Product Description
Cook Faster, Eat Healthier!
Reduce time spent in the kitchen preparing meals with the help of this 6-quart electric pressure cooker--it cuts cooking times up to 70-percent when compared to traditional stovetop cooking methods. The unit traps steam inside, which builds up pressure to create hotter temperatures, and its tight seal locks in heat, moisture, and flavor, as well as vitamins and minerals for exceptionally healthy, great-tasting meals like soup, chili, and other one-dish entrees. It also works well for cheesecake and custard, because dessert should never be left off the menu. The unit's push-button controls and easy-to-read digital display eliminate guesswork, while its precision digital thermostat regulates temperatures. Choose from preprogrammed settings for high- or low-pressure cooking, browning, simmering, sauteing, and warming. For safety, the cooker must be fully locked for pressure to build, and it will remain locked until the pressure inside drops to zero. Other highlights include a 99-minute timer with an LED countdown display, cool-touch side handles, and a nonstick cooking pot that cleans up easily by hand or in the dishwasher. A dishwasher-safe trivet also comes included. Housed in brushed stainless steel, the 1000-watt pressure cooker measures 12-1/5 by 12-1/5 by 13-1/5 inches and carries a three-year limited warranty.
You're about to experience a better, faster, and healthier way of cooking. Your Cuisinart Electric Pressure Cooker seals in steam to cook hotter and faster, and it seals in nutrients as well. Cook in less water and experience textures and tastes that are simply sensational. Features easy touch-button settings, a countdown timer, and a cooking pot big enough for a pot roast with all the fixings. Enjoy!
Pressure Cooker Settings
• Low Pressure
• High Pressure
• Browning – This preset temperature allows cooking over high heat, without the lid, before pressure cooking. Browning foods in a small amount of fat in this way seals the outer surfaces of meats and vegetables, producing a visually appealing, flavorful exterior with a moist, tender interior.
• Sauté – The preset temperature, done prior to pressure cooking with lid removed, allows you to quickly soften vegetables in a small amount of fat or liquid without browning, and to cook items such as rice (Arborio, brown, Carnaroli, white, etc.) for pilafs and risottos.
• Simmer – This preset temperature allows you to cook liquids at a lower temperature. It is primarily used to finish cooking some items, i.e. to add ingredients to a risotto, sauce, or stew or to continue cooking process to achieve preferred texture.
• Keep Warm – Holds and keeps cooked food warm for up to 12 hours. Automatic Keep Warm Feature: When LED display reaches, the pressure cooker automatically shifts to Keep Warm temperature. The Keep Warm light will turn on and unit will beep to indicate cooking is complete.

Effortless Cooking
- With the unit on and the LED displayed, press the MENU button to select the desired cooking function. The function light will flash.
- Select Low or High Pressure setting.
- Press TIME to select number of minutes needed for pressure cooking. Time increases in 1-minute increments up to 40 minutes. Time increases in 5-minute increments from 40 to 99 minutes.
- Press START/CANCEL to start cooking. The pressure cooker will begin to heat. The red float will rise as pressure builds. When the selected pressure level is reached, the light in lower right-hand corner of LED will stop flashing and remain lit. At this point pressure cooking begins and the timer will start to count down. The timer will not begin to count down until full pressure is reached, which may be several minutes after the red float has fully risen.
Recipe Tips and Hints
• Many family favorites can be easily adapted for preparation in your Cuisinart Electric Pressure Cooker – soups, stews, side dishes and more.
• The amount of liquid needed is much less than for traditional cooking methods.
• Never exceed the Maximum Fill Amount of the pressure cooker.
• Make sure the lid is on firmly and tightly, and moved as far counterclockwise as it will go to allow proper locking.
• Hot foods/liquids will come to pressure more quickly than cold foods/liquids.
• When pressure cooking is completed, follow recipe instructions for releasing pressure. For Quick Pressure Release it is important to begin immediately upon completion of pressure cooking; otherwise foods will continue to cook, and may overcook.
• Do not store pressure cooker with lid on tightly. This saves on gasket wear and tear.
• More nutrients are preserved during pressure cooking than with traditional cooking methods, as less liquid is used and thus fewer nutrients are lost to evaporation.
• To adapt your own recipes, find a similar one in our cookbook and use it as a guide. In general, cooking time will be at least 1⁄3 to . of the traditional cooking time. Reduce your cooking liquid by at least half – you may need to "play" with your recipe to get it right. You may wish to add vegetables at the end of cooking to avoid overcooking. You can also use the cooking charts provided as a guide.

*** Cooking: If you have experienced only stove top pressure cookers (we have 2 and they are huge)you can use this one without any issues. The only problem is the knee jerk reaction at first to keep checking it because that's what you do with the stove top one. This pressure cooker is a "set it and forget it" machine.
