Quality Basic Pressure Cooker
By RM
This is a solid, basic stainless pressure cooker, that is quite a bargain at the $41.45 price (or $33 something after the $25 off $125 kitchen purchases).Advantages:* Easy to use flip pressure regulator for quick release of pressure* Only has 15 lbs pressure that is adequate for normal pressure cooking* Has handles on both sides that makes the cooker easy to carry and stable when full.* Stainless won't interact with food product such as tomatoes.* 8 qt. capacity gives 4 qts of capacity when cooking foaming products such as beans or lentils.* Easier to clean than some pressure cookers I have used.Disadvantages:* Only cooks at 15 lbs of pressure, where some recipes call for only 10 lbs and would have to be adjusted.* Most canning is done at 10 lbs pressure at sealevel and up to 1000 ft elevation* I respectfully disagree that this cooker is meant for canning. It could process 3 or 4 pints in a pinch, but a 23 qt pressure cooker is the canning workhorse and will hold 19 pts or 7 qts. The manual suggests not canning in it, and it doesn't have a canning trivet included.* It is much lighter weight than older Presto models, so I don't know if it will last as long as the old ones did.Overall, it is a great pressure cooker for most cooking, and is a very good value.

By Fruit Loop
I bought this for canning and found it more than worth the money. I never expected to use it for cooking but it came with great recipes so I tried it. Makes wondrous custards and delectable roasts as well. Forget the more expensive models - this one does a fabulous job of canning and spare parts are readily available (I blew out a pressure indicator - my fault). Highly recommend

By R. Bramwell
Presto's 8 qt stainless pressure cooker is awesome; it's quiet, effective, and easy to clean. Its safety features do not interfere with regular use in any way. The short handles/grips are better than the short-grip + long-handle combination used on some models. This Presto just makes sense. It is my third one and is the best by far.Though I only have experience with Presto, I cannot imagine another cooker being worth either the savings or the extra expense.If you only want to own one pressure cooker, don't get the smaller sizes. When you want to do a big stew, chicken or roast you won't have room. A small secondary pressure cooker for extra vegetables etc. might be useful, but not as your primary cooker.Hey Presto, A double-decker basket would be nice for separating certain foods. How about it?*Never* buy the aluminum pressure cookers, they save you money but are forever spreading aluminum about when you clean them. Stainless steel rocks(heh heh).As always, never risk letting a cooker run dry while cooking under pressure.
