  • Works good. Steam blast is normal per documentation. Has a SAFETY issue to note.
Size: 10 Litre
10 Liter is the best option for broth and large quantity soups making. Remember that you should load it with stuff and water up to 2/3rd of the total internal volume--this should give you an idea of how big of a pot you should really buy. 10L is perfect for real world scenario where you make stock or soup and eat it for couple weeks, or share it with a big family for a quick go. Pros: Stainless Steel, safe lid that wouldn't explode even if the safety valve somehow unrealistically got clogged. Easy design without spring based release valve to break down. Cons: Stainless Steel is heavy but, it's worth it, in my opinion. Once fully loaded with water to 2/3rd of total internal volume, it IS very heavy, and, as a result, it is not easy to move it around and almost impossible to tip over. This gets me to the slight con of this lid design--you have to use ladle always, never able to dump some of the leftovers over the edge into another container, because the edge tilts inward... no biggie, but a nuisance. Have to buy extra safety valves, for just in case, on Amazon because none came with container, even though it only costs about $1 each. The cook book is straight from the 60s (of the previous century) and some information is in direct opposition of what the newer instruction paper says not to do--don't dip hot unit into cold water because lamination on the pan's bottom might separate, whereas, they used to make solid bottom before and that was supposedly ok, back in the 60s, from a book that actually smelled like it came from a library and pictures that had 60s people and kitchen equipment in them. Oh, and the infamous "steam blast" that some people complain about--yes, it happens, but after about an hour or so on high heat (that time might vary by how fast your oven heats it). Once the heat inside the pot reaches maximum value, the valve gets lifted up by pressure and steam comes out FOUR FEET to sides, and I am not kidding and being literal here. Not a burning steam, so it is safe, but it is VERY loud, and is a sign you must turn down heat to medium setting (as is instructed by included directions.) All of this is supposedly be normal, but very disturbing when it happens. Always turn down to medium (or less) after max heat inside is achieved--tis the way, then it can happen again after another hour or so but in a smaller instance, all the meanwhile it be barely making any noise with a little evaporating water sizzling off of the top of the lid. Note: Something of a note to those who don't notice this--is that the seal has 2 white dots on one side and the seal is not completely round in the cross-cut diameter. Those who will have had trouble with lid seal leaking might will have had installed it incorrectly, that is inverted. The two white dots should go and appear on top of the unit. The words (inside) on the seal is meant to be towards the lid itself. If you do it the opposite way, then it is wrongly installed, and in that case, the THIN part of the seal ends up on the outer edge and might not seal properly! VERY important. And finally, to the SAFETY ISSUE that people can get around if they are adults and are careful but should be mindful of. The internal edge on the lid is VERY sharp and is not finished with anything. They left it the way they cut it (with cutting roller or disk from the outside) and didn't sand it or file it with a double roller or something similar once it was cut. You could easily cut your finger(s) as you slide some material when trying to clean inside of the grove. It is as sharp as a knife and I am not exaggerating here. Once the rubber seal is installed, it is inaccessible and safe but when it is removed.. oh boy. BE AWARE. At this price range they could have filed it proper. With all the caveats, and safety issue, mentioned, I would still recommend the 10L option, but I do not have extensive knowledge of other brands' options and quality and ease of use, so take it with a grain of salt. I tried two times buying used "as new" 10L option from Amazon and both times got lemons and had to return them. One had safety valve blown and handle broken, second one had handle broken as well. Seems like handle is a weak point in the design. They used to have solid handle as seen from their 60s cookbook but switched to holed one later one and when boxes gets thrown around during shipping they brake, only supported by cardboard bracket around it, and considering the humongous weight of the unit, is of an insufficient design. I ended up buying a new unit from Amazon and am pretty HAPPY OVERALL, save for that unprotected steam blast (they could have made a bell on it or something to block the steam from shooting all over the place) and the safety issue of cutting proportions outlined above. ... show more

Size: 6 L
I got this pressure cooker because pressure cooking improves food quality in seeds and grains by making the toxic proteins in these foods called lectins much easier to digest and therefor much less toxic to the digestive system. I looked at a lot of different types of pressure cookers including the electric ones. I choose this one over an electric pressure cooker because it can be used even if the power goes out. That can be an issue where I live. I like that this cooker is made by a company that has been making pressure cookers for many years, and does not ship the work away to China, but continues to make the pressure cookers it sells in it's own facilities in India as it has always done. The design of this cooker is quite unique, and it is intended by the manufacturers to last for a long time. Also, the manufacturer supplies spare parts if they are needed. This is definitely a good sign! The cooker comes with lots of instructions. It is important to follow them, pressure cookers are dangerous. I like the safety features that this one provides. I feel as though the cooker could not actually explode as some kinds can do if they run dry (they could at least, when I was a kid). There is a safety on this one that will have to be replaced if you ever get the cooker over pressure. So, it would be a big hassle if you ever did force it into action, but at least it will be safe. so, I think it is better just to read the instructions and treat this item with the respect that a pressure cooker deserves. When i was a kid we always used one, it was a big heavy aluminum item that I am sure most people my age will recall. I never though about using a pressure cooker after learning about the dangers of aluminum in your body. I didn't know anyone was making stainless steel cookers. That is one of the reasons I bought this particular model -- it is all stainless steel - so you will know that your food is not contaminated by aluminum. The only draw back of this particular model is the fact that you can not plunge it into cold water when cooking is over to bring down the pressure. This is because the base is made from 3 layers of different metal ( a thick heavy base of aluminum is sandwiched between the innermost and outermost layer of stainless steel) . Plunging the pot into cold water to hasten the pressure drop would put too much stress on the dis-similar metals and would result in damage to the base. Also, I am afraid that it would be unwise to apply too, too much heat to the cooker when bringing it up to pressure, lest this also should lead to stress on the cooker's base. So, I heat the cooker at slightly below full flame on my gas stove. It heats up very quickly anyways. so that isn't a problem. When cooking is done I let the pot sit for a few minutes, off of the cooking ring, and if I am in a hurry I let some steam out by lifting the weight with a fork. Mostly, it is not an issue. When cooking is done, usually not everything is finished in the kitchen. so, I really don't mind that you can't hurry the cooling off as much as you might if you could use cold water. It takes a little while to become familiar with the way the cooker responds to your own particular stove, so you have to pay good attention to it when first using it. And, since it is a pressure cooker, and therefor inherently dangerous, you can never leave it alone anyways (you really should not) lest it run dry - that is when things get very dangerous - but maybe not in this case with the meltable safety valve. I'm not clear on this point. But, like I said before, if you put this pressure cooker under the type of conditions that will cause the safety valve to melt, you will have to replace that part, and it will be a hassle, so that is one reason, at least to keep a good eye on your pressure cooker when it is being used. I would recommend this pressure cooker to anyone. I really like it, and have enjoyed using it immensely. Unfortunately this pot does not come with inner containers as the next size up does (8 liters?) I have the 6 liter model. However, I happen to have a small stainless pot that fits inside just right, so when I cook up a smaller amount of rice or oatmeal I put the grain in the small pot with the required water to cook it properly, place this small pot on the steaming rack that comes with the pressure cooker and then add the necessary water to provide the pressure cooker's steam to the bottom of the pot. This works perfectly and makes fabulous grains and beans and porridge. If you were cooking for more than one or two people I think I would recommend getting a larger size pot than the 6 liter size. Over all I am extremely pleased with this pressure cooker. ... show more
