Excellent product, great value

Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is my first pressure cooker and I love it. It is built well -- thick stainless steel, polished nicely, and the handles are placed perfectly to balance the pot if you move it. I wasn't sure how long it would take to "bleed" off the steam, but it takes about a minute or less. It is not made for canning. It's just for speed cooking food.

The instructions are excellent -- easy to read and not full of "fluff" that you have to sort through to get the message. The only thing I found that was lacking in the instructions was that there is a small, white line on the pressure release valve. After finding it, I understood the settings for the valve.

It's a great value and works fine with my Nuwave cooktop. So far, I like the vegetables cooked in a pressure cooker better than what I've experience over a lifetime of heating vegetables in a microwave. I've cooked bone-in chicken thighs, a pork loin, and a beef roast. There's no need to cut the meat with a knife. All three came out tender.

Does a great job in less time

Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is a great pot to have. I've never cooked with pressure cooker before, so I can't compare this pot with others. I just know it does a great job at cooking foods fast. I can cook meat dishes in about 25 minutes, beans (from soaked, dry beans) in 20 to 25 minutes, and soups in 15 minutes. Meats come out amazingly tender, even tougher cuts of meats. I like the two steam settings, although I've only used the high pressure setting so far. It's a sturdy, heavy pot, which might be an issue with some people when cleaning, but I don't have a problem with it. The steam value can be removed easily for cleaning, which I like. The lid locks in place, and when steam builds up inside, a pressure-sensitive mechanism pops up and locks the lid release latch to prevent the lid from being opened.

Edit (May 01, 2019): Just wanted to say after two and a half years of using this pressure cooker, it's still working flawlessly. It has saved a lot of time and energy. Haven't had any problems with it, so I'll have to say this was a worthwhile investment.

Excellent inexpensive product, manual should be clearer

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2017

Update Mon July 10, 2017: If there is one thing that I (repeating myself) like about this pressure cooker, it is that it was designed for use on an induction cooktop, which means it has a sturdy thick steel bottom that distributes heat very evenly. On a gas or electric ring you get "hot spots", but induction, which does not transmit heat but energy, is very even, and I was able to do something I had not done in a pressure cooker: pre-fry and -cook, before using the pressure cooker function. I was able to prepare chicken and onions and herbs for an Indonesian Soto Ayam in the pressure cooker, using just a splatter shield, and after preparations add broth, vegetables and water and my spice mix, close the cooker and "pressure cook" all of it together, in 10 minutes, rather than the 30 to 40 it would have previously taken. Quick soak and a scrub, and the usual frying debris and stains disappear from this well machined pan in no time (I do oil the insides and the rim with either Japanese sesame or olive oil, rubbed on manually, before cooking). Price is terrific, I paid $29.99 for this cookpot - four stars, one off on account of the "dodgy" manual. I've discovered (and this isn't a fault of the NuWave, but simply my discovery trip) that the pressure cooker recipes out on the 'net aren't all that reliable - following instructions for Basmati rice, it came out fine, but slightly overcooked. That's liked by some, but it showed me I need to "trial and error" to get it right. In the case of the rice, no three or six minutes cooking, bring it to pressure and once you have a "head of steam" turn the cooktop off, leave stand for 10 minutes, vent - my grandmother cooked rice that way, leaving the cooking pot standing after a boil, covered with a heavy cloth, for half an hour. And that gave me purrfect Basmati rice, "al dente", if I may borrow the expression - better than cooked in the regular manner, and in less than half the time (two cups unwashed Basmati, two cups well water, none of this chlorinated stuff, please, and pre-rub the cooking pot's insides liberally with Japanese sesame oil, or olive oil if you don't like that flavour, no salt, salt or flavouring should be added later, or in the sauce or soup, salt is mostly a bad habit). And pasta - it took me fourty minutes to clean the $$%&^ starch off the walls and the cooker hood, I guess I have to cover the vent when I open it, or respray the ceiling. Better, since this stuff gets in the mechanisms, don't pressure cook pasta. Or maybe I'll experiment with different pastas and cooking times. But I discovered this pressure cooker was bigger than I thought, and using the induction top I can cook twice as many dishes in an afternoon. Happy cooker!

Original Review: I'll update this as I go along, but I specifically bought this because it is not expensive and is made of stainless steel and therefore usable on an induction cooktop. Hobby cook, I don't spend that much time in the kitchen, but once I realized you can boil rice in a pressure cooker, as well as many other things, and prepare things in the pot before pressure cooking, I decided it was worth trying. So far only tested, on induction this pot heats up fast (thick steel bottom, it was designed for induction!), I should imagine if you're using rings or gas or infra-red, you may be better off with an alumin(i)um pressure cooker - aluminum conducts heat more easily, induction does not use heat conduction. But it was easy to set up, I hadn't used a pressure cooker for over 40 years, and got to pressure speedily, everything worked as advertised. The manual could do with a rewrite, though. First of all, it is written for the use of this pressure cooker with NuWave's induction cooktop, which is confusing if you don't use that, and secondly, the instructions aren't always correct (I could not believe my eyes when I walked into a large underground Wal-Mart in Beijing and saw induction cooktops and -cookers wall-to-wall, in the kitchen section). The manual wants you to check the pressure indicator, an important safety feature, for instance, but does not tell you you need to flip the lever inside the bottom of the handle before you can move that. I should imagine many buyers will just go "owell", and that can lead to damage, injury, and lawsuits. Fix that, NuWave, and I'll give you another star. Now I need to do some actual cooking, will let y'all know how I get on :)

Great little dinner-maker!

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2016

Verified Purchase

I bought this to replace one that was about 15 years old and had worn out (melted the handle so it wouldn't clip on properly). The lid clicks on and locks smoothly into place. One thing I didn't realize is that you have to push the thumb-toggle forward, or it will never pressurize, because that blocks the pressure lock. So you can still use this as a well-sealed pan if you don't necessarily want to pressurize? It does seem to come to pressure faster than my old one did, which means I can turn the temperature down earlier resulting in less burned food. Big win in my book!

To date, our favorite recipe is so quick--brown one lb ground beef, add 1 lb pasta (elbows or ziti-type work best), one jar of whatever tomato pasta sauce, and add 1 quart liquid--chicken or beef broth is great for flavor, but can be water, too; I rinse the pasta jar with some of this water to get all of the tomato goodness out; add a little extra garlic or basil of you're so inclined but not necessary. Stir and cover, bring to high pressure, and cook for 8 minutes (and I'm at high altitude, so might not take you as long), do a quick-release and stir in a couple handfuls of shredded mozzarella. I barely have time to set the table and fix a salad, and we're ready to eat, and this is one of my familty's favorite quick meals.
