We received the Magefesa Star R 10 Quart Pressure Cooker very quickly. This has to be the best pressure cooker on the market and at the best price too. It has a heavy bottom and is built safe and solid. This is our second and larger Magefesa pressure cooker and we couldn't be happier with them both. The 10 quart size allows cooking with alot of ingrediants and for more people and is a nice versital size cooker.

Simply put, this pressure cooker does what it was intended to do. It works just fine. The only thing I might comment about is the fact that the handles are not of the greatest quality. Of course, as I say this, I realize that I am probably at fault. You have to assemble the handles yourself. It's a simple process, a plastic handle, a screw, and a hole in which to screw the handle into. Basic, even for a tool challenged person such as myself. So, instead of using a basic screw driver, I decided to be fancy and used a drill. I must have been an eager beaver, because I over drilled the thing, and the handle simply snapped in half. Of course, this does not in any way, shape, or form affect the way the pressure cooker function operates, and I have been using it successfully ever since. It's just annoying having only one handle. So, could the handle have been made with better, stronger material? Maybe. But of course, using a drill wasn't smart either, so...

At any rate, if you are looking for a big pressure cooker like I was, this one works just fine. Just be careful when screwing the handles in place...they are quite fragile! Enjoy!

I received my Pressure Fryer the other day and it looks great. There is so few pressure Fryers out there, the only two I found with the heavy bar on the lid were both foreign.

I was not happy with the streamer basket, it was kind of small and short. I wanted a deeper one for the price I paid for this.

And most importantly, I did NOT receive a manufactor booklet for using this item. I know it is foreign and but you really NEED the booklet for ordering new seals on it; when they eventually go out on the lid. But most importantly I needed the book, so I know what the limits to frying with this thing!!

I had to order a How to book online for pressure cooking and it says "MAKE sure you get a manufactor book with your pot.." I can't believe they didn't give me one?? I guess different pressure pots have different cooking specs..

Aside from all that, it's a good heavy duty pot, but the price is some what steep on this item.
