3.0 out of 5 stars
Great size, poor instructions, January 6, 2005
This review is from: Mirro 8 quart aluminum pressure cooker.
I asked for this for Christmas because of the large width of the pan. One of my favorite things to pressure cook is lasagne and this holds a 9 inch dish. A standard cooker only holds a 7 inch dish. My husband and son make short work of a 7 inch lasagne.
I wouldn't recommend this for someone who's never used a pressure cooker before. The instructions are very poorly written and it's impossible to reach customer service with a question. As of Christmas their website had no information on it other than a phone number which went to an over-filled voicemail box.
This is one of three pressure cookers I own, so I eventually figured out how the pressure setting works, sort of.
Overall I'd say the product is adequate but not great. It does what it's supposed to -- pressure cook. If I had to buy another PC, I'd look for a different brand with the same capacity and skip Mirro.
