Summary: I wish I had found this pressure cooker when I bought my first one
Comment: This is my second pressure cooker. My first was a Fagor of the same size that I bought about 10 years ago and finally started to not work well.

This one is so much easier to use. It's easy to see when the proper amount of pressure is built up and I like the fact that it isn't as heavy as my first one. This allows it to cool down naturally within a reasonable amount of time. It's also easier to open and close. I can see why people love this brand. I just ordered and received my second Kuhn Rikon cooker, a 4 quart version so that I can cook two things at the same time that require different cooking times.

I made perfect brown rice in 20 minutes and it didn't stick to the bottom like it does in my rice cooker. Since it takes about 45 minutes in the rice cooker, I doubt that I'll ever use that appliance again. It really turned out better in the pressure cooker.

Update 9/29/08 - I've been using this and the 4 quart Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker at least a couple times a week since I purchased them. With high energy costs these really save a bundle. I find once the pressure is built up, I can turn the heat on my electric stove down just about to simmer to finish the cooking as opposed to having it on medium or high for a much longer period of time. They still look great after all this use and are very easy to clean. I often make my dogs food in them using chicken, vegetables and rice. It cooks so quickly!

Summary: A fine mid-sized pressure cooker
Comment: I am extremely pleased with this item. I learned how to pressure cook with this pot, and now I can have osso buco ready in well under an hour; and I actually prefer it done in the pressure cooker!

Get a Lorna Sass cookbook and go to town with this baby. My only caveat: I usually cook for just two or three, and the size of this pot is fine for that. Most recipes are written for a six quart pressure cooker anyway. Still, there are a few times I wish the cooker was a little bigger so I could cook a larger volume--making stock, for instance, or making a big batch of chili.

If you're cooking for more than a few, you might consider the 8 qt model. That's not a criticism of this pot at all--I wouldn't part with it. It's a tool in my kitchen which I use often, sometimes several times a week. Highly recommended.

Editorial Reviews:

Automated lid-locking system and multiple safety release back-up systems give you peace of mind. Its spring-loaded valve eliminates guesswork. You'll know when to start and stop cooking. No overcooking! This not only saves an incredible amount of time, it produces exquisitely delicious food. Flavors are so intense, so less seasoning is needed. Shaped like a classic stockpot, this pressure cooker has side grips and comes with a steaming trivet. The generous size allows the cook to make enough for a s mall army. Cook a whole chicken, a 4-pound roast, even cheesecake! The pot's versatility will inspire you.
