My grandparents have always used a pressure cook for raw peanuts and, as a kid, seeing that thing tick and steam away on the stove always scared the heck out of me. Needless to say, I stayed far from the kitchen when peanuts were on the stove. Fast forward 25 years- this vegan got tired of waiting 45 minutes for brown rice, 1 hour for wheat berries, and sometimes 2 hours for a pot of beans to cook. Ugh- total time drain. Then, after reading a few recipes toting how a pressure cooker renders beans soft and edible in 10 minutes I figured it might be time to put my fears aside. I love this cooker and it might have been one of the better choices for this amateur. It is easy for me to understand, easy to operate, and it doesn't hiss, tick, or blow huge amounts of steam the entire cooking time. I find the lipped edge a little annoying, but it isn't difficult to get the last few grains or beans out of the cooker. I made a batch of brown and wild rice in less than 30 minutes and a pound of soaked navy beans were cooked to complete perfection in less than 20 minutes- unbelievable! I like that I can allow the rice to depressurize normally and quick release the beans without having to run water over the cooker. Overall, the pieces are sturdy and seem like they will withstand constant use for a long time; the rubber gasket can be replaced; accessories are available right here on Amazon.

Pros: It just works. Replacement parts are relatively easy to find Looks and feels quite durable Cons albeit very nitpicky: The large capacity pot is nice, but you need to be aware of the actual maximum level you can fill the pot as the lid goes into the pot in an unconventional way to store pressure. First time buyer should do a complete pressure test and descale the pot thoroughly as it will likely leave stain after the test. The lip of the pot makes if a bit harder to pour/completely empty the pot and due to its size, it can be very heavy for some.

Product was damaged. I would like to get a refund.

What an inconvenient, backward design for a pressure cooker!!! Never mind that it came in a loosely packaged, damaged box, with scratches on the aluminum surface. To close the cooker, one has to position the lid at a "right" angle and slide it in , after practicing a few times as the user menu instructs. This might seal better. I will take that. But how is it NOT unsanitary and messy? There is no way one can keep the rim of the lid from somehow touching the food inside. Also, expect messy foam to overflow from the vent covering the entire cooker during the cooking process. It's a pain to clean up afterwards. We bought it at a deep discount and didn't want to bother returning it. But this is no doubt the worst thing we've ever ordered online.

This easy to use pressure cooker is for those struggling to cook hard to cook food items like winter squash, beets etc. Big quantities, good product, not heavy.
