Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Presto 4-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker
Customer Review: Presto Cooker
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent product that I highly recommend. I use it 3-4 times a week.Customer Review: The Perfect Pressure Cooker
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a lovely pressure cooker--it is light, it has two handles (which helps when you carry it outside to cool off) and it is the right size for one or two people. AND it is inexpensive! However, do study that booklet many times, as the info that keeps you safe is somewhat distributed through the booklet, rather than in one spot. Not a time to sip wine as you cook!Customer Review: What can I say, It's the Best!

Customer Review: poor updated design on lid closing and handle
Summary: 1 Stars
I had purchased a 6 Quart and was very happy about the usage and ease of use from the get-go.
so I just decide to purhase a 4 Quart one to cook for smaller meal and as an entra set to speed my cooking process when I need two for a meal.
This 4 Quart is a bummer from the beginning. First of all, the handle design is much wider in hand-grip area for a female comparing with a 6 Quart, and as a female I can tell you I have relative big hands not those petite ones. ( which I want to ask and wonder WHY is it needed to be that way in the first place if it does not need more pressure or bigger pot than the 6 Quart in size? ). Then, you can not close the lid with ease which is the most important and fundamental part for a Pressure COOKER!!!!! No kidding!
I followed their instruction on you have to press down the Opposite end at beginning to close until it get lose after USE.
Ok, regarding this point, I have to ask for the following questions
1) does it make sense if the 6 quart does not have to have this procedure when I bought it in around January 09, why now this 4 Quart need to do so? why in design, they are essentially the SAME THING? if supposedly this more recent design comparing with what I bought a year ago?
2) after we tried to close it about 50 times or more just to see if it would make it loose and easier for daily use, so far we have not able to see it is any easier than the 1st pressure cooker I bought over a year ago, the 6 Quart one in year 2009.
Ultimately, I just do not get it as an Engineer myself that if a new product NEEDS CUSTOMER TO WORK AT IT TO MAKE IT SEAL EASILY AND BETTER, it is something wrong about the manufacturing thinking process!!!!!!! After all, Presto is able to make a 6 Quart model I bought a year ago works more smoothly.
So, my question is then followed on: What happened to this NEW related model????? for the 4 quart now? Why there is a Green insert to make note to customer that you have to have this special process for a customer to keep working at the lid to make it seal until you use it for sometime?
I do not know if they now change the 6 Quart for the handle and lid also like the 4 quart?
this is the 2nd replacement I got, I will keep for a few days to see how it works out and may have to return it if it continues to not work out.
I am not happy about the changes on the 4 quart one the lid-closure as well as the handle grip change!

Customer Review: Essential kitchen cookware
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently purchased the 4-qt Presto pressure cooker after reading very positive feedback from most customers. I have used it every day since receiving it and love it. I was a bit concerned about the size of the 4-qt (vs 6 qt), but it has been very useful for cooking everything from oatmeal to rice to meats for meals for four adults. It is very easy to use and easy to clean. I would highly recommend this pressure cooker!!
