Amazon.com Review 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

Great ProductNovember 30, 2008 I couldn't be happier with this product. It is a great pressure cooker at a good price. The quality has been very good and I have had no problems with this unit in over 1 year. I recommend this to anyone.
The Best Pressure Cooker On The MarketNovember 24, 2008 We have been using the Presto Pressure cookers for over 50 years and have found them to be as good as they get. The aluminum models are less expensive than stainless steel,cook just as well, and last just as long. Pressure cooking is simple, safe, and a real time saver. Try it...you'll like it. Just follow the directions.
Great value for the priceNovember 11, 2008 I purchased this for canning pint jars and smaller and it's perfect for small batches. I've had a Presto stainless steel cooker for over 30 years and it's been wonderful. While the aluminum cooker is more lightweight, so far it's been great and very easy to use.
Pressure CookerOctober 30, 2008 The product(pressure cooker) works fine. It saves a lot of cooking time and seals the flavor in. You can't beat it for cooking steaks. No matter how tough the steak is, it always comes out tender. If you are not familiar with pressure cookers, you should try one. The directions are simple and easy to follow. I purchased the 8-quart size, but there are smaller sizes. I'm only familiar with the Presto brand, but there are other brands that I'm sure works just as well. So give it a try. You will be glad you did.
Buy the stainless steel versionSeptember 24, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I absolutely love how food turns out in the pressure cooker. I made the best pot roast I have ever had in my life in this cooker. The only drawback is that aluminum leaves a bad aftertaste in acidy foods such as tomato sauces. If I had realized this before, I would have paid the extra money to get the stainless steel one.
