Product Description

If you cook for a crowd try the Kuhn Rikon Duromatic 8-Quart Hotel Pressure Stockpot, serves 10-12. Everything about it is thicker and heavier to stand up to daily use year after year. The pan has a unique 11-inch diameter so there is lots of cooking surface for browning and sauteing. The aluminum heat-conducting base is especially thick. The short, stay-cool handles save space on the stovetop and for storing. This pressure cooker features an automated lid-locking system and safety release back-up system to give you ultimate peace of mind. Its spring-loaded valve eliminates guesswork. You see the exact pressure and know exactly when to start and stop cooking. So, there is no danger of overcooking and no noisy steam escapes. It's blissfully quiet. Cook healthy delicious meals in minutes, not hours. Easy to use with its interior fill lines, automatic locking system, and precision spring-loaded pressure release valve. Cooking with a Duromatic Pressure Cooker not only saves an incredible amount of time, it produces exquisitely delicious food. Vitamins are sealed in, instead of boiled away, vegetables keep their bright colors and flavors are so intense less seasoning is needed.

Subtantial, beautiful and excellent.
By Ella
I have the 2.5l Braiser and 6l pot as well and don't regret spending extra for the Kuhn Rikon brand. I never used pressure cookers before and now I find myself planning all my meals around this appliance and can have all 3 going at once. The mechanisms are flawless, clean up is a breeze and this size can easily hold a good Sunday roast. These are gorgeous pots that look good on a stove top and to keep them looking good I store the lid upside down in the pot with a towel between them so the metal cannot mark. I also keep the rubber gasket in the pot while it's not in use, it's quick and easy to pop it into the lid when the time comes.

BUY IT !
By justpeachy
Initially I was hesitant to buy it because of the significant price difference with the other pressure cookers, finally after lots of thinking,I decided to get the family style 8 qt stockpot.I cannot be happier with this purchase. I am able to cook delicious, wholesome food in a short period of time. The operation is also very simple and quiet.I am looking forward to try new recipes using this cooker.I love this pressure cooker so much, I am planning to install a bigger sink in the kitchen!You definitely get what you paid for!

Awesome Pressure Cooker
By Debbie A. Britnell
Oh my gosh....I love my new pressure cooker. I am VERY happy that I spent the extra money to buy this pot. I feel very safe using this pot with all of the safety features. I did like the book suggested and test drove my new pot with water in it so I would learn what to expect. I couldn't be happier. I only wished I had made this purchase years ago. I made pulled pork today with a pork roast in 2hours With my electric stove turned all the way down. My son cooked the same roast today in the crock pot and it took 6hours. I am in love. I'm cooking southwest chicken soup tomorrow. My husband is thrilled with all the delicious food. The cooker really seals in the flavor and cooks very quickly. I'm on the Internet every day looking for new ideas to cook in my pot. I even made my own broth today. You will not be disappointed with this pot. Happy Cooking!i forgot to mention that it took me a few days to decide whether I would need an 8 or 12 qt pot. I'm glad I chose the 8qt for every day use. I believe this 8qt works well for a family of 6. The 12qt would have been awkward to use on a daily basis with it being so big.
