Description
WMF has been making high-quality kitchenware in Geislingen Germany since 1853, and the Perfect Plus 4-1/2-quart pressure cooker has years of design and development behind it. Pressure cooking allows cooking times to be reduced by up to 70% while retaining more vitamins and minerals than other cooking methods. The Perfect Plus cooker is made from WMF's exclusive heavyweight Cromargan steel, with a stay-cool plastic handle that detaches for easy cleaning. A heavy-duty rubber sealing ring allows rapid, safe pressure buildup, while advanced safety features allow any home chef to cook with confidence.

I've always had a pressure cooker in my home ever since I was a child. It is a standard issue pot for island people. It was so important to me that when asked by co-workers what I wanted when I got my first full-time job after university, I requested a... pressure cooker. I was quite happy with it for eight years until I lost the weight during my moving process two years ago. It took forever to get it replaced (laziness on my part - I would block the hole with foil!) and it was a big spill on Oscar night this year that led me to finding a replacement. All stores in my area had only one brand, including T-Fal (which I thought was expensive) and some no-name brands. I researched and finally decided to bite the bullet and buy a WMF as people went crazy about the quality (I did not remember much else about the reviews). I've had it for a few weeks and have circled it with great curiosity and distrust as it did not have the weight, the staple of any decent pressure cooker I've known! I finally tried it yesterday. I abhor (for want of a stronger word) reading manuals and thought I'd "wing" it; after all, a pressure cooker is indeed a pressure cooker! I started second-guessing my decision as I could not fathom how it could work without the weight and that "steaming" sound that I'd grown to love when my mother was cooking since I was a child. I eventually had to read the manual (more thoroughly so when it started making that otherworldly sound) and realized that I needed to turn the heat down. I was using the 16,000 btu burner on my stove. I turned the burner right down but the sound persisted. I began downgrading to the next level and then the next, the last being a 5,000 btu burner. I left it at low(!) and the humming finally did not return. I was by this time thinking that something was wrong with the pot! There was no noise, no steam (the manual did say that, but surely, no decent pressure cooker can work without steam!), no nothing. I was very tired, so I pulled it off the burner after 20 minutes (I kept my old pressure cooker going for 1/2 hour on the strongest burner when it still had the weight) deciding to cut my losses. Well, who woulda thought, I'd overcooked my food! The thing works like a charm and on very low heat too!! I was not happy about that and had to kick myself for the amount of liquid remaining in the pot! I'd maintained the portions that I'd used when my old pot was functioning well, and it proved to be way too much! Let me tell you, I placed a long-distance call to my mother to tell her of this wonder! She is already lining one up. Amazing technology, I say!!

This was my first encounter with any pressure cooker, so I thought my review could be helpful. When discussing it with others, the same old concerns are still being verbalized (hissing, explosions etc.). Never fear; using this product has been a fun experience combined with good cooking outcomes. It's easy to clean; easy to take apart and put back together. Never leave it unattended and try recipes with a thin base (broth, water) for starters to avoid scorching the bottom of the cooker. I have an electric stove, so I needed to learn to use the heat levels correctly with the pressure cooker. Once the second orange ring starts to appear, it's time to reduce the heat in increments from medium to the lowest level. I've cooked short ribs on the lowest heat setting for 25 minutes with great results (falling-off-the-bone good). My old electric slow cooker went south last winter so I wanted to try something new. A pressure cooker allows for more recipe variety. For example; teriaki chicken legs in 6.5 minutes---additional under-the- broiler time for a little crisping and you're done! Rice pudding (in a pan on the trivet which is included along with a vegie steamer) has become a favorite. Fresh corn on the cob placed on the trivet (3 ears in this size cooker---I was afraid to over-fill) for 3 minutes and then quick release was the best tasting ever. It did not burn the roof of my mouth because there was no boiling water in it. Additionally very little nutrients were lost in the steaming water. Another positive is that I suspect I might be saving on electricity because of shortened cooking times. Haven't had a new bill, as of yet, to be sure. The WMF Perfect Plus 6 1/2 qt is a good size cooker to start with, unless you plan to prepare a big roast or a whole turkey (or more ears of corn at one time---see above). In that case, size up. Using this cooker has re-vitalized my enthusiasm for cooking. There are about 30 recipes I've highlighted which I expect to try over the coming winter months. I'm looking forward to it!!

For people making dried beans- it will make 4.5 cups of dried beans max. Meaning measure 4.5 cups of beans, soak them, rinse them, and that is the max amount that fits in the 6.5 quart WMF pressure cooker. Pressure cooking beans breaks down the lectins in it so we digest it easier and it is healthier for us. This pot cleans really easily. I have finally used a steel wool inside and it is like any other stainless pot. Looks great. Just don't over load it with more beans than 4.5 cups dry so it foams up and gets into the handle. The handle can be rinsed (not soaked I believe) but takes a couple of days to dry out inside it so its easier not to get it full of foam from the beans (shake it hard and a lot to get most of the water out if you get some in). If you rinse it like the picture shows it cleans it fine. Don't turn it over to rinse the other side or it will fill with water. Love the little handle across from the big handle. Big plus for draining the beans. This is my first pressure cooker and I am extremely happy with it.

I've only used my pressure cooker a couple times so far. There are 2 reasons why I give this cooker 4 stars instead of 5. 1. The basket that the cooker comes with is aluminum and not also stainless steel. I was wanting to get away from aluminum and that's why I bought this cooker as apposed to others. So, disappointed in that. 2. The instructions on how to use the cooker aren't that great. It's been years since I've used a pressure cooker and haven't used one like this before. I don't think pressure cookers are run of the mill items in everyone's kitchen and I think the instructions should be more comprehensive. That being said; the cooker worked great. Other than the aluminum basket, I think it's very high quality. I'm happy with the purchase and look forward to making more soups, etc.
