Product Description
Product Description
Product description Create meals in minutes with the Kuhn Rikon Duromatic pressure cookware saucepan. Made of stainless steel, this saucepan style cooker feeds eight to ten people. With up to 70% reduction in cooking time and 70% energy savings, this saucepan is both fast and environmentally friendly. This pressure cooker locks in vitamins, nutrients and flavor that are lost with conventional cookware -- making it easy for you to create healthy, delicious meals for yourself and your family, using a lot less energy and time. This saucepan includes a trivet for steaming and is backed by a 10 year manufacturer's warranty. 8-3/4" diameter, with a 7 quart capacity Amazon.com Beginning in the 1930s, two successive generations of busy cooks used pressure cookers to prepare family meals. The next generation, with memories of valves dancing and hissing on stovetops, snubbed pressure cookers. Now pressure cookers have come back, those old valves replaced by modern versions that ensure safety while delivering the speed, ease, and nutritional benefits of pressure cooking. Pressure cooking also saves 70 percent of the energy normally consumed while cooking. This heavyweight, stainless-steel beauty is a fine example of contemporary engineering and style. Its mirror finish gleams, and its black handles--including a loop handle for two-handed lifting--stay cool. Pressure-cooking traps steam to heat foods at temperatures higher than boiling. An aluminum disk in the base, sandwiched by stainless steel, speeds the process even more through fast heat conductivity. It's safe on electric, gas, ceramic, and induction stovetops. Little water is required, so nutrients, flavor, and color are not boiled away. Vegetables emerge vibrantly colored from the steamer insert. Stews, soups, beans--even meat loaf, pork chops, and desserts such as bread pudding--come out tasty and nutritious. (A booklet containing dozens of recipes is included.) You can brown meats in the pot before the lid is locked on, or use the pot without the lid. The stem of the operating valve shows high and low pressure so you can adjust heat for different foods. After cooking, the pressure can be reduced slowly (just let the cooker sit for a while), normally (press the pressure indicator), or quickly (run tepid water on the lid's rim). Safety measures abound: the lid twists onto the pot; a rubber gasket ensures a tight seal. A vent releases steam if pressure builds too high, as does a valve that also locks the lid when any pressure whatsoever is inside the cooker. Cleanup is a bit involved: hand wash the pot, gasket, and lid with a mild detergent, then lightly oil the gasket. Normally the valve is self-cleaning, but if food passes through it, disassembly is required. Minor cleaning inconvenience, though, should not overshadow the major convenience of pressure cooking. --Fred Brack

This gave me lots of pause before trying this one.
This cooker stays quiet under most cooking conditions. It does include a good visual indicator at the top center. After a couple of uses, it was easy to get a decent feel about which burner setting works best for which cooking conditions. This will make noise if you over-heat. A very good thing!
What I was most impressed about, compared to my old jiggle top, was how it maintains good cooking conditions at lower stove settings. This gets the cooking job done with much less heat input than what I used before. It's a keeper.
Edit Aug. 2016. Still very happy. Additional observation: works well with induction cooktop, which was newly added to my kitchen.
The only thing that was a little disconcerting was that neither the manual nor the cookbook showed the specific directions for how to assemble the top piece. Thus, I was a little concerned about whether we had all of the required parts. My guess is that the assembly instruction sheet went by the wayside with the packing material. But we figured it out, and it worked perfectly when we used it. Such little inconveniences are to be expected when one buys a repackaged product.
The night it was delivered, I made a recipe from the Internet that called for leeks, mushrooms, brown rice, fennel seeds, and saffron (omitted that, didn't have it), all cooked in a broth base. Once everything was chopped and thrown into the pot, the entire dish was done in 25 minutes. Normally I don't cook brown rice because it's always hard and dry, no matter how much water or broth I use, or how long I steam it. Let me tell you, the brown rice that came out of this pressure cooker was almost creamy. This was fantastic for someone like me who can't have dairy and totally misses those creamy risottos, as well as all other things dairy. The entire dish was so delicious, and I didn't have to stand over it and stir for an hour, either. Win!
I should disclose that this was my first attempt at using a pressure cooker. I am a pretty decent cook, but I have my share of flops now and then, especially with a new recipe and a new piece of equipment. So I was really jazzed at how well this cooker worked. It did take some experimentation with our gas stove to keep the pressure in the correct zone. It got too high at one point, so I simply turned the stove off until the pressure went back down to the correct zone. I wasn't sure how that would affect the cooking time (answer: it didn't). Next, I'm looking forward to making a carnitas recipe by Bobby Flay that I found on YouTube.
Cleanup was really easy, too - warm soapy water was all it took. NOTHING was stuck to the bottom at ALL - a common complaint with cheaper pressure cookers that don't have the heavy bottom that this one has. A few swipes with a dry towel and it looked like new. Believe me, I'm going to be scouring Amazon for any other deals on great cookware like we snagged with this one!

Everyone with a mind to eco and their wallet should buy 3 pressure cookers and a microwave ;)
