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

- Save Gas and Electricity!
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 ... Read More
Rating: - Perfect for fast cooking
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.
Rating: - Presto 6-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker
Well made.Performs as advertised.Good thermal properties.I replaced our old AL pressure cooker with this SS model and it is far superior.
Rating: - Presto 6 Qt. Pressure Cooker
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.
