The best pressure cooker you can buy,
By voon "voon" (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kuhn Rikon 12-Quart Duromatic Stockpot Pressure Cooker (Kitchen)
I just received my 12 quart Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker a week ago and I've used it three times already. I was replacing my 30 year old 6 quart Presto cooker mainly because I wanted a larger utensil. I wasn't dissatisfied with my Presto, but until I tried this Kuhn Rikon, I didn't realize that such a gap existed in terms of quality.
I am so glad I chose this Kuhn Rikon 12 quart model. It is a very well built, heavy gauge stainless steel cooker with a nice heavy bottom to help heat it evenly. The handles are sturdy don't get hot while cooking on my gas range. The lid attaches and twists into place very easily with no awkwardness or sticking. The lid gasket is thick and heavy duty. There is no jiggler weight to get lost. The unit is very quiet. It is so quiet that I almost didn't notice when it had come up to pressure the first time I used it. You have to visually monitor it until you reach your cooking pressure and adjust your heat source to maintain it. There is no escaping rush of steam or hissing jiggler to alert you. But this is in no way a drawback. The cooker comes up to pressure quickly, and thanks to the red lines on the pop up pressure indicator, it is easy to adjust your heat to maintain the desired pressure. The faintest wisp of steam escapes from under the top steam deflector during cooking. If you want to release pressure quickly, you can push down on the central pressure valve with your bare finger without getting burned. It gets a little warm, but does not get hot. All of the steam is deflected by the round deflector on top. You can also push the pressure stem down with a spoon if you prefer. There are no negatives with this cooker from a usability perspective. I believe it is the best pressure cooker on the market. The only thing stopping this cooker from completely cornering the market is the hefty price. If it were priced 50% lower, it would easily take over market share from other contenders.

Superior Performance,
By Mattie "Mattie" (transplanted Yankee in the deep south) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kuhn Rikon 12-Quart Duromatic Stockpot Pressure Cooker (Kitchen)
I have been using pressure cookers since I got married back in 1970, have had basically every brand and model out there with the exception of Kuhn Rikon until now. I even have several of the newer digital models and have been pleased with all the performances of all these cookers over the years. With that being said, since I recieved this cooker I am blown away by its superior performance and now understand that there is a vast difference in these cookers. This pressure cooker is milled to such tight specs that you don't even hear it when it is up to pressure and doing its job! And it does its job even better than any of the others I currently own. I am so sorry I never invested in a Kuhn Rikon before. I love chicken and dumplings and so chose that as my test to do in my new cooker. I used a 7 pound hen and put it in the pot with a few seasonings and some water, closed the top and brought it up to low pressure. I couldn't hear it when it indicated it was up to pressure so I made hubby mute the sound on the TV, I still couldn't hear anything and yet the indicator said it was at pressure so I made hubby come out to the kitchen and see if he heard anything, he said he could only hear a faint hiss if he strained to hear it. I thought the pot was defective, but 45 minutes later I shut off the stove and let the pressure reduce naturally and then opened the cooker, low and behold a falling apart old hen with bright yellow broth, I removed the hen to cool and then added choped carrots, celery, onions and a few other seasonings and closed the lid again, brought it back up to pressure for 5 minutes then did a quick release, the veggies were done perfectly. I added the chicken meat back to the pot and brought it back up to a simmer and then added the dumplings, I covered the pot but did not bring it back up to pressure for the dumplings to steam and in an hour from starting the dish it was ready, with very tender chicken meat and perfectly done veggies. I have tried this dish with the same brand hen in every pressure cooker I own and always get tough meat no matter how short or long a time I let it cook, this time the meat was wonderfully tender, was it a result of this brand cooker? I think it is, I think this cooker is the absolute best you can get on the market. This cooker will be passed on to one of my children in the will.........just one more thing for them to fight over.Here it is almost a month later and I am even more happy with this pressure cookers performance if that is even possible. I have made amazing short ribs for a crowd, thirty stuffed cabbage rolls in one go instead of the usual three pots it takes me to make that many, some really amazing turkey stock with our Thanksgiving turkey carcass, ten pounds of potatoes for mashing on Thanksgiving day. I can only imagine what else I will be making in this cooker in the future and I will definitely be investing in some of their other sized cookers for when I don't need big amounts. UPDATE: Here it is almost one year later and I am still amazed and blown away by how well this cooker performs. It holds up to about 30 stuffed cabbage rolls, large pieces of roast and enough soup to feed an army. Does a few pounds of dried beans at once and I can't tell you how many gallons of stocks I have made in the past year. All in all it has helped me make our food a bit healthier during the past year and hubby has lost over 100 pounds in the process, I think because I am cooking more "real" food instead of using many processed products, with this cooker it takes no time to cook beans and such from scratch.
