Excellent pressure cooker
By S. Lauterbach
I owned a six quart Kuhn Rikon Duromatic for about a decade. It worked great the entire time. But I recently destroyed it by leaving it on the high setting on a electric stove top with no liquid in it. The heat was so intense it delaminated the aluminum wafer on the base. So I just bought the 8.5 quart model. I love being able to cook lots of veggies all at once, so the increased size over my previous one is much appreciated.The model I had for ten years worked flawlessly. It did require occasional maintenance about every five years when the spring pressure mechanism on the top gets a little sticky. I disassembled the spring mechanism and cleaned the shaft with 4/0 steel wool. A mild kitchen cleanser would have accomplished the same task. It was not difficult to do.I have no hesitation rating this current model right at the top of the pack. They have made improvements over the one I bought 10 years ago. The industrial design is prettier to look at and the lid can be put on more easily. But the mechanism for controlling pressure appears to be the same, and it is a tried and proved design.

Can't live without it
By Sophia
Thanks to this pressure cooker, and Lorna Sass's book Pressure Perfect, the staff at the drive through at McDonalds must be wondering what happened to me and my kids. I can have a great dinner ready in 20 minutes, even if everything's in the freezer. This pot has been a great size for cooking everything, and it still fits in the dishwasher. I wish I'd bought one years ago.

A great pressure cooker, except for the price
By George T. Chow
The Kuhn pressure cooker is definitely a top quality product, except for the steep price. The unit is quiet, without the hissing sound and it does a great job in cooking tough meats. The other issue that might be a disadvantage for some is that not all the parts are dish washer safe.
