Product Description
PRE 6 QUART S/S PRESSURE COOKER PRESTO
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

 Presto Pressure Cookers are Great! July 12, 2010
Rick
We bought this one for our son and daughter-in-law because she loves to cook; but we have several of them and love the Presto cookers, esp. our stainless steel one. They (Presto) are a good company, have been around for a long time and always give us good service. My wife enjoys cooking and has used her cookers for many different applications...a great tool!

This product is no good. The metal that is used to manufacture this thing is of a poorer quality to the one I bought 3 years ago. The handles are soft and appear to be susceptible to breaking. I will not buy the product ever again.
HAPPY LITTLE PRESSURE COOKER June 17, 2010
FELICIA
I bought this model based entirely upon checking all the reviews of all the different pressure cookers--and that this one is stainless steel. I also like the extra handle opposite the locking handles.
This little pressure cooker is a joy. The booklet of directions is less of a joy because it is poorly organized, so the information that one must add a tablespoon of oil, must not go past the line inside, how to open, etc. does not all appear in a logical sequence or even in the same place.
Still, it is a happy addition to our lives. After using this for some months, and following the directions, it burned a pot of beans. I had put in the listed amount of water, oil, under the line, etc. so I ignored the smell of burning. Never do that. The inside was burned on beans. It seemed a disaster. Then a friend spent 15 minutes and scrubbed it back to its shiny original shape.
Excellent Pressure Cooker June 8, 2010
Kevin Bissell (Saint Helens, OR)
Very easy to use. Helpful instructions and simple recipes to get started make it very easy to use for first timers. Always make sure there's enough liquid and you should be fine.
