Cuisinart Electric Pressure Cooker Review

I bought the Cuisinart 6 quart electric pressure cooker after reading many reviews and researching different options (stove top vs electric).I was a little wary about getting a pressure cooker because I had never used one, and the there are stories of pressure cookers exploding from the first generation of pressure cookers in the 1940's.Everything that I have read says that all of todays cookers are much safer, but because I tend to be very cautious I went with the electric model because of the added safety features.The lid locks into place and will not open until the pressure has been properly released.I was given the book: The Pressure Cooker Cookbook by Toula Patsalis as a gift.I used this book as one of my main guides in choosing a cooker.There is a whole chapter devoted to picking out a pressure cooker, and the recipes are top notch.I would highly recommend this book to anyone buying a pressure cooker.

This model had great reviews and was a good price on Amazon, so I decided to give it a try, and boy am I glad that I did!This very easy to work, a snap to clean up, and the food!All of the foods that I have made in this have turned out excellent.I love the browning and saute functions, it allows me to have just one pot to clean at the end.The non-stick coating cleans up easily.I also like the timer function, I can set my desired pressure level, set the time and I am ready.Once it reaches my desired level of pressure it starts to count down, when it is finished, it beeps to alert me and then automatically sets itself to keep warm.It couldn't be easier. Food really does take 50 - 70% less time to make in a pressure cooker.I have been making amazing homemade soups in about 30 minutes.My family loves this cooker as much as I do!The only drawback to this cooker is that it only has two levels of pressure to choose from: low or high.Many recipes that I have tried call to maintain medium pressure.I have made many recipes, and have just been using the high pressure level and everything has turned out wonderfully, it would just be nice to have the option of cooking at a medium pressure level.

Overall I think this is a great product. It is easy to use, easy to clean up and the ability to make amazing homemade soups and other meals in a fraction of the time it used to take is icing on the cake.

Did me no good buying this pressure cooker way expensive for the time it worked! 3 months and $80 down the drain! I would not have complained about the price had it lasted long for me. But still its high priced as compared to the prices of other cookers which are offering much more durability and ease in half the price, just like the Presto pressure cooker I have now.

Besides that it was heavy, bulky, hard to clean as it took a lot of space when I placed it in the dishwasher to wash, again very unlike my current cooker which is easy to wash in the dish washer and costs half the price.

In just three months pressure whistle stopped working leaving me clueless as to how it could be fixed or mended as the design is so complicated.

Very high and narrow, not comfortable to cook in at all. Very heavy to handle as well.

Overall I was not happy with it at all! In fact, I lost trust in the saying "The more expensive the better the quality" regarding my experience with this one!

I would not recommend this cooker to anyone, instead go buy something which is lighter, way simpler and durable and not to mention costs way less than this one.

The Magefesa was highly recommended by a friend, who has owned one for over 20 years. Mine would not come up to pressure. As soon as it reached the boiling point, steam came out of the "safety" valve with so much force it threatened to put out my gas flame. I returned the unit for a replacement, and the second one did the same thing.

I contacted Magefesa customer support. They were very helpful, guiding me through disassembly and reassembly of all the possible problem points. Everything seemed fine to them, and the representative was at a loss to explain what was wrong. He said I appeared to be doing everything correctly. (It's so simple to use, it's hard to imagine what one could do wrong.) He said I could send it to him and he would try it himself, but that would have cost over $13 out of my pocket, so I have returned the unit for a refund.

I can only imagine that there was a bad production run on this model and that some defect is causing the problem. This is a reputable company with lots of good reviews, but I got two that didn't work, so I have decided to try a different brand.

For a long time, I had a traditional alluminum pressure cooker that was given by my mother. It has the weight thing on top and when the pressure builds up, that thing is just bouncing up and down making all kinds of noise every few seconds. And alluminum is not good for cooking anyway. I looked at several choices including Kuhn Rikon and others that have stainless steel models. Then I chose this one over the Kuhn Rikon (the other final candidate) for the look, quality and easy to clean. It's much cleaner looking than others. The control is concealed and the lid is smooth all around. I was still surprised at how well it is made when I received it. The mirror finish does make it standout in our kitchen in a good way. It's easy to clean especially with that quick release handle. The helper handle is definitely a plus for less strong arms. We have cooked many meals with it and absolutely love it. Also, its rubber seal ring is much heavy duty then some other ones I looked, one less thing to worry I guess. It will take your cooking experience to another easy and joyable level.

