Description

The smart choice for healthy, favorful meals, fast and easy. Cooks 3 to 10 times faster than ordinary cooking methods - even faster than a microwave for many foods. Chicken, fish, meat and vegetables cook to perfection fast. Helps tenderize economical cuts of meat. Works on regular and smooth-top ranges. Cover lock indicator shows when there is pressure inside the cooker and prevents the cover from being removed until pressure is safely reduced. Includes a special rack for cooking several foods at once with no intermingling of flavors. Dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. Liquid capacity: 6 quarts (5.7 liters). Works on gas 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 stainless steel 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 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 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 stainless steel pressure cooker, though occasional use of a fine metal polish will help the exterior keep its shine. The Presto 6-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 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

  • WARPED
Size: 6 qt
Used 6 times, warped on bottom. The reason I purchased Stainless Steel is so it would not warp like aluminum. I have an electric glass cooktop, so pots must be flat to heat evenly. Was to start with, not now. Bought in 2006, it has a 12 year warranty, we'll see how that goes. UPDATE: Presto has decided to give me a "one time courtesy replacement" . They have no reason why this is not a straight Warranty replacement. However, they want me to sped another 1/3rd of the cost of a new one to ship the lid back. Apparently this is to ensure I cannot use the old one again. So they are more worried about their possible loss than my having a product that is not defective. They don't want the actual pot that warped back, so they could examine it themselves. If they did, they could pay the return freight. The customer should not have to be punished because their product is defective, which is what return freight charges are. It is good money after bad, like an internet scam of some obscure lottery win, where you send a fee for "processing". Not buying it. ... show more

  • Sometimes it's best to go back to basics
Size: 6 qt
In the past 18 mo I've had two electric digital pressure cookers. Each were different brands. I loved using them for the ease of not having to stand at the stove to watch them, but BOTH of them burned out the electronics in the same time frame. Only one was from Amazon, the other from another place. I purchased this old fashioned do it yourself pressure cooker like my mother had for 40 yrs, and used regularly. For those who are concerned about screws loosening, remember this: The change in temp will cause the screws to loosen a bit. Metal expands and contracts, all metals. Check them before each use. Stainless steel will indeed stain inside the pot, but it in no way alters the function of the pan. I have a couple of old aluminum pots that are 50+ yrs old. They've been dropped, battered and used for everything and are still being used multiple times a week. I love this 'do it the old fashioned way' pressure cooker. And for those who are concerned about the availability of gaskets, they are sold everywhere, and any six qt pot will accept any brand of gasket. I removed the gasket from my high tech pressure cooker that didn't last, and the gasket fits this manual pot. I am a serious cook, I make almost everything from scratch and I give my tools a workout. But I will NOT be tempted again to buy a digital electric cooker. ... show more

  • User-friendly and safe
Size: 6 qt
This is my third Presto stainless steel six quart pressure cooker in 20 years. I mysteriously "lost" two in moving. I use this several times a week. It's user-friendly and cooks most foods in half the the time or less. When I want quick "barbequed" St. Louis-style ribs, onion, garlic, liquid smoke, barbeque sauce, seasonings and water to cover, and I have delicious ribs in 45 minutes. Same for pot roast with carrots and potatoes. Chicken's a breeze. Beef or pork roast, country-style pork ribs, beef bones, short ribs, tongue, lamb shanks or small leg of lamb, brisket with cabbage, carrots, and potatoes done to a turn in minutes rather than hours. (I prefer regular brisket to corned beef.) Follow safety instructions, easy to clean. A real workhorse in my kitchen. I've tried other pressure cookers. This one is simple, straight forward, and reliable. When it's necessary to add foods (usually veggies) at a certain time, this cooker is easy to "quick cool," add whatever, and restart the pressure cooking. Prefer the stainless steel to aluminum as stainless steel doesn't react with foods. ... show more

  • Presto pressure cooker - Don't buy it if you care for your life
Size: 6 qt
Presto 01362 6-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker has a fundamental design flaw that is a huge safety hazard. Its safety valve is made up of rubber instead of metal typically found in pressure cookers. It worked as expected for initial few days. But after a month of use, the rubber safety valve started leaking and draining liquid all over the cooking stove. After another month or so, the rubber safety valve violently exploded splattering the boiling liquid all over the kitchen. Luckily, no one was in the kitchen otherwise I can only imagine the serious burns that this pressure cooker would have caused. ... show more

  • Love this! Reheats faster than a microwave!
Size: 6 qt
Where have I been? This is great! Super fast meals. Quick, and easy enough to make myself sweet potatoes even though I'll be the only one eating it. Also great for, dinner's ready and I forgot the side. Makes soups super quick and chicken stock is really simple. I don't have to babysit it for hours to get great flavor. Love using this for quick mashed potatoes. The recipe book is pretty good and covers most of what I can think of, Google gives me cooking time for anything else (whole chicken in 25 minutes). Reheats a rotisserie chicken or roast in about a min without drying it out! Disappointed that split pea soup is a no-no, but I'll survive. I am 35 years old with 5 kids. I use this 3+ times per week. Don't know how I've never heard how great these are. I did a pork loin in the crockpot and one in here just to compare. In a blind taste test the pressure cooker won unanimously! Instant pot cooks at about 12lbs pressure. This comes with a 15 lb weight. My only complaint is, there is only one screw holding one of the handles on. You need to press against the handle to open and close the cooker. Eventually it will loosen. Not hard to figure out, put two screws in the handle! It doesn't affect the functionality of the pot, but a little common sense on the part of presto would prevent me from retightening a screw every once in a while. I know the chicken in the picture isn't super pretty, but it is falls right off the bone and is delicious! ... show more
