6 qt stainless steel pressure cooker, November 20, 2009
I am very happy with my pressure cooker that I purchased from Amazon. I'm happy with Amazon's service.
Fast, Safe, Inexpensive, November 15, 2009
I love using a pressure cooker...this one is easy to use, well made,(stainless steel,not aluminum) and Safe!! Highly recommended..The price of around 45.00 was great too : )
Presto Pressure Cooker, November 8, 2009
Used this product only once but it worked out fine. Nice stainless steel finish. Will have to wait to see how it holds up. Good price and free shipping with Amazon.
Bottom is solid . I was worried cause some reviews indicated a thin bottom.
Great pressure cooker, November 5, 2009
I've used this pressure cooker for over three years and highly recommend it. It is well made and works great. You can make all kinds of meals quickly and healthfully. I use it about four or five times a week. Got one each for my daughter and son to use in their new homes. Great price and a great way to make delicious meals.
Cheap.... Too Thin & Light, November 5, 2009
This pressure cooker would be just fine except for one major flaw. The bottom of the pot is really thin, which makes for uneven heating & burning on the bottom. I'm returning this item and will spend a few bucks more to get a heavier pot.