Hello,

I have used the old Presto rattle top pressure cooker and the American (Wisconsin Aluminum) pressure cooker for years. Both are aluminum and use the rattle top device on top of the pressure cooker to control pressure. I have researched pressure cookers for a while now and decided on the Magefesa Mageplus pressure cooker, I have the 8 and 4 liter pots. According to Cook's Illustrated the Rikon Kuhn and Fagor are the best. The German WMF Is right up there and the Presto stainless does well too. But after checking on the Magefesa I learned that Cooks Illustrated test used the Magefesa XL or Practika pressure cooker for testing. It did well but not as good as this one would have. This one is their top of the line pressure cooker. The XL or Practika is in the middle and uses a different type of pressure control. This Mageplus pressure cooker uses a similar pressure control to the Kuhn Rikon and WMF cookers. After using these I can not imagine a pressure cooker being any easier and safer to use. The large pressure indicator (a button with lines) moves up and down with pressure. It is very easy to see and adjust burner temperature as needed to control pressure. If you walk away or forget, there are other safety devices to keep everything safe, 5 total.

From what I have seen, it is easy to clean, well made and should last a very long time, time will tell.

For those of you who are a little scared of pressure cookers. If you will pull up a chair and watch the first 2 or 3 times you use any pressure cooker you will see how they work with YOUR stove. You need to learn how the pressure cooker acts on your stove. Once that is done you will feel confident and try new things with your pressure cooker.

Good luck.

Average 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.

After doing some research, this brand name came up as a recommendation and after seeing this discounted price I had to go for it.

What I like about it:
Aluminum core base for even heat distribution.
Made in Spain, not China
Brushed stainless steel interior, no toxic non-stick coatings
Everything feels very sturdy and well-made
2 pressure settings, multiple safety release valves.

In fact I liked it so much after using it the first time, I'm buying a 2nd one for multiple course cooking.

Kuhn Rikon 6-Piece Duromatic Duo Pressure Cooker Set Review

Kuhn Rikon 6-Piece Duromatic Duo Pressure Cooker Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We tried so many pressure cookers over the years as Indian Cooking demands heavy use of pressure cooking for making lentil soups and curries. We even tried few models from India but none could last more than a few years. Either they have problems with safety valves, handles, or they would become loose too often that requires tightenening of handles. If they last well, they were too bulky and takes almost forever to open and close the lid. Most annoying of all, they all make crazy sound that scares both my kids.
Kuhn Rikon pressure cookers sure have expensive prices but once you see them and feel them, you will find every reason to agree that they are well worth the price. This particular 2 set model is so lovely that my wife decided to get rid of most of her cookware as they both compliment each other so well. They can be used for almost everything we cook for our daily needs. The lids are interchangeable. This makes it so convenient to pressure cook veggies and lentils and then continue to use it with glass lid to make the final curry without having to transfer the cooked veggies and lentils to another cookware to make the curry. You can cook meat much faster and tastier without having to marinate for long.
The small one is so convenient if you have small babies and would like to feed them fresh boiled veggies, rice, or lentils. It saves lot of cooking time and the cook book that comes with it is wonderful. It gives you so many nice and simple receipes for everyone.
Couple of our guests got so impressed with this that they bought it right away from Amazon.com without waiting to get an incredible deal for it in their Amazon.com GoldBox like I did.

I've bought several Fagor pressure cookers through the years and they always work fine. In fact they work great! This pressure cooker is no different. The only thing that's kind of tricky is getting the lid lined up so the pressure cooker is sealed. The Splendid and Duo models are a bit easier to line up but it's not a problem.

I do love the short handles used to make this pressure cooker set which is why I bought them. You can store the pots using less space.

