Summary: Know your size
Comment: Although I love this pressure cooker, I wish I had purchased a larger size. That is entirely my fault. Clearly I'm not going to make a huge soup in a 3.7 quart pot. Potential buyers should think about what it is that they expect to cook and how much, and then select an appropriate size. 3.7 quarts sounded big enough to me, but remember that the pressure cooker can only be filled half way for pressure cooking soups, grains, beans, and foods that expand, or 2/3 full for other foods.
The pressure cooker comes with a recipe book, however all the recipes are for size 4 quart or larger pressure cookers (except the frying pan recipes).

The instruction manual says it is NOT suitable for apple compote, cranberries, porridge (oat flakes), barley, peas, pasta, macaroni, rhubarb, or some cereals because those foods tend to foam and froth and could block the valve.

Otherwise, this pressure cooker is great! I have no problems with it. It works wonderfully. I will happily use it to make my dried beans, brown rice, and veggies.
Someday I may even buy a bigger one :)

Summary: Overpriced dangerous bad customer service
Comment: Bought this and it jammed the 3rd time I used it. Had to whack it open with a wrench.

Tried to return it and ended up on the phone with the US distributor who was insulting and basically said I did not know how to use it.

I am a VERY experienced cook.

Threw it in the trash and bought I Presto that I am MUCH happier with.

Summary: Very silent performer
Comment: This is my second buy of the same product, because I loved the first one so much. It works superbly and it is really easy to clean up (I hand wash the lid, but place the pot in the dishwasher), the size is perfect for our family of four. I was very impressed by how silent these things are, you must use a timer if you tend to forget things, like I do! The seller included a very handy cook book by the company, which is the best reference over other cook books that were recommended.

Summary: Fantastic pressure cooker
Comment: We bought one of these in 2001 to take on a long VW-Camper based trip. Its small size made it perfect for that. We still wonder why more people don't use pressure cookers when camping. The trip's long over, but seven years later the cooker, which we use at least weekly, is going strong with the same seal! Great size for a couple of servings of brown rice or other small dish.
