Too Stupid.......
By Old Gregg
I have had the Magefesa 8L STAR R since 2004. I bought it at a Home Show and probably overpaid for it (compared to AMAZON!). Regardless, this thing is built like an army tank! 3 safety features mean you are not going to paint the ceiling with a pot roast or more importantly scald anyone in the kitchen. You can buy cheaper PC's with lots of plastic on them, or you can buy a MAG with all metal parts (except for the handles and gasket). This thing is 18/10 INOX not that cheap-*ss thin aluminum like they sell at Wally-World. I'll admit I had sealing problems at first but I took the gasket out of the lid and washed it with a combination of dish washing detergent and white vinegar. Since then no sealing problems.The food this thing makes is outstanding. The included trivet/insert makes the PC very versitile.If you are not dumber than the directions (or me), you will love and trust this PC. PC's are the original microwave (fast cooking) and this Magefesa just brings a lot more to the table than the cheaper ones do, literally.Get a good PC cookbook to compliment your MAG, my advice.

Instruction Manual
By C. Mcinnis
I actually purchased the 10 qt (and love it!) but wanted to mention that you can download the manual at the manufacturer's website since it is not included in the box. [...]

Magefesa star R pressure Cooker
By Thomas H. Dacheux
Purchased the item when parts for another pressure cooker could not be found. I have used the cooker for about 8 months and have found that the pressure safety valve is made of a brass plunger against an aluminum nut. The brass pin has become pitted and does not seal against the aluminum nut in the lid thus leaking steam. This part can not be found on any site for the cooker as a replacement part. For this reason I suggest buying a pressure cooker made in the USA.
