Know your size
By C. Cohen
Although I love this pressure cooker, I wish I had purchased a larger size. That is entirely my fault. Clearly I'm not going to make a huge soup in a 3.7 quart pot. Potential buyers should think about what it is that they expect to cook and how much, and then select an appropriate size. 3.7 quarts sounded big enough to me, but remember that the pressure cooker can only be filled half way for pressure cooking soups, grains, beans, and foods that expand, or 2/3 full for other foods.The pressure cooker comes with a recipe book, however all the recipes are for size 4 quart or larger pressure cookers (except the frying pan recipes).The instruction manual says it is NOT suitable for apple compote, cranberries, porridge (oat flakes), barley, peas, pasta, macaroni, rhubarb, or some cereals because those foods tend to foam and froth and could block the valve.Otherwise, this pressure cooker is great! I have no problems with it. It works wonderfully. I will happily use it to make my dried beans, brown rice, and veggies.Someday I may even buy a bigger one :)

Nothing beats Kuhn Rikon!
By Jasmin Dickerson
I don't know what I would do without my pressure cooker! and I know I would not buy any other kind but Kuhn Rikon. There is no way to be disappointed with this product unless you just don't know how to use it. We are vegetarian and live on a very healthy, grain, rich in legumes type of diet .. my kids love rice cereal, steal cut oats ..etc. and I just can't imagine making life easy without one of these .. instead of having to plan ahead or wait 45minutes to 2 hours for some dishes *(like barley and wild rice) it takes anywhere from 2 minutes to steam veggies and cook pasta, to 30 minutes max for the harder grains (without soaking!) I highly recommend this product ... it is an essential must have in every kitchen! just throw everything in (all those yummy grains, veggies, and even meat if you like, with a good broth) lock it and let it do its thing! :)

Unbelievable...!!!
By Pandoya
This is my first pressure cooker and boy am I filled with joy!I don't know how I've lived without ever having one.As a starter, I picked this anniversary version for its size and price.I couldn't be happier. I cook often enough and usually use good quality pots and pans. As soon as I held this cooker in my hand, I could tell this was a high quality pot before functions as pressure cooker. As aforementioned, I'd never owned/used pressure cooker before so I couldn't really compare its quality with other brand, but the pot is VERY quiet, safe and high quality. I was skeptical about reduced cooking time as 20 minutes for brown rice and 7 minutes for risotto sounded just unreal and am glad to find out they were all true. Brown rice usually took more than 1 1/2 hour with rice cooker and didn't come out as good as cooked in pressure cooker and I am hooked to make variety of risotto and they all come out creamy and just al dente.I have to get a larger pot now and most likely, I will stick to Kuhn Rikon since they are one of a few (?) that reaches the highest 15 psi (I really wanted to try WMF and it doesn't seem to reach 15 psi although I do not if this is true).
