Amazon.com Review:
Pressure cookers have experienced renewed popularity over the last several years because cooks have rediscovered what some cooks (particularly grandmas) have known for a long time--they're really fast. And it's easy to cook healthfully with pressure cookers, since the food retains so much more of its nutrients and flavor. Presto's 6-quart stainless steel pressure cooker is a multi-purpose pot that can stand in as a conventional soup pot as well as perform the kitchen magic that pressure cookers are famous for. Chicken Cacciatore cooks in 8 minutes! This professional-quality stainless steel pressure cooker is a handy addition to any well-rounded set of kitchen tools.
The heavy-duty lid locks down during cooking; an inner sealing ring keeps the steam in. In addition to a pop-up pressure indicator and a simple steam release mechanism, there is an overpressure plug that will let off steam if it builds up excessively. This pressure cooker is useful for weeknight dinners or for any meal that needs to come together quickly. An accompanying booklet contains more than 65 recipes, ranging from basic soup stocks to stews and pot roasts--even desserts like 5-minute custards! Tenderize lean cuts of beef or pork; or cook chicken, fish, or vegetables faster than you can in a microwave, and without losing moisture.
Nonabrasive cleansers are best for cleaning this stainless steel pressure cooker, though occasional use of a fine metal polish will help the exterior keep its shine. The Presto 6-quart pressure cooker is fully immersible; in addition, the sealing ring should be removed after each use to allow cleaning of the inside rim of the lid. The vent pipe is simple to keep clean with a small brush or pipe cleaner, and both the air vent/cover lock and the overpressure plug are removable. The pressure cooker measures 9 inches in diameter (17 inches including handles) and 8-1/2 inches tall (including lid). Presto guarantees this pressure cooker with an extended 12-year warranty. A detailed instruction and recipe booklet is included; special safety issues that pertain to pressure cookers are clearly explained. --Garland Withers

Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - I like the noise it makes
I like the noise the Presto makes; if it didn't make noise, I might forget about it.I start it on a high setting (7) and lower it to 4 when it starts to make noise.Then I time it for whatever I am cooking.Mostly I use stainless steel bowls like a double boiler, perfect rice every time, and the bowls are easier to clean than the cooker itself.The recipe book says not to cook split peas but if you rinse them well and put two tablespoonfuls of cooking oil on top, they cook just fine, I never ...

Rating:  - Not a Canner
In the product description, it states "Comes with rack for steaming food or for canning." Yet on arrival, there is no way to regulate the pressure as needed for canning. I called Presto and they said it was not intended for canning. Now I have to return it.
Rating: - Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker
I bought this for future use, so I haven't used it yet.But examining it, it looks well built and will last for a long time.The price was the best I could find on the internet.
Rating: - Everything burns
It's pretty and it cooks, but everything burns on the smallest of cooking flames.And it burns evenly across the bottom of the pot, so the heat-plate is distributing the heat. My ex-wife has possession of the fancy Italian pressure cooker which never burned anything.Sweet mysteries of life.
Rating:  - "Cooking Times" may be a bit deceptive.
The so-called "cooking times" seem short and very fast, but they don't take into account the time it takes to build up the pressure, which is often longer than the actual stated cooking times.For example, to cook potatoes the time is given as 8 minutes, but it takes 10 minutes to build up the full pressure before you're to start timing, so it's really 18 minutes.Plan accordingly.It's even worse for recipes done in parts where you cool it down to add a second step or things that would over cook ...
