Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Presto 6-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker
Customer Review: Nice sized cooker
Summary: 5 Stars
This cooker will hold about 4-5 quarts of uncooked food at start. You never fillup a pressure cooker to the brim! This cooker seals really well. Our older cooker does not seal that well and so it takes a while for the steam to build up. Not this one. Build quality is excellent. Our older Presto had lasted over 12 years and is still usable. Never needed anything to replace although it does not seal very well as said. This one we shall see.Customer Review: Pressure cooker
Summary: 5 Stars
It is light weight and easy to use. I had a Presto Pressure Cooker for almost 50 years that finally broke and was surprised at how inexpensive a new replacement was. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to save time, it is fast and easy.Customer Review: works grate!!

Customer Review: Save Gas and Electricity!
Summary: 4 Stars
Gas and electricity has gone up so much lately. Pressure cookers can help you save by making cooking a lot much faster. It comes with a compact user guide and a small cookbook.
Pressure cookers can be dangerous, so make sure to read the safety precautions. Never fill it more than 2/3 of its capacity. You cannot open the lid while it is still pressurized with the built-in precautionary lock, but the rocker valve can easily get toppled and extremely hot steam can escape through it.
Pros:
- Stainless steel. You do not want aluminum for health reasons.
- We have been using this for more than 5 years. We just have to replace the rubber gasket around the lid.
- Although not as cheap as we like it to be, if you compare it to other manufacturers, you still save some money.
Cons:
- The pressure valve rocker. Other pressure cookers (but more expensive) has a non-removable pressure valve. It is often get misplaced.
- The rocker makes quite a bit noise.
Customer Review: Perfect for fast cooking
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this to quickly make stocks, and cook soups and vegetables. It really does work, and makes yum-yum foods quickly, when one doesn't have the time to spend 3 hours making foods. I'm impressed by the quality of the stainless steel, particularly the bottom, which is pretty thick. I don't see any downsides to owning one.
