5.0 out of 5 stars My new friend in the kitchen, November 16, 2009

Bought two of these beauties, and couldn't be more pleased. I'm thinking about throwing away most of my other pots and pans. They seem to be well made, and are loaded with safety features: locking handle when under pressure, pressure relief valves, and a little window that the gasket covers which acts as a fail safe if the pressure gets too high. I think these are the greatest things since remote control for the TV! The kids say the pressure cookers make the best food they have ever had! I tell them it is really the cook. Forget the knife, roasts are so tender all you need is a fork. They work great on my indoor flat top electric range and my outdoor gas range. One negative - they aren't supposed to be stored with the lid in place. Apparently it is not good for the gasket. This is probably true for all pressure cookers that have a gasket. Forget the cookers with gauges, the weight is worth its weight in gold - well maybe silver. Enjoy!

Heavy duty and quality built. We've only used this a couple of times (first time pressure cooker users!) but ran into no issues whatsoever. The instructions are very good and with the quality of this cooker we really had no worries what-so-ever about it.

Would highly recommend this over any of the cheaper cookers you see on black friday at kohls or jcpenney

3.0 out of 5 stars Works except the safety guard requires "fiddling", May 18, 2011

Generally, this unit works. I'm no expert pressure cook, but in the few times I've used this I've enjoyed the results. The cooker is simple to use.

However, I have one problem. When the lid is locked, there's a pin that slides in the handle, pulling back a guard that lets a plunger pop up when under pressure. This plunger creates the seal needed to increase the pressure. This is a safety mechanism to make sure the lid is in the proper position.

However, the plunger never just pops into the opening and seals the pot because the guard never quite moves back all the way. Instead, I need to get a wire-like device to insert into the hole, and push the guard back so the plunger can pop up. It's not a big deal, but I shouldn't have to do this.
