Summary: Good pressure cooker
Comment: It is really nice and simple to operate pressure cooker.
Three level of protection, easy to close and good insulation.
Not giving five star, just because after very fist cooking, I found out some kind of spots on inner side at the top. These spots are not removable, but visible.

Summary: Presto - A cooker for cooks
Comment: How can you go wrong with an Aluminum Presto Pressure Cooker? After all, that's the cooker that was used by my Mother over sixty years ago. As I recall, she never replaced it - just used it regularly until she died. I believe my sister wound up with it. Stainless may look better and last longer, but does not conduct heat as well as aluminum. I won't use it as often as my Mom did, so this cooker will surely last the rest of my life. I'm 65. Besides, aluminum is such a bargain. I could see no reason to spend almost twice as much for stainless. And certainly not two to three hundred dollars for so-called luxury brands. All that's required is a safe cooker that holds a head of steam. The Presto has been doing that for almost a hundred years or more.

Summary: Great pressure cooker
Comment: This is my first pressure cooker and it works fine. I used it several times since I bought it 2 weeks ago. So far there is no problem with cooking at all. A few points: (1)I feel that there were a lot of residual lubricants and aluminium dusts from the manufacturing process after I got my cooker, so I washed it really carefully + scrape it with a hard sponge to remove metal dusts, as I don't want those stuff in my food... It might or might not be the right thing to do though. After I started using it, I don't feel that complusive with removing all metal traces any more. (2)It might be the problem of my water quality (I am in St Louis), or it might be a normal phenomenon, that after I put water in the cooker overnight, the soaked surface stained dark... The new one was really shiny and metalic looking. The metal must have been oxidized (or whatever). It happens with cooking food, too. But after using for a while the inner surface become evenly stained and lost that metalic silvery shine, and I wasn't too concerned any more (because it started looking like the old pressure cooker my mom uses at home). (3) I found that even without the overpressure plug, this cooker can be used as a slow cooker on very low heat, and it worked really well. (4) I went to the Presto website and ordered an additional overpressure plug. It is very easy to order replacement parts there, and it is cheap too ($3 for the plug + $2 for shipping). And when I canceled my order (as I thought I lost the first one and found it later), they respond very promptly. I am very satisfied with their service.

Summary: Terrific product
Comment: After 39.5 years, I wanted a new pressure cooker & opted to get another Presto. Am so pleased with this product. Important: If you are new to pressure cookers, read the instructions & read them again; then, just before you begin, read them again! Have always had great success with my pressure cooker & am enjoying my new shiny one. Well worth the investment.

Before microwave cooking was introduced, the pressure cooker was a faster way to cook and prepare delicious foods. Unlike microwave ovens, pressure cooking preserves natural flavors and nutrients. Meats, poultry, fish, seafood, and vegetables cook to perfection in minutes - sometimes even faster than a microwave. If you're seeking a healthier and tastier way of preparing all types of foods, this stovetop pot is a must-have appliance for your kitchen. Does not require electricity - Designed for use on your stove top
