Review: Happy customer - I bought this to replace an aluminium pressure cooker of the same size. Now, it's not a wide 8 litre, but a tall 8 litre. It also doesn't come with basket/seperators so you will have to purchase those seperately. Considering the price of the item I found this a bit disappointing. There are several differences between my old pressure cooker and this one. Firstly, it's so quiet. I mean, really quiet. Knowing which pressure level you are at is easy, thanks to markings on the valve - no more 'is this spinning at the right rate' etc. When I read the instruction booklet, I thought it was wrong honestly. I thought, how can I possibly cook food with so little water. So, I used the amounts my old pressure cooker called for. Mistake - it's surprising how little water escapes with this cooker. This cooker is also very economical on the fuel. I have a gas cooker and for most things it will maintain high pressure at just above the lowest setting of a normal ring on my cooker. To hit the lower pressure setting I use the small ring instead. To give an idea of cooking speed, once up to pressure, it takes four minutes for cut potatoes to be ready to mash. Casserole beef is done in around 20 - 25 minutes, so very speedy. I use water hot out of the kettle to add to the cooker to speed it up getting to pressure. One difference I did notice with this cooker is it doesn't lock into place as I'm used to. If you push it around all the way, the handles don't align. It's in the correct position with the handles aligned - just something to be aware of for those of us who are used to a locking system. All in all, if you can swallow the cost, I would heartily recommend this cooker for beginners and veterans to pressure cooking alike. It's well made, non scary, economical to run and hopefully will provide many years of faithful service, and the way fuel prices are rising, it will probably pay for itself in the first couple of months anyway :P
Review: Best pressure cooker we've ever had - We've had several other leading brands of pressure cookers over a 30 year period and this one performs the best by far. Very quick and extremely quite compared to others. Works well on our induction hob. It's stainless steal and cleans beautifully. We would recommend this to anyone and would consider buying this as a gift for family and friends. It is more expensive than other brands but you get what you pay for and we feel it's worth the extra cost.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come with a trivet? Thank you.**
A: Yes it does but no baskets. You have to buy those separately. However, I use some from my old Prestige which fit and work well.

**Q: Does the 10 year warranty apply to the whole product?**
A: Warranty doesn't mean anything.  The base on mine came loose.  It warped a bit and wouldn't sit flat.  So I took photos, and asked for replacement.  The asked for me to send it to them for inspection.  They then claimed I had not maintained it properly.  They said there was food particles in the valve from overfilling.  Cost of repair would be £130.  Absolute rubbish.  Never overfilled.  They think a stray lentil means the bottom is completely entitled to explode off.  Fyi only ever used on a gas hob on minimum to keep it around the second pressure mark.

**Q: Is it easy to stabilise pressure at 1 bar / 15 PSI?**
A: There is no facility to operate at a steady 15PSI. Pressure indicators are at 5.8 and 11.6PSI. Safety valve operates up at 20+PSI.
So l would say a steady pressure at 15PSI could not be regulated accurately

**Q: Can you use salt in this pressure cooker? The manual says "Even the smallest amount of dampness containing salt will cause corrosion"??**
A: I think that refers to storage. You want to store it clean and dry with no residues. Or possibly, it refers to salt causing pitting in stainless steel - which can happen to any SS pot. This is true for pasta pots and all cookware - Add salt when the liquid is boiling and you're able to dilute it right away. If you let the salt sit on the base for too long before it melts, it will pit the surface. Hope this helps!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Double the Price. Double the quality?
*by W***M on 31 August 2015*

Superb quality. Excellent Design. - Very quiet PC. - Handles are usable even after extended cooking. - Performs very well with even heat distribution. - Efficient. Very little gas escapes. - Requires less attention than other pressure cookers. - Gas release mechanism is quick and easy. - All spare parts available on Amazon. Although unsure if Kuhn Rikon will supply the parts if your PC is still under warranty. Feels built to last. Most likely the best PC on the market.
