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 8-quart 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! And it's big enough for home canning, too. (The USDA recommends pressure canning as the only safe method for low-acid foods such as vegetables, meats, and poultry.) 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 75 recipes, ranging from basic soup stocks to stews and pot roasts--even desserts like Petite Pumpkin 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 8-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 10-1/2 inches in diameter (15-1/2 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

The pressure cooker is great.I use it at least 3 or 4 times per week. It's so fast and cooks everything so tender and good.Last night, I cooked a 31/2 lb. pork sirloin roast and saurkraut and it only took 55 minutes.The 8 quart is a great size, even for only 2 people.I wouldn't go any smaller.Plus I like the stainless steel vs. the aluminum ones, because they don't discolor as bad inside.I've got more use out of this pressure cookerthan any other appliance in the kitchen, except maybe ...

This is idle pressure cooker and the most convenient one too. Where I came from all our recipes and local food are cooked with pressure cookersand we are very familiar with the European models like Turbo and Saab. When I came to the US for study I was surprised how people are afraid ofit and hesitate before buying one. So I start looking for the perfect one and this came upon me. What caught my attention in this model are:
- Stainless steel (DON'T USE ALUMINUM)
- Tight seal ... Read More
