4-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker - 01341  Product Reviews

"Well engineered, inexpensive, SAFE, does the job. What more can you say? Replaced an old Presto pressure cooker that served over 30 years before the handle broke. I expect comparable lifespan for this one. Steer clear of the cheap Mantra pressure cookers sold in Target. Those ones are dangerous and are not UL approved!"

"This is an excellent pressure cooker. I also have the 8-quart stainless steel model by Presto and I don't like that one as much as this one. I like the little rocker on top better because I know exactly how much pressure it has. It is super easy to carry this extremely lightweight pressure cooker to the sink, run water over it, and in 5-10 seconds the pressure is down! It is not heavy or hot. You just have to be careful when you do this. I actually prefer this method of quick cooling to the method used in the 8-quart, which is to open the little weight and let the steam shoot out the top. That method takes about a minute, plus there's steam all over the place. That seems more dangerous to me than going to the sink. This model is a smaller version of the 6-quart, so if you think this one is too small, that one would work for a family. This size is just right for one or two people. I always make very small quantities of food in it anyway as I don't like to have a lot of leftovers. Cleanup with this product is very fast and easy as it is so lightweight. Another nice thing is that replacement parts are very easy to obtain (rubber gasket and overpressure plug). I highly recommend this pressure cooker and the 6-quart stainless steel model as well."

"Very good quality cooker - cooks very fast and a pleasure to clean up. I have used pressure cookers for many years and this one is a winner."
