Customer Reviews

Great product, but not the brand I was supposed to get4
Before I bought this pressure cooker, I researched it with family and friends that had used the older pressure cookers - the ones that were dangerous. Most people advised that I stay away from using one and that you really had to be careful, but I was determined to be able to provide a good home-cooked meal on a week night without leaving the slow cooker on all day.

My first use was making one of the chicken recipes in the recipe book that comes with it. After putting it on the stove and turning it up, I peeked around the corner until it whistled. The concept is to that once it whistles the first time, you turn the heat down just enough that it will whistle every few minutes. Unfortunately you have to figure out what that point is, but once you get the hang of it, you will feel more comfortable cooking. I could make almost every meal with this thing now.

This product allows me to make ultra tender roasts, mouth watering corned beef, pinto beans, basically anything that you would normally cook in a few hours, you can make in less than an hour.

The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because I got it with an Amazon daily deal, and I was supposed to get the 8qt Fagor and ended up getting the Wearever. I don't really think the brand mattered, but I felt like they should have been honest about the brand in the first place.
