MAGEFESA Star 8.4-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker, Works on All Stovetops (Induction Compatible), Safety Lock & 8 PSI Cooking

I would say this is for someone with a gas stove and wants to invest and lives in the cold north and has an interest in experimenting (at least in the beginning) and has some patience. I am not an advance cook, but I can hold my own. I use this 2X week in the winter. The seal will take some time to indent and will eventually have memory - but it will become easy to seal. In the meantime, simply use you fingernails to check & see if opposite sides of the top are equal distance from the pot and invest in taking the time up front to seal appropriately. I am old enough to refuse cheap products (when possible) and have many products from years past - including my home. This is amazing quality and will outlive me for sure. You can also easily purchase replacement products too. This product is a favorite and a part of my world, it is an important part of my kitchen life and it brings so many delicious dishes to my family! I don’t think all Americans recognize the quality because it is not an insta-pot as I see some negative reviews and also some common mistakes. Good luck.

I have purchased two of these. I uses them with oil and pressure cook chicken. They work very well.

The first times I used it, I did not tighten the knob hard enough, steam escaped and the pressure did not build up. Later on, I figured out that the knob has to be turned tight all the way, and it worked fine ever since then. It requires some force that I hope I will still have when I am 80. Other than that, I am quite happy with it.

Best bang for the buck in pressure cookers. I use their 12 quart in a commercial kitchen, and just purchased their 4 quart for home use. Straight-forward design makes for reliable operation. The ONLY downside to this simplicity is that you really need to CRANK DOWN that top lock for it to pressurize nice and tight.

Defective. After 6 times of making bone broth 3 cracks developed on the pot rim, so it won't hold pressure and leaks high-pressure steam and liquid, I'm afraid to use it because of possible rupture. Magefesa used to make a superior product, I purchased one at the Miami Beach boat show many years ago and have used more times than I can recall, always preformed well, I just needed one of a larger size. I would like to contact the seller or agent. I also purchased a 14 quart a few weeks before I ordered this 12-quart size and am very satisfied with the product.

I picked this pressure cooker because it lis like the one my mom used when I was growing up in France many years ago. I saw many meals prepared in that pressure cooker and it lasted for many many years. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles but i didn't want them anyway because most of the time they end up breaking or just unnecessary. I wanted simple, easy and safe to use. I am definitely so happy with this pressure cooker. It is so sturdy, simple and it heats the food so fast. It is just what I wanted. so thank you for this quality product, it definitely is made with quality materials and very well made.

La mejor!

The performance of the product is first rate. I pressure-fried chicken that would have impressed the Colonel. The downside is in the shipping. The first one arrived with a broken handle. Warily, I didn’t ship it back until the replacement arrived. Guess what? Another broken handle. I just removed the remaining unbroken handle and used it on the first unit. Other reviewers have also mentioned broken handles. One suggestion for users of this pressure cooker is to make sure that the lid is properly seated before using. It is very easy to lock down a misaligned lid, causing the unit to fail to come up to pressure.

My trusted 9 Litre T-Fal pressure cooker finally failed me this Fall and when I went to buy it again I was sad to notice that the new models are no longer made in France like mine had been…now they’re all made in China. So the search for a new one was on! I’ve had Lagostina before too but the only model available is for 7L, which just doesn’t work for us, being a large family of 8. I came across this brand and found the reviews were great- it’s larger than my last one and it’s made in Spain. I’ve been using this every other day since I bought it and it’s just marvellous!! The meat is so tender; I’m able to cook my largest batches of stew and soup without having to use another stock pot!! But be warned…it’s very loud. I included a video because there was none available before I bought it and the first time I used it, I thought I had missed a step somewhere. It scares the beegeezus out of my dog but he loves the contents afterwards just like the rest of us. I’m in love with this thing! It’s a great investment and worth every penny!

La compre para cocinar rápidamente y vaya que cumple con su propósito principal, una muy buena marca para productos de cocina. Es la segunda ella de esa marca con la que contamos en casa y nos encanta.

جودة عالية

We are very happy with item which we use to make soup mainly. Was very well packed and arrived in a reasonable time frame. our old unit of over 30 years is also back in use with new gasket. So can now do 2 batches at a time, Thank you Magefesa for such good production and Amazon for the marketing.

Great product and convenient size. For Ease Of Use and Consistent Results Nothing Beats a Magefesa Pressure Cooker. Would be better still, if a spare silicone gasket was supplied with pressure cooker.
