Hooray for Prestige Indian pressure cookers!
By L. Walz
I am a European American vegetarian who does a lot of Indian cooking. I had heard about the "whistling pressure cookers" of India and was intrigued. I liked the idea that instead of watching a clock, keeping track of the progress of your recipe was a more informal system of counting whistles - a great thing for we tired, harried multitask-ers. I didn't want to spend a whole lot of money to find out if I liked them, so I tried this dear little Prestige 4 liter aluminum cooker at an economical Amazon reseller price. I love it! It makes even complex recipes very simple and fast, and for we vegetarians, the cooking of beans and pulses is now effortless and quick. I load it, seal the lid, and let the dear little thing hiss at intervals, which I can keep track of while I am doing something else. Well, I had been expecting a whistle, but mine lets go with this wonderful "Old Faithful" style HISS! No waiting: releasing the pressure is so easy, because all you have to do is put a spoon under the weight that fits on the spout, and it is safely gone in seconds and you can open the lid. Opening and closing it is very easy. I have full confidence in its safety. If the food is not cooked to your expectations, you put the lid back on, fire it up again, and let it go a few more whistles/hisses. I do find that my meals tend to require a couple more hisses than the recipes call for, so I wonder if the pressure is not as intense as in some other models, but that it is a minor issue. It is easy to clean and maintain as well. Excellent design - simplicity itself! It's up there with my Cuisinart as beloved kitchen tools. No matter how tired I am, I can toss a few things in, and have a delicious, nutritious fresh meal in less time than a microwave. Having fallen in love with Prestige Indian pressure cookers, which I use for all kinds of recipes now, I will be investing in a larger Prestige stainless steel one for when I cook for guests too. In the time it took me to write this review, my dear little Prestige 4 liter aluminum pressure cooker prepared me a restaurant quality dinner. Enthusiastically recommended. Thank you, India, for your wonderful whistling/hissing pressure cookers!

Excellent product
By Vamsi
Pressure cooker became a part of Indian kitchen long ago and ever since I moved to US on a temporary assignment, I was missing this product. I couldn't find many Indian stores sell pressure cookers, that too of Prestige at this cost. Though there are pressure cookers from Hawkins, I felt that the lid arrangements (which involved inserting the circular lid "inside" the base) on those cookers felt more cumbersome.Prestige lids are very easy to use; opening and closing them is as simple as opening/closing a bottle.Nothing less than a high-five for this product.

A cooker for every day use
By P. Sinha
It is a good pressure cooker. The only problem which I faced with it was that it is somewhat difficult to fit the lid of the cooker. However once you get to know how to do it, it is not that tough. Also in comparison with other brands, I found the cooker to be a bit small for 2 liters. Other than that it is a very good option for every day use. I am a student and I usually prepare vegetables and rice in it and it does the job pretty well and quickly. It is recommended to use the cooker on a low flame. The packaging of the cooker was also good and it arrived on time. I would recommend this to the people who are looking for a decent pressure cooker in a limited budget for every day usage.
