Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Presto 6-Quart Aluminum Pressure Cooker
Customer Review: Exchanged immediately for stainless
Summary: 1 Stars
After buying an aluminum I read about the leaching of the mayerial into the food and the health risks involved. I was advised to spend the extra money. Since this is a stock item, I took it to Wal-Mart and traded it for a 6 quart Stainless. Boy was I surprised that a whole chicken does not fit as I used to have a sixx litter European and a whole chicken fits just fine. Anyway, I can't recommend this, because of the material and because of the size. If I could afford it, I would go for the electric pressure cooker with at least an 8 quart size of stainless - Cuisinart or other brands check Amazon around $150 and up. You get what you pay for.Customer Review: Presto Pressure Cooker

After 35 years of ownership, my old aluminum Presto pressure cooker needed replacing. We bought the aluminum model because we felt it was a better value than stainless. It works just as well as the original. Easy to use. Only slight change in design. We have faith it will also last many years. Customer Review: Totally Disappointed

I brought this item looking at its high ratings. It didn't take long to find out what was wrong with this cooker.
The first time, it didn't blow any whistle. I thought maybe I had put less water in it so that it couldn't build enough pressure. Second time it was worse, I filled the water, careful not to exceed the safety mark and closed the lid. Soon, water droplets started coming out of the edges. Thinking that it'd stop soon, I let it go. This time, the steam started coming out from the edges and more heavily from between the handles. It burnt the food and didn't pressure cook it.
I'm returning this product within a week of buying it.
Customer Review: Presto keeps improving with time.

This pressure cooker replaced a thirty year old Presto. The new cooker works flawlessly, is easy to clean and store, and seems sturdy enough to last for thirty years. Customer Review: Great Pressure Cooker!

I've used many pressure cookers and this one is the most reliable one!
Sturdy, easy to clean and cooks everything quickly & evenly.
This 6-quart is a wonderful size when preparing meals for 3-5 people.
