The 01370 Includes stainless steel steamer basket and Complete 64-page instruction/recipe book. Perfect solution to healthy, satisfying meals Stainless Steel Steamer Basket Included Complete 64-page instruction/recipe book Amazon.com Review: Pressure cookers have experienced renewed popularity over the last several years because cooks have rediscovered what some cooks (particularly grandmas) have known for a long time--they're really fast. And it's easy to cook healthfully with pressure cookers, since the food retains so much more of its nutrients and flavor. Presto's 8-quart pressure cooker is a multi-purpose pot that can stand in as a conventional soup pot as well as perform the kitchen magic that pressure cookers are famous for. Chicken Cacciatore cooks in 8 minutes! And it's big enough for home canning, too. (The USDA recommends pressure canning as the only safe method for low-acid foods such as vegetables, meats, and poultry.) This professional-quality stainless steel pressure cooker is a handy addition to any well-rounded set of kitchen tools. The heavy-duty lid locks down during cooking; an inner sealing ring keeps the steam in. In addition to a pop-up pressure indicator and a simple steam release mechanism, there is an overpressure plug that will let off steam if it builds up excessively. This pressure cooker is useful for weeknight dinners or for any meal that needs to come together quickly. An accompanying booklet contains 75 recipes, ranging from basic soup stocks to stews and pot roasts--even desserts like Petite Pumpkin Custards! Tenderize lean cuts of beef or pork; or cook chicken, fish, or vegetables faster than you can in a microwave, and without losing moisture. Nonabrasive cleansers are best for cleaning this stainless steel pressure cooker, though occasional use of a fine metal polish will help the exterior keep its shine. The Presto 8-quart pressure cooker is fully immersible; in addition, the sealing ring should be removed after each use to allow cleaning of the inside rim of the lid. The vent pipe is simple to keep clean with a small brush or pipe cleaner, and both the air vent/cover lock and the overpressure plug are removable. The pressure cooker measures 10-1/2 inches in diameter (15-1/2 inches including handles) and 8-1/2 inches tall (including lid). Presto guarantees this pressure cooker with an extended 12-year warranty. A detailed instruction and recipe booklet is included; special safety issues that pertain to pressure cookers are clearly explained. --Garland Withers Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Presto 8-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker/Canner Very well constructed. Excellent capacity. New pressure technology is superior to old style on my 20-year old unit. Easier to use and comes complete with needed accessories. Nothing extra to buy. I recommend it. Rating: - Great productI knew that I wanted a Presto stainless steel pressure cooker because it has been so well rated. However, I struggled determining what size to get. Amazon sells the 4, 6, and 8 quart cooker. I am a single guy and thought that maybe the 8 quart was going to be too big but then did not want to get the 4 or 6 and be limited to what I could cook. So I decided to get the 8 quart, and it turned out to be the perfect size. As you might be aware, for most foods, one should not fill the pot ... Read More Rating: - Works great, lasts longI've used the Presto 8 quart stainless steel pressure cooker several times, and each time I've gotten great results. Stainless steel is easy to clean, and this cookware is well constructed. I would definitely recommend this product. Rating: - ReviewI like this pressure cooker. I have used it several times and it really cooks as quick as they said it would. It is easy to use and was easy to figure out how to use it but I would suggest reading the manual first for safety reasons..It is made better than I thought it would be and I would buy another one if I ever have to..Cheers..Keithmj Rating: - Great pressure cookerThis pressure cooker really does the job great. It cuts the time you prepare a meal in half, or less. I have the best results with ribs. Tender every time. Roast, on the other hand, I need to cut back my time. My fault on that. Follow directions and you will have great results. |
