The Durotherm pressure cooker combines the best of pressurized and conventional cooking in an elegant vessel. Kuhn Rikon makes the cooker in Switzerland of mirror-polished, double-walled 18/10 stainless-steel construction, with a heat-efficient aluminum core in the base. Two stay-cool side handles and a clip-on insulated base allow you to carry and place this beauty directly on the table for elegant serving. Two lids are included: a two-handled pressure lid with its new-generation spring-loaded valve for safety; and a thermal-insulated lid with stay-cool handle for highly efficient, self-basting conventional cooking. Thanks to the insulated lid and base, the food inside the cooker can stay hot for two hours after it's done, a boon to a family on a staggered eating schedule. Also included is a steam trivet that sets inside the bottom of the pot for virtually water-free and therefore highly nutritious cooking.

Swiss company Kuhn Rikon has been making and improving upon pressure cookers since 1949. The Durotherm and Duromatic cookers are quieter, safer, and a smart option in today's world, given how quickly one cooks and how much energy it saves. Pressure cookers are rapidly gaining in popularity, and the Durotherm is an exceptional model. 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. By saving 70 percent of the gas or electricity normally used in conventional cooking, the pressure cooker can pay for itself in just months. Kuhn Rikon covers the dishwasher-safe cooker with a 10-year warranty on materials and workmanship, and guarantees parts will be available for 15 years. --Ann Bieri

This review is from: Kuhn Rikon Durotherm 5-1/3-Quart Pressure Cooker (Kitchen)

This is NOT your grandmother's pressure cooker! It's a space-age design. I have owned this combination pressure cooker and thermal cooker for about 4 years and it is the best piece of cookware I've ever purchased. I thought it would help save me a little time in the kitchen, but it does so much more than that. Not only can I cook a 3 pound roast in 35 minutes, but it is so full of flavor that I never cease to be amazed by what a difference a pressure cooker makes in the flavor of my foods. I can also turn off the heat under the pot when I'm doing thermal cooking and it will finish cooking with the retained heat...what an energy saver. Many of my friends and family have gone out and purchased their own after watching me cook with my durotherm. I'm thinking about getting a larger Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker in the future.

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.
