Presto Cookers 2010-08-30

By davidfromkeno

I have used stainless presto pressure cookers for over 30 years, This was a gift to my daughter.

Leaks steam 2010-08-29

By Todd Mansfield (Cincinnati, OH United States)

Leaks steam. Have to run the burner so hard it scorches the food on the bottom before the safety lock and gasket will seat. Yes I removed and cleaned the gasket. Unacceptable

Well built, quiet, good looking, and gets the job done. 2010-08-27

By R. Hettinger (Boston, MA USA)

Overall, I am very happy with this cooker.

Good parts:
* It is surprisingly quiet and easy to use.
* It looks better than its photo.
* Stainless steel cleans easily in the dishwasher.
* Fantastic value.

Minor nits:
* Some assembly required (screwing on the handles).
* Would be nice if it had a fast pressure release valve.
* The including steaming rack is too shallow (less than 1 centimeter).
* The short handle gets hot (this is probably unavoidable though).

Interesting results:
* Cooks fantastic baby back ribs (2 1/2 lbs) in 40 minutes.
* Perfect pearled barley in 16 minutes.
* Not suitable at all for steel cut oats (they foam and jam the vent).

This is a wonderful product. I have three of them. With them I am able to prepare a meat and two vegetables in a matter of minutes. I would recommend using a pressure cooker to anyone.
