Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

Easy to clean an dishwasher safe.
EASY One-Touch open and close mechanism allows for one-hand operation. Locking mechanism secures pressure cooker cover to the pot in any position.
The One-Touch steam release is a convenience feature, but it is also a safety feature: no press-and-hold to release the steam! Just one press and you can walk away to let the pot release steam on its own.

What reviewers didn't like

A good size for smaller families, but don't expect to cook fora crowd.
The only problem with this system is that veggies usually cook much faster than meat so you can get overcooked veggies.