As always I highly recommend the Fagor pressure cookers. They work well and are our far cheaper than their pricier counterparts.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Fagor Futuro 5-Piece Pressure-Cooker Set

Product Description:
Pressure cookers are gaining momentum as the new healthy, time-saving, and energy-saving way to prepare food. Pressure cooking also retains up to 50-percent more vitamins and minerals, and it requires less fat and oil when compared to other cooking methods, which means healthier, lower fat meals. While not a new method, the technology has certainly been transformed over the years to be easier and safer than ever. This six-piece set makes it possible to save up to 70 percent of the time and energy traditionally used in cooking rice, meat, and vegetables. The set includes a 4-quart pot, a 6-quart pot, a pressure-cooker lid that fits both pots, a tempered glass lid that fits both pots, and a stainless-steel steamer basket that rests on the inner ridge of the 6-quart pot, making it easy to prepare two dishes at the same time; the steamer basket can also be used as a food grater or a support trivet. Use the pots as pressure cookers with the pressure-cooker lid or as regular stockpots with the glass lid. An instruction manual and a "Tastefully Under Pressure" full-color cookbook with over 90 delicious recipes are also included.
For safety, the pressure cooker features a triple valve safety system, a visual pressure indicator, and an auto-locking handle that prevents the lid from opening before all the pressure has been released. The user-friendly dial format of its spring-type mechanism offers two pressure settings--low (8 psi) and high (15 psi), and its easy-cleaning auto pressure-release valve reduces food-particle build-up. Constructed from 18/10 stainless steel, the cookware not only makes a beautiful addition to any kitchen collection, but it also ensure long-lasting, high-quality performance. Even more, its plastic, side loop handles and lid knob stay cool to the touch, and the 6-quart pot fits inside the 4-quart pot for compact storage. The cookware can be used on all types of domestic stovetops, including gas, electric, ceramic, and induction, and all parts except for the pressure lid are dishwasher-safe. Fagor covers the set with a 10-year limited warranty.
Founded in Spain, Fagor manufactures home appliances and cookware with a "green" focus on environmentally sound working conditions for employees and energy efficiency for consumers. In Europe, Fagor holds environmental stewardship awards, and in the U.S. is a participant in the Energy Star program, a government-backed program to help protect the environment.

Kuhn Rikon Green Energy Cookware Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had a New Year's epiphany that I wanted to cook more at home with organic ingredients from Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and the local farmer's market in Manhattan versus eating mystery meat at local restaurants. I did my research, and decided to buy the best of the best...the supposedly silent Khun Rikon that people claim will last 50 years. Let me just say it was worth every penny! I've been cooking with it every day since I received it last week. I found that there are a lot of great free recipes online for pressure cookers that are rated by real people at [...] I bookmarked my favorites, and then began chopping away. I also purchased two of the top-rated cookbooks, but have yet to use them, as it comes with two for free that already have a ton of recipes to start with!

First of all, many people who bought the bundled $265. set of two cookers by Khun Rikon said in the feedback area to buy the flame protector, so I took it seriously. I'm now returning it, as the bottom does not burn when cooking on a gas stove. The bottom of the Khun Rikon has thick aluminum to ensure the heat disperses, so the flame protector was totally un-necessary. It also takes like 5 min. to heat up, if not longer.

Next, the cooker is quiet, but not silent. Before the pressure rises, causing the red lines on the gauge to rise, the pot will hiss. I thought it would explode, but quickly learned it hisses a bit before the pressure rises. I typically would saute various ingredients, then throw in all other ingredients required, turning the heat up high to make the pressure rise fast. I cover it, and wait nearby for about 5 min. until the pressure gauge rises. If I don't check it soon enough and it has reached the second red line on the gauge, it will hiss loudly, as it releases excess pressure. I generally run to it in the kitchen, and release pressure by pushing the gauge down manually. After trial and error, I now know that it maintains the 15 psi pressure with a very, very low flame (almost off). I see how it's energy saving!

I've been improvising and changing recipes online ad-hoc, and they have all turned out amazing! The sauces that result from pressure cooking are so complex and flavorful. I'm totally in awe. The beef chuck when cubed and cooked for less than 30 min. fell apart and was so soft it tasted like it had cooked for hours.

My next move is to find a small 2-3 qt. pan to pressure cook a side dish in simultaneously, or even rice. Rice only took me like 8 min. or less.

Lastly, despite all of the things I throw into the pot, including tomato puree, etc., the lid always remains totally clean inside. I guess the pressure keeps any splattering of sauce on the top. I still wash it, and the gasket is removable, but it amazes me that it remains clean unlike when I make sauces in normal pot.

BEWARE: The only thing that may annoy other people is that ingredients cook and soften very fast. If you like your veggies firm, avoid pressure cookers unless you can be focused enough to add or remove ingredients every 10 minutes. I prefer to make one-pot meals where everything is added at the beginning, which means that the veggies always end up soft when cooking with meat that requires a longer cooking time...
