I have owned 2 of these-both failed within a year or year and a half with the same issue--the plastic ring inside the relief valve broke. Also, the seal wears quickly, the pot marks countertops not matter how many times it is washed, and it has a tendency to get clogged. Several times, always while cooking beef, the valve gets clogged very quickly and the relief valve would pop and spew extremely hot liquid everywhere. This has happened even when on very low temperatures. After the plastic ring in the valve breaks, it's pretty much useless.

I got this pressure cooker to tenderize very tough meats, cook beans faster, etc. I was a little worried since I never used a pressure cooker before, but this thing is really easy with clear labels for lock/unlock on the lid. A bright colored switch.

It also has a very sturdy design. It's worth 2x the amount you pay on amazon.

Caution: If you cook frothy things, boil off that stuff first, since it can clog the nozzles in the pressure cooker. That not something specific to this cooker, just a general safety tip for noobs to pressure cooking.

I bought this pressure cooker because a friend of mine owned one and was always using it to cut down the cooking time of some tougher cuts of meat.
I have used it 4 times since my July purchase and I am very happy. I have made a batch of split pea soup with ham hocks and it was done in 45 mins. The meat was falling off the bone, just the way I like it. I am still learning to get the correct timing with other cuts of meat but altogether I am satisfied.

Finally a reasonably sized AND priced pressure cooker for everyday use. This is easy to use, well made and easy to clean. Should not put it in the dishwasher, but it says so in the directions. Not that anyone reads them, but they should for a pressure cooker as improper use can be dangerous. This makes a pot of beans from dried, non soaked even, in no time flat and tenderizes even the toughest cut of beef. if you have been considering a pressure cooker, try this one, you wont be sorry.

First I need to say that this pressure cooker has a replacement gasket available on the web. this was one of the first point I looked for before buying!
When I received the cooker, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the product. We have now used it many times and all the times were successes! The pot cleans well and easily.
Please take some time to read the manual before operating it.

This is a VERY GOOD BUY!

The delivery was great and fast!
