Beautifully Functional Pressure Cooker
By Jae
I bought this pressure cooker about 8 months ago. It has been in frequent use since purchase. We are a family of four and since I am only able to fill the cooker half way (necessary per the directions for most foods) the 10 quart size has been perfect. I love making broths and soups and have also cooked a roast, various vegetables, and dried beans. The thick plated bottom prevents any danger of scorching and the whole mechanism is super simple to operate. The huge bonus about pressure cookers is the time they save you. You can literally cook a soup "last minute" or at least turn one out in 30-45 minutes that tastes like it simmered for hours.I also love the way it looks on the stove from an aesthetic point of view (it is beautiful!). The quality and durability are paramount when you are talking about a kitchen appliance that maintains these kinds of pressures, but why not have a good looking pot as well?VERY happy with my purchase. Despite my initial hesitation over price, I feel that with all the meals I have churned out that it paid for itself within the first few months. Commercial broth costs about 2-3 dollars per quart at the grocery store. I can make a batch of 5 quarts of DELICIOUS broth in 35 minutes of high pressure cooking with a carcass from a rotisserie chicken, an onion, and a couple of carrots. This appliance removes some of the justification for ordering in or dining out because of the cooking time that is saved and the options that are opened up once you begin experimenting with all that you can cook and prepare inside a pressure cooker.The instruction book does not contain recipes, but rather basic timing for most foods/food categories that are generally cooked in a pressure cooker. I have found the timing for all the foods I have prepared to be fairly accurate and dependable. For dishes that are not listed I have found the internet to be great resource for timing my pressure cooker recipes. I will perhaps invest in a cookbook devoted to pressure cooking sometime down the road.I initially considered the 8 quart, but am very glad I reconsidered and chose the larger 10 quart appliance for our family since we enjoy leftovers and have a large freezer.Update: I have now been using this pressure cooker for over a year. I am still thrilled with it. Be aware that you will need to replace the silicone sealing rings once a year. I initially had trouble locating a source where I could order the sealing rings. When I called the Berghoff International store in Chicago they refused to help me since I did not purchase the pressure cooker from them. The Berghoff International store in Odessa Florida was gracious and helpful. The sealing rings are ten dollars and ninety five cents each plus shipping which was six dollars to my location. I ordered 2 so I would have a spare. Their phone number is (727) 853-3373.

By boscoblair
My two greatest fears about childhood were riding with my mom in her new Corvair, a/k/a "The Coffin On Wheels", and being in the kitchen with the hissing, rattling pressure cooker. It really did explode once, sending molten tomato spurts 30 feet toward random moving and non-moving targets. Ralph Nader took care of the Corvair and Berghoff took care of the pressure cooker.The Berghoff pressure cooker so quickly and evenly transfers the immediately available heat from its source that, even on a non-matching diameter base to burner surface, no hot spots are created and no food is annoyingly scorched. The sign of a perfectly metallurgically engineered tool. And safety features? You'd think that the design of this cooker was a collaboration between Mom's Who Don't Let Kids Play with Anything That Could Possibly Harm Themselves and the Union of Concerned Scientists. This pressure cooker has more redundancy in pressure safety pathways and locking systems that prevent accidentally discharge of gases and contents that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission was considering buying its patent! Just kidding, but it is that good! This pressure cooker does a flawless job of producing a uniformily cooked dish, in much less than 1/2 the time, in a pleasant to look at sculpted pot that one rarely sees the likes of at the local Goodwill Store! If you have the money, buy it. If not, save for it and buy it!

be very careful with this!
By Hope M
Received today, and excitedly washed and dried it, put in the wild rice I've been waiting to try in it, and went to seal the lid on. The side handle on the side that you would seal the lid with (the lever side) came away from the body of the pot. It had been poorly attached to begin with, and just trying to seal it the first time was enough to make it pull away. Since the handle is the part that holds the pressurized lid on, this could have been a disaster.I am sorely disappointed. It's already packed and ready for it's return, but I put a note inside the pot, in case Amazon tries to restock it. And for those of you who do buy it, please be VERY CAREFUL and look it over well before initial use.My rice is in a stove top pot, and I am now waiting the standard time for it, but at least my kitchen and dogs and face are intact.My guess is this is a quality control problem at the manufacturer's level, and more than likely, they have succumbed to greed and now have their product made in China. If the weld was that poor on MINE, can't be that great on most of them. Be careful.Too bad. It's really pretty.
