temperatures. Choose from preprogrammed settings for high- or low-pressure cooking, browning, simmering, sauteing, and warming. For safety, the cooker must be fully locked for pressure to build, and it will remain locked until the pressure inside drops to zero. Other highlights include a 99-minute timer with an LED countdown display, cool-touch side handles, and a nonstick cooking pot that cleans up easily by hand or in the dishwasher. A dishwasher-safe trivet also comes included. Housed in brushed stainless steel, the 1000-watt pressure cooker measures 12-1/5 by 12-1/5 by 13-1/5 inches and carries a three-year limited warranty.

The Sharper Image 8149SI Stainless-Steel 5-Quart Pressure Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This pressure cooker is amazing. Purchased it because it's failproof as far as it blowing up like the old style cookers. You can't get the lid off until the steam has dissipated. The meals are quick and delicious. The good part is that you can remove the nonstick cooking pan to wash it. The bad part is that if you spill something inside the part that heats the pan, it is difficult to clean out. I would still recommend it.

Significantly cut cooking times with the help of this 5-quart electric pressure cooker. It combines steam, heat, and pressure--while retaining all the nutrients and flavor of food--for delicious home-cooked meals like vegetable stew, lentil soup, and Texas-style chili. The pressure cooker provides a removable nonstick cooking pot that delivers even heat distribution, and its push-button digital control panel makes it easy to select from low or high pressure and a variety of cooking functions. Choose the warm function to reheat or keep cooked food warm, the brown function to brown food before cooking it under pressure, the steam function to boil liquid for steaming food or cooking rice, or the slow-cook function with delay for slowly cooking food--great for having dinner ready and waiting after a long day at the office. Other highlights include a locking mechanism for safety, a 24-hour digital timer with automatic shut-off, stay-cool side handles for convenient transport, and sleek-looking stainless-steel housing that stays cool to the touch. The multi-function pressure cooker measures approximately 13 by 12-1/5 by 14-4/5 inches.

Kuhn Rikon 6-Piece Duromatic Duo Pressure Cooker Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We tried so many pressure cookers over the years as Indian Cooking demands heavy use of pressure cooking for making lentil soups and curries. We even tried few models from India but none could last more than a few years. Either they have problems with safety valves, handles, or they would become loose too often that requires tightenening of handles. If they last well, they were too bulky and takes almost forever to open and close the lid. Most annoying of all, they all make crazy sound that scares both my kids.
Kuhn Rikon pressure cookers sure have expensive prices but once you see them and feel them, you will find every reason to agree that they are well worth the price. This particular 2 set model is so lovely that my wife decided to get rid of most of her cookware as they both compliment each other so well. They can be used for almost everything we cook for our daily needs. The lids are interchangeable. This makes it so convenient to pressure cook veggies and lentils and then continue to use it with glass lid to make the final curry without having to transfer the cooked veggies and lentils to another cookware to make the curry. You can cook meat much faster and tastier without having to marinate for long.
The small one is so convenient if you have small babies and would like to feed them fresh boiled veggies, rice, or lentils. It saves lot of cooking time and the cook book that comes with it is wonderful. It gives you so many nice and simple receipes for everyone.
Couple of our guests got so impressed with this that they bought it right away from Amazon.com without waiting to get an incredible deal for it in their Amazon.com GoldBox like I did.

Fagor 8-Quart Stainless-Steel Pressure Cooker with Steamer Basket Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I use to own an electric pressure cooker, and after many scorched meals, decided to try a stove-top model. It was the best move I could have made! 18/10 stainless, surrounding aluminum on the bottom has kept every meal scorch-free. I feel completely safe using this pressure cooker. It locks easily, and the dial indicating if the pot is at pressure and if it is at high or low pressure is fool-proof. There is nothing complicated about using this pressure cooker. I just can't say enough about this pot. I have cooked professionally, and I have cooked for many years. I would not be exaggerating if I told you that this is the best-loved piece of cookware that I own. Fagor has produced an outstanding product.

Pressure cookers are gaining momentum as the new healthy, time-saving, and energy-saving way to prepare food. While not a new method, the technology has certainly been transformed over the years to be easier and safer than ever. Constructed from 18/10 stainless steel for long-lasting durability, this 8-quart pressure cooker makes it possible to save up to 70 percent of the time and energy traditionally used in cooking rice, meat, and vegetables. The cooker's lid offers a long handle made of black heat-resistant plastic for comfortable use. A safety-lock handle, visual pressure indicator, and an automatic pressure-release setting ensure the lid won't come off unintentionally. For added convenience, the cooker provides a handy basket insert, complete with legs and a loop handle--great for draining pasta or steaming vegetables. Dishwasher-safe parts make cleanup a snap, and an instruction manual and recipe book come included. Designed for use on all heat sources, the pressure cooker measures approximately 17-1/5 by 11 by 10 inches and carries a 10-year warranty.

Handy Gourmet Microwave Pressure Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a classic case of false advertising. Although the phrase "pressure cooker" is used in the name, the product itself has no facility for holding pressure greater than atmospheric. There are no valves, no seals, no pressure regulation mechanism.
It is light weight plastic with a minimal attachment device for the lid. There is a simple sliding mechanism for closing the lid, and the cooking instructions tell you to leave it *open* during cooking. You are cooling in a tupperware like container vented to *prevent* pressure build up.
