Item : B00006ISG6 Customer Reviews Save Gas and Electricity! by .. Nuknuk (Springfield, VA United States) Gas and electricity has gone up so much lately. Pressure cookers can help you save by making cooking a lot much faster. It comes with a compact user guide and a small cookbook. Pressure cookers can be dangerous, so make sure to read the safety precautions. Never fill it more than 2/3 of its capacity. You cannot open the lid while it is still pressurized with the built-in precautionary lock, but the rocker valve can easily get toppled and extremely hot steam can escape through it. Pros: - Stainless steel. You do not want aluminum for health reasons. - We have been using this for more than 5 years. We just have to replace the rubber gasket around the lid. - Although not as cheap as we like it to be, if you compare it to other manufacturers, you still save some money. Cons: - The pressure valve rocker. Other pressure cookers (but more expensive) has a non-removable pressure valve. It is often get misplaced. - The rocker makes quite a bit noise. Perfect for fast cooking by .. Q. Karels (Center of the Universe) I bought this to quickly make stocks, and cook soups and vegetables. It really does work, and makes yum-yum foods quickly, when one doesn't have the time to spend 3 hours making foods. I'm impressed by the quality of the stainless steel, particularly the bottom, which is pretty thick. I don't see any downsides to owning one. Presto 6-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker by .. Launcher Man (MA USA) Well made. Performs as advertised. Good thermal properties. I replaced our old AL pressure cooker with this SS model and it is far superior. Presto 6 Qt. Pressure Cooker by .. Margaret McVey (Los Angeles, CA) I was a little hesitant to buy this product due the reputation of the old fashioned exploding pressure cooker, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's very simple to use and performs as advertised. I've been very busy making all kinds of tasty soups in record time. I would definitely recommend this product. The only warning I would give is to be careful when washing the cooker as it has very sharp cutouts around the top. All in all, a great product. Great cooker, great price. by .. Michelle Neubert (kingman, arizona) A confirmed popcorn addict who is getting away from teflon, plastic, and aluminum. This pressure cooker in stainless is the answer to my dreams. Very happy.
