First of all, this PC is gorgeous to look at! It also is a very nice size for one or two people and for cooking all kinds of vegetables, small meals, etc.

It is SO easy to use! I'd never used a stove top pressure cooker before and in less than five minutes I had all the information I needed to be able to cook on my range with ease and confidence.

If you've used the old rocker-style cookers you'll love how completely quiet this unit is.

I'm amazed at how easy it is to prepare quick meals that taste as good or better than those cooked the conventional ways.

Edited to add: Since I purchased this cooker I have ordered THREE more Kuhn Rikons in different sizes.

I have used this small cooker almost daily since its purchase and I don't know how I managed to cook for so long without it. The smaller size is fabulous for vegetables and smaller meals.

I've cooked beets, carrots, chicken Marsala, Lentils, Red Beans and Rice and countless other dishes. Everything has been just wonderful. I love having the larger sizes for stocks and stews and soups as well but this one is my go-to cooker, it is a kitchen essential for me.

I purchased 3 pressure cookers from Amazon. A 4 qt Fagor Futuro, Prestige stainless, and this Kuhn. I am not very pleased with the Fagor. It is the correct capacity, looks nice, built solid, but leaks steam around the handles so that it takes a long time to get a seal. The Prestige is very nice, seals tight, and comes up to pressure quickly. However, the handles looks and feel cheap, and you have to maintain your burner at higher temperatures as the cooker vents steam when it reaches high pressure. The Kuhn takes the best properties of the other two pressure cookers, and efficiently cooks your food. However, I have noticed it frequently drops pressure so you have to turn up the burner for a few minutes. It requires more attention to keep it at pressure by increasing and decreasing the burner settings. That is the only reason I took off a star. Otherwise it is the best pressure cooker that I have tried.
