If cooking with a pressure cooker sounds old-fashioned, think again. Great strides have enhanced the Duromatic since its inception in 1949. Swiss company Kuhn Rikon has made the pressure cooker quieter, safer, and a smart option in today's world, given how quickly it cooks and how much energy it saves. Pressure cookers are rapidly gaining in popularity, and this one is an exceptional model crafted in Switzerland. You'll find such foods as rice, grains, stews, poultry, and vegetables cook in just one-third the time of conventional methods, and retain vital nutrients. Choose from a variety of sizes to meet any household's needs. By saving 70 percent of the gas or electricity normally used in conventional cooking, the pressure cooker can pay for itself in just months.
The Duromatic is constructed of 18/10 stainless steel that encapsulates a solid aluminum core in the base for quick, even heating. Put in your ingredients (recipes are included), and the integrated lid automatically locks and won't open under pressure. A new generation spring-loaded valve uses red lines to show you at a glance whether the right pressure has been reached, and when cooking is done, you simply turn the knob for quick or slow release. Unlike old models, the Duromatic cooks quietly, without hissing, and five safety releases let you rest assured the pressure won't get too great. Kuhn Rikon covers the dishwasher-safe Duromatic with a 10-year warranty on materials and workmanship, and guarantees parts will be available for 15 years. --Ann Bieri

These pressure cookers are awesome,
By Rich (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kuhn Rikon Duromatic Top Pressure Cooker 3.75-Quart (Kitchen)
I have two of these pressure cookers, the 2.5 L frying pan and a 6L pot and I use these routinely, especially the frying pan.
When I get home from work, I can fry chicken in about 10 minutes from the time it hits the grease. I 'steam' potatoes (peeled and quartered) for 5-10 minutes, then use the cooked potatoes for mashed potatoes. Since they have never been immersed in water, they have the absolute maximum of flavor and nutrients. Everybody raves about these mashed potatoes, especially if they are made with something like Klondike potatoes. It just about as fast using the pressure cooker as it is to make instant mashed potatoes in the microwave. I cook pot roast, chicken cacciatorre, stews, soups and especially bean dishes and brown rice. I turn the heat up to high until the second ring is exposed and then turn the burner down to the absolute minimum. It really does save a considerable about of energy and time. If you have a family of 4, get the 2.5 L frying pan. You'll never regret it.

This review is from: Kuhn Rikon Duromatic Top Pressure Cooker 3.75-Quart (Kitchen)
This is my FOURTH K-R Pressure Cooker. I bought this one because it's such a great size for smaller meals/vegetables/soups. Also I really love the Duromatic Top®, it's a real improvement over the older style as it is so much easier to read the markings at a distance and it is effortless to release the pressure as you can just rotate the knob and walk away. I just love cooking in my pressure cookers.

Our Favorite Cookware,
By Bella (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kuhn Rikon Duromatic Top Pressure Cooker 3.75-Quart (Kitchen)
We have three Kuhn Rikon pressure cookers and we use them almost every time we cook - it's the main cookware we use. It's fast, easy, and it saves energy because it takes less time to cook. And the food's great - I like eating at home better than any restaurant.
