 Bottom bulged, so it wobbled on the stove. Do not buy this cooker! June 14, 2008

I purchased this cooker a couple of years ago. After a few gentle uses, I noticed that the bottom was warped, causing it to wobble on the stove. I know that if it's not sitting flat, it's not making good contact with the burner. I don't give space in my kitchen to products that can't stand up to use. Do not buy this Mirro pressure cooker. It isn't worth the money. I bought the Presto stainless steel 4qt pressure cooker, and can't say enough good things about it. Read my other reviews. You'll see that I don't give negative reviews unless they are deserved.
misrepresented pressure cooker May 9, 2008
Cynthia Stilley (VA, USA)
The blurb for this pressure cooker doesn't mention that it only operates at 10 psi, not the usual adjustable 5, 10, 15 psi. So this is a good product if you want to do the math to convert all your pressure cooker recipes. I don't. I sent it back.
 just as good as the old time March 5, 2008

We have owned this pressure cooker for a few years. It has served us pretty well and has frustrated us plenty as well. The gaskets in these break down and release all of the pressure. You may end up playing the game of opening and closing the pan a few times to get it to pressurize. It is a good sized pan for doing a bag of beans, or a simple meat dish for less than 6 servings.
If you have been afraid of the pressure cookers, don't be any longer. These gadgets are very safe and will turn you into a world class frugal gourmet. The safety features are so numerous and foolproof that they border on ridiculous. The old days of exploding pressure cookers is gone; unless you can find a way to bypass at least 6 safety mechinisms. Buy one, maybe not this one, and save on cheap meats and low priced beans and legumes. They cook up so tender and so flavorful and so fast that you will never want to live without one again.