Loose meat sandwiches for dinner last night from a tough London Broil cut? - Fantastic!
Soup? - Easy, fast and tasty - not mushy.
Stews? Curries? Pulled pork? - Done them all. Fast, easy and tasty. Beef stew was 20 minutes after reaching pressure and home made mashed potatoes was a breeze to make. The potatoes did not disintegrate and the consistency and texture was perfect.
I don't use the browning feature because I have larger cooking surface with the stove pans and can do larger batches that way.
*** Instruction booklet: The only good thing here are the cooking charts, the recipes are okay as a general idea, but if you are a good cook, you will quickly adapt everything to suit your style of cooking and flavors you like, including the times based on the cut of meats and vegetables without thinking much about it.
The three items below is what got this review 4 stars instead of 5.
*** Cleaning: The interior pot is a breeze to clean. The lid I have problems with because the inner plate seems capable of bending out of shape if not handled carefully - it is thin aluminum - I noticed that rust stain is forming where the screw is located.
*** Gasket retains the odors of the previous meal even though I have washed it with baking soda and Dawn. Even airing it out for several hours, does not help the matter.
I have contacted Cuisinart requesting a replacement for the insert plate and will update on how they respond.
*** The Pressure Dot - It is a barely visible indent next to the pressure label and I think it should have been clearly visible in bright red or Neon green - anything - to help those who are visually challenged. Hopefully Cuisinart is reading these reviews and will take note on their next model release?
Today I purchased another one as a Christmas gift and hope they won't have the problem with the rust issue or smelly gasket. I will warn them about this and if the problem is still there, I expect they'll return to Amazon and get a different one.
Update: Their customer service sent me replacement parts at no cost to me, so I am pleased with Cuisinart's service. The lady said I should soak the gasket in baking soda, but it does not work. The silicon continues to retain whatever fragrance the previous meal had.
In spite of these minor issues, I have used this thing to death. It is one of my favorite kitchen tools.
11/29/2012 - I have been using this pressure cooker several times a week since purchasing it. I have treated myself to the stainless steel inner pot to replace the non-stick pot.
I did something really stupid: While I took care to use only silicone or nylon utensils, I got into the habit of storing the cord and pressure knob inside the cooker when storing. There are some fine scratches on the inner pot and I know it was from the metal parts bouncing around. I have no intention of changing my habit, since I won't lose the parts this way. Replacing the inner pot was a no brainer to continue storing things this way and not having to worry about non-stick coating issues.
I have changed my rating to 5 stars because this cooker has met every challenge that was thrown at it since I bought it and it is still going strong.
The unit is simple to use, has high and low pressure settings, along with brown, saute, simmer, and warm. You set the menu, and the time, and it does the rest. Made many soups with this, meat chilies, etc. Ham soup? Out of this world. Pea soup. To die for. Want mashed potatoes? Three minutes on low pressure cooking, and then drain and mash. Whenever we have a holiday dinner, the leftovers from the main course (ham, turkey, chicken) goes into this pressure cooker along with the vegetables, and the next day we have out of this world soup.
We even will put our pork chops in it, pressure cook them, then grill them, and they fall apart with your fork. People think I am a great cook because of this thing.
It is durable and dependable. Easy washed. Takes up very little counter space.
The only annoyance is that sometimes the pressure seal does not take hold like it should, so we have to tap the unit near the pressure ball to get it to seal. You know this when pressure builds up and you can hear it whistle. Does not happen all that often, but it does happen. No big thing.
It is very easy to clean, from the nonstick pan to the seals to the lid. Takes less than a couple of minutes for everything.
My wife loves this device. We only did sporadic pressure cooking before, but now at least 70% or more of our meals are pressured cooked in some way or another. Pressure cook in the morning, put in a slow cooker, and your dinner is done. 4th of July is going to be a blast. I am going to prepare ribs, pork chops, beans, pulled pork, brats, etc in the morning, put into my slow cookers, and then have a great party and watch the fireworks with the rest of the block. Serve yourself. Have a brewsky, and let the pressure cooker do most of the work. I only wish I had two more of them, which I will do in the future. That way I can prepare one food, put it in, and while it is being prepared, fix the next, and then the next.
We threw out the aluminum pressure cooker that is not electric and was terrible to clean up and maintain. This one is a breeze.
Oh, the meals it prepares is enough for 6 grown adults, but not any more. I do wish they made this in a 15 or 20 quart. I love to make big batches and then freeze them for the future. For instance, the green chili (chili verde with pork) I make in gallons size and then freeze smaller portions so that we can have it for the next 2-3 months. Yes, all of my pork for the green chili is done in this pressure cooker.
