(More customer reviews)I got a Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker for my birthday about 15-20 years ago. I know they're guaranteed for ten years, but mine is still going strong. I had to replace a gasket once and I also had to replace a spring in the pressure indicator device on the top of the pot.But that has been well worth it.
My favorite thing about it is how little energy it uses.Even after soaking it can take more than an hour to cook beans in a regular pot.The house gets hot, the stove uses lots of electricity, and the beans end up with a kind of grainy sauce.Plus I have to "nurse" them by adding water and making sure they don't burn.
But with this device I only use the stove for about 17 minutes.Five to get up to the right pressure and 12 to cook the beans.So it saves lots of time.And the beans are beautiful when they are finished cooling down.They're as pretty as canned but softer (I cook mine at the high pressure for the maximum recommended in the instructions).If I WANT the grainy sauce all I have to do is mash up a few beans and add them back to the pot.
I'd heard stories of people using pressure cookers and getting beans all over the ceiling and everywhere else in the kitchen-- every nook and every cranny.But this cooker has several safety features that prevent that from happening.I suppose if you took a nap while cooking it might still be possible, but I haven't ever had that trouble.
I did burn rice once, but it seems to have been because I overfilled it. There's a line inside the pot telling you where the maximum fill is, and I went over that and the rice was burned.
So I want a bigger one now so that I can cook more brown rice at once and I want to be able to cook more than one dish at a time using a pressure cooker.I haven't decided whether to splurge on a big set or just buy one more pot.It's expensive, but I am convinced that it saves money in the long run by decreasing cooking time and air conditioner output for the kitchen.
Thanks Callie for giving me this pressure cooker.I still love it and use it often.
I love you too!!!
Hugs, Wanda.
