Presto 01282 8-Quart Aluminum Pressure Cooker

Very nice product and does its job seamlessly. 8 Quarts is quite big enough to use it for family of 5 to 6. Value for money. Easy to assemble.

Locks tight, and cook time is fast. The pressure valve is heavy and stays in place, functioning as it should.

I purchased this 6-quart pressure cooker, and it has quickly become a staple in my kitchen. The size is perfect for cooking meals for my family of four, and it’s versatile enough to handle everything from soups and stews to rice and even tougher cuts of meat.What I love most is how fast it cooks. It does the job well. The build quality is solid and durable. The locking mechanism is secure , so I feel confident using it.Overall, I highly recommend this pressure cooker to anyone looking to make home-cooked meals quickly and easily. It's a fantastic value for the price.

Excellent and easy pressure cooker.

It's a pressure cooker, easy to use great results, just big enough for a chicken fits in my cabinets

I did a dumb thing with my old Presto. I was making a pot roast & somehow I got the cover misaligned with the pot. It was stuck - could not get it off or on correctly. I tried all the stuff that I could think of to dislodge it and I “broke my pick” trying to fix it, and decided to call Presto for help. The lady had no new clues either. Everything she suggested, I had tried already. Sadly I dumped the whole ready to cook pot roast & all the ingredients into the trash along with the Presto.Now I went on a search for a new pressure cooker. Costco had one of those “name brand, on TV” electric, do it all, pressure cookers for sale. I decided to try it. I did not even take it out of the box after reading the instruction manual. There are so any cautions & warnings with using it that I really did not feel comfortable to use it.Back to presto on Amazon. I found the same product that I had & just could not wait 2 days for it to arrive to make another pot roast. That meal was great.Yes, it doesn’t have all that fancy settings stuff and “press it & forget it” - but they just do not get same results as the Presto - is just not as good. I have also tried making some other meals that I have not tried before. They were easy to make and tasty & I wondered why I did not try this before.This size pot is perfect for doing a large hunk of meat for pot roasts & plenty of room for chicken, pork, or other dishes. I take JUST THE pot and rinse it out & I put it into the dishwasher. Perfectly cleaned. DO NOT put the lid into the dishwasher even if you take the gasket off. There still is a rubber plug in the lid that will dry out & make the pressure cooker a possible hazard. Just take the gasket off and clean the lid by hand - it is very easy & takes no time.I now am very carefully putting the lid on making sure it is all lined up & the top and pot are perfectly engaged. I know this one will last along time.

This is very easy to use and works wonderful, putting the handles on was no problem at all. I did buy a different Presto pressure cooker the same days as I did this one. You never know when you might need to cook more than one things at a time. Both work wonderful this doesn't have the release that the other one I bought does but I don't feel it needs to since I have the other one.Everything was evenly cooked with lots of liquid still in the pot when opening. It did not take long for the pressure to build up or come down once you take it off the burner. It is wonderful quality that will be used for years to come passing them down to my children and if they are like my caners to my grandchildren.I was looking at the electric ones at the same time I was this one and felt I would give this one a try, I won't be buying a electric one. I have some Presto caners that are 20 years old still good as new. Presto in my book is one of the highest quality products you can buy, they last long and you get lots of use out of them. I use this every week, sometimes a few times a week and have no problem at all. The price is a steal you won't go wrong if you pick this up you will be as delighted as I am I am sure.

Perfect cook faster well the way you like
