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 4-quart aluminum 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 durable, polished-aluminum pressure cooker is an economical 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 roast--even desserts like Oatmeal-Apple Crisp! 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 polished aluminum pressure cooker, though occasional use of a fine metal polish will help the exterior keep its shine. The Presto 4-quart aluminum 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 (14 inches including handle) and 7 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

- 4Quart pressure cooker
Pressure cookers are simple and this one simply worked as it was designed to do: Plop the food and water into the unit. Close the lid.Make sure the weight is on the steam spout. Put the unit onto the heat source. When the weight starts to wiggle set a timer and reduce the heat.When the timer goes off turn the heat off and your food is ready.What could be simpler?
Rating: - Best pressure cooker out there!
This is a great pressure cooker.I had another that I didn't like and decided to just get a Presto one.I like that rack inside that suspends food so it doesn't burn on the bottom, and it is neat and clean.
Rating: - Modern, up dated recipes
My new pressure cooker is almost the same as the first Presto Pressure Cooker that I recived as a wedding gift in 1963.The recipes are so different but give the same great, fast results. I still have my old 1963 recipe book and it has no recipe like Chicken Breasts Tarragon which is in the new cookbook.My new pressure cooker has more safety features than my old one so I am even more confortable using a pressure cooker. I was disappointed that the extra glass lid that you can order does not fit ... Read More
Rating: - 4 Qt Pressure Cooker very handy
I've had a 6 qt pressure cooker for 20 years and I've been very happy with it.This 4 qt version is a better size for cooking 1-2 servings of a particular dish.I wish I'd gotten one a long time ago.As with all pressure cookers, it shines at cooking dried beans and grain in the shortest possible time.
Rating: - Works well!
Got it as a gift, it works very well, and has created many tasty meals in a short amount of time!
its simple to use, but read the instructions first! the included cooking times book is a nice touch.
I am happy with this purchase of the aluminum version vs the steel, the heat spreads evenly and is lighter. Costs a bit more but is worth it not to have burnt food at the bottom!
it includes different racks as well for steaming.
This is a good size for ... Read More
