Product Description:
This ample-sized cooker allows you to prepare a whole chicken, up to a 4-lb. roast, soups, stews - even a cheesecake for dessert. You'll find it's the perfect size for serving 6-8 hungry guests or family members, especially when you're strapped for time. This Duromatic cooker decreases cooking time up to one-third without sacrificing flavor or nutrients. In addition, the spring-loaded valve takes away the guesswork of cooking by offering visual indicators for you to see the exact pressure so you can plan your cooking accordingly. Unlike pressure cookers of yesteryear, you'll never experience noisy steam escaping or mushy food! The integrated lid-locking system offers no fewer than five safety release systems. Perhaps most important is that you can cook high-fiber, low-fat foods in record time while preserving essential vitamins and nutrients - and conserving energy! The 18/10 stainless surface won't interact with food; interior fill lines prevent overfilling. Comes with a Quick Cuisine cookbook that includes delicious recipes for everything from savory dishes to desserts.Part of the Kuhn Rikon family of products, Duromatic pressure cookers are made by experts with more than 50 years experience in their field. Each cooker combines the latest technology with top-notch quality. Their safety design has set the standard worldwide.
Amazon.com Review:
If cooking with a pressure cooker sounds old-fashioned, think again. Great strides have enhanced the Duromatic since its inception in 1949. Swiss company Kuhn Rikon has made the pressure cooker quieter, safer, and a smart option in today's world, given how quickly it cooks and how much energy it saves. Pressure cookers are rapidly gaining in popularity, and this one is an exceptional model crafted in Switzerland. You'll find such foods as rice, grains, stews, poultry, and vegetables cook in just one-third the time of conventional methods, and retain vital nutrients. Choose from a variety of sizes to meet any household's needs. By saving 70 percent of the gas or electricity normally used in conventional cooking, the pressure cooker can pay for itself in just months.
The Duromatic is constructed of 18/10 stainless steel that encapsulates a solid aluminum core in the base for quick, even heating. Put in your ingredients (recipes are included), and the integrated lid automatically locks and won't open under pressure. A new generation spring-loaded valve uses red lines to show you at a glance whether the right pressure has been reached, and when cooking is done, you simply turn the knob for quick or slow release. Unlike old models, the Duromatic cooks quietly, without hissing, and five safety releases let you rest assured the pressure won't get too great. Kuhn Rikon covers the dishwasher-safe Duromatic with a 10-year warranty on materials and workmanship, and guarantees parts will be available for 15 years. --Ann Bieri

- A let down...
I recently purchased the Kuhn Rikon 5 Qt. Duromatic Top Model Pressure Cooker and was looking forward to using it, after having read through the user manual a couple times.
As instructed, when the pre-soaked chick peas came to a boil, I put the top on and locked it in place. The cooker then immediately produced a hissing sound and a continual release of steam.
The manual said this is not supposed to happen unless the cooker has reached maximum pressure, yet the pressure ... Read More

This Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker is a terrific addition to our kitchen. We have used it many, many times and have a 100% success rate with what we have made. We also had purchased Miss Vickie's Big Book of Pressure Cooker Recipes from Amazon and the information and recipes are excellent.
This was money well spent.
Pressure cooking really does save time when you need to cook something quickly.
Rating: - I can't believe I cooked without one for so long
Easy to use, fast, and amazing. Nothing to be scared off. It saves time, energy and creates beautiful flavors. While expensive, I see it as one timee investment that will last for 10+ years.
Rating: - Excellent pressure cooker
I have always been leery of pressure cookers, but my brother in law showed my his Rikon, and now that i have one, i have to agree.This is incredible.Quiet, and it does just what it says.I have used it for potatoes, roasts, and beans all perfect.The cook book that comes with it is excellent, and takes all the fear of using a pressure cooker away.
While more expensive them most, it is worth the extra, a good value.
