Description

The smart choice for healthy, flavorful meals, fast and easy. Foods cook 3 to 10 times faster than ordinary cooking methods, saving time, energy, and money. Includes easy-to-follow instructions and delicious recipes. Chicken, fish, meat, vegetables, and even desserts cook to perfection fast. Helps tenderize economical cuts of meat. Strong, heavy-gauge aluminum for quick, even heating. Suitable for use on regular and smooth-top ranges. Pressure regulator maintains the proper cooking pressure automatically. Cover lock indicator shows if there is pressure inside the cooker. Special rack included for cooking several foods at once with no intermingling of flavors. Helper handle for ease of handling. Fully immersible and dishwasher safe with the sealing ring and over-pressure plug removed. Extended 12-year limited warranty. Do not fill pressure cooker over 2/3 full. For soup, grains, and dry beans and peas which expand during cooking, do not fill cooker over 1/2 full. Overfilling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and developing excess pressure 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 6-quart aluminum 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! This durable, polished-aluminum pressure cooker is an economical 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 more than 65 recipes, ranging from basic soup stocks to stews and pot roasts--even desserts like 5-minute 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 polished aluminum pressure cooker, though occasional use of a fine metal polish will help the exterior keep its shine. The Presto 6-quart aluminum 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 9 inches in diameter (17 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

  • I was Devastated and scared!

  • A kitchen staple no one should be without.
Size: 6 qt
I don't know why I waited so long to get one of these. We had one when I was young and living at home, and it wore out--but it makes the best roast beef, the best collard greens and the best stews and soups you can imagine, in about 1/3 the time of cooking on top of the stove! Very good quality, and very simple and easy to use. You can use it for so many things--and it cooks fast. Don't spend hundreds of dollars on one of these with any other features--this is all anyone needs. Affordable and durable. ... show more

  • Love this pressure cooker
Size: 6 qt
I’ve been using a pressure cooker for many many years. My mom and grandmother used them as well for years. Love this pressure cooker. It’s 2 qt larger than my old (1995) pressure cooker. I went back and forth about whether or not to buy an instapot. The bid deciding factor for buying this one was that the plug in varieties take 2-3 times longer cooking than the traditional stove top variety. I’m very happy with this cooker. ... show more

  • Not a good deal
Size: 6 qt
Even having bad reviews I bought it. I’m from Brazil and having one of these helps a lot with so many diferente kinds of dishes. I bought mine on October and I think I was able to use it for 5-6 times. Last time I used I notice that one piece is loose so the pan doesn’t keep the pressure inside anymore, which means I have no reasons to use it. I even tried no fix it but no success. ... show more

  • Great time and energy saver for any working person or single parent
Size: 6 qt
I grew up where my working step mother cooked many of our meals with a Presto Pressure Cooker out of time necessity and always enjoyed them and I don't know why I put off buying one for myself after all these years. Not only does one of these cookers greatly reduce your cooking time, they also save you energy as a well. So far I have prepared beans and ham soup, a clone recipe of KFC fried chicken and savory pot roast in my unit and the food has been delicious. This unit comes with a very basic cook book but Presto offers a large cook book for $19.95. I have found many delicious pressure cooker recipes on line by using Google for "Pressure Cooker Recipes", including the savory pot roast recipe that I just tried and the KFC clone fried chicken recipe that came out moist and tender. Where it normally took me all day to cook a pot roast in my crock pot, this unit did it in just at one hour and the roast was fall apart tender with a rich and tasty broth. This allows you to use less expensive cuts of meat that you can catch on sale like chicken leg quarters, chuck roast, ham and beans or any lentils for that matter. All at greatly reduced cooking times and resultant less energy consumption on your electric or gas range. ... show more

  • A must for beans
Size: 6 qt
This amazing contraption cooks dry pinto beans to perfection, in 20 mins. If that's all you ever do with it, it's totally worth the cash. Will it stain? Yes. So what? Follow the instructions and it's a safe, quick way to cook foods fast. Did I mention homemade chicken/vegetable/fish stock in 20 mins? Pulled pork/chicken/beef? Buy it. ... show more

  • Avoid! Leaks after a couple of uses
Size: 6 qt
I really wanted to like this. It was inexpensive and cooked meat beautifully the first three times I used it. The 4th and 5th time, steam started coming out of the handle. One dinner was dry and the next one burned after too much liquid steamed out the handle. I am sending it back.

  • Bottom warped after first use
Size: 6 qt
The very first time we used this pressure cooker, the bottom warped so badly that the cooker now just wobbles on the stove (glass cooktop), and therefore will no longer cook anything evenly. It's basically useless at this point.
