PRODUCT 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: 8 quarts (7.6 liters). AMAZON.COM 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 8-quart 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! And it's big enough for home canning, too. (The USDA recommends pressure canning as the only safe method for low-acid foods such as vegetables, meats, and poultry.) 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 roast--even desserts like Oatmeal-Apple Crisp! 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 8-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 11-1/2 inches in diameter (17 inches including handles) and 9 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

Easy to use

Very good quality for being aluminum. Easy to use and instructions are easy to follow. It comes with a 15 pound weight, which is not specified anywhere except in the manual. Would have liked it to be the 10 pound weight. For those that are a little uneasy about pressure cooking, don't be. Its easy and fun and safe.

You can't go wrong with Presto

Great product that cooks food quickly

I had an old 6 qt. Presto pressure cooker that I inherited from my parents. We use it a lot at our primary house and wanted one for our vacation house, where we have more dinner quests so I ordered a larger one for our vacation house in Corolla, NC. We use it to cook artichokes in about 20 minutes and always feel safe using it. Anyone using one, needs to let all of the steam out before opening it and they will also love using this pressure cooker to cook food quicker.

Great price, and works very well

So far it's worked great. Rack works well and doesn't reduce cooking space hardly at all. Rattler isn't annoyingly loud even watching TV in the next room, unless you have it boiling too hard. Thought I might find it annoying, turns out it's actually a great way to tell if it's working normally without having to get up. Handle wiggles a bit but it hasn't given me any trouble so far. As long as you know this isn't the same as a normal pot, you have to check on it a bit as it comes up to temperature, etc, you'll be happy buying this. One thing is that if, at the end of cooking, you press the emergency release to check for pressure, and there isn't any pressure, and it's wet with water, it just pops off inside. This is no big deal, you just rinse it and put it back in, and I could solve this by not being an idiot, so I can't count that against it.

Lifelong.

While I have not used this most recent purchase as yet, I have grown up with this brand and have never heard my mom nor sister say anything that was not positive. I am anticipating the same when I use it. Should I find otherwise I shall post that.

Amazing, highly reccomend

I LOVE this so much!! I've used it for a while now and it never disappoints. No black mess that some others experience. It seems to happen to those who dont use it properly. Make sure you follow the directions carefully, and you're good to go. I've used it for soups, chili, beans and chick peas. I always soak or clean right after use so that I never have to worry about stuff getting stuck in or on anything. I reccomend this to anyone looking for a pressure cooker.

Terrific value

This is a great value. I decided on the Presto after seeing that it cooks at 15lbs pressure and parts are avalable for it at my local homehardware, or online. Getting a new sealing ring can be a problem for PCs that are not as well know. I did look around at PCs locally and saw the aluminum vs stainless steel models. The best overall value seemed to be this model. I've cooked rice in it this afternoon and it turned out great, doing soya beans (for natto) tomorrow. Boiling the beans takes 5 hours, with this PC it should take 30 minutes tops. The 8-quart size is perfect. Means only filling to the 1/2 way make won't be as much of a problem. With free SS-shipping I bought it Wed night and received it Friday morning! Instant gratification! Yes, I need to get out more.
