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 stainless steel pressure cooker is a multi-purpose pot that can stand in as a conventional saucepan 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 4-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 (16-1/2 inches including handles) and 6-1/2 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

 I'm very satisfied. May 2, 2008
Erik (Portland, OR)
This order was a terrific bargain! The product is excellent. The results are good. I'm very pleased. I would recommend to prospective buyers that they ascertain their needs first. I should've gotten a 6qt size. Unless you're apt to prepare fairly small meals the 4 qt is small.
If you cook for one or two and don't make large meals this 4 qt is ideal.

This is my first pressure cooker, and both my boyfriend and I love this. It works fast and cools down quickly, which makes our cooking very efficient. Definately recommended.

Trying an "old" method of cooking and so far recipes have turned out good.

After having to replace my 45 year old Presto pressure cooker, I was happy to find it's equivalent still available although not as heavy as the old one and the handle is very ackward to hold I still like its convenience and not having to learn a new system. Not happy that it is no longer a USA made product, but what's new.

Presto 01341 4-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure CookerI'm very pleased with this product. I had a much older model that I had for many years and can no longer repair because it is out of date--- so I got a new one. I especially like the stainless steel compared to the old one that was aluminum based.
