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

It came in time. Hold the pressure wel;. It looked beautiful. The only draw back is not easy to clean and lost it's shinyness.
 So clean and convenient January 5, 2009

We bought this pressure cooker to replace a larger aluminum one we had before. It has proven to be of great use to my family. Not only is the size better since we don't have to make gallons of soup anymore, but it's so much easier to clean than the aluminum one, which took forever to clean after each use. Now it's just a little scrub and scrub the lid and the rubber seal and it's clean! The handles make it more comfortable and ergonomic than the last pressure cooker we had and make it easier to carry it back and forth when full. It's a great pressure cooker.
Nice and inexpensive December 28, 2008

This is my second presto pressure cooker in a year. I loved my first one and used it several times a week, but I didn't add enough water once, scorched the heck out of it, and it was never the same. I tried all the thrifty tricks to get out scorched ick but it didn't work. However, I liked and used this one so much I bought another one exactly like my first.
I have a Russel Hobbes electric pressure cooker that is larger and really nice for food that cooks longer because I can set it and walk away. However, it's big and bulky. My Presto is my go too pressure cooker for potatoes, makes great cheesecake, I love pressure cooking squash, carrots etc. The construction is heavy and seems well made.
Herbed Chicken Was Absolutely Delicious December 24, 2008

This pressure cooker is our first one and our first time to cook with one. We used one of the recipes printed in the user's manual, Herbed Chicken. The recipe calls for basil, celery, oregano, parsley, onions, and garlic, along with other readily available ingredients. Total time for the meal to be ready from food preparation, to the pressure cooker building up to pressure, with the actual cooking time was about 15 minutes.
The Herbed Chicken was absolutely delicious. We can't wait to try another recipe. We also ordered 2 pressure cooker cookbooks. It really is satifying to own a fine and affordable cooking appliance such as this one in which we can cook delicious, nutritious meals that are prepared within 15 minutes. It was not difficult to use, and clean up was effortless and fast. We did read the user's manual carefully since this was our first time with one.
The price was very reasonable, and this pressure cooker has a 12 year warranty (according to the user's manual). Thanks Amazon for the fast delivery service, and thanks Presto for the fine pressure cooker. We look forward to using it on a weekly basis.
Love it! December 23, 2008

I'm delighted with my purchase. It's made very well, nothing flimsy about this pot. Needless to say I am very happy with it. I was a little fearful of pressure cookers, but no more! I'm sure I will use it for many years to come.
