Kuhn Rikon Pressure Cooker Duromatic Inox 6L/22cm Food Steamer with Side Grips. Multi Cooker Hotpot with Auto Lock Lid. Stainless Steel Pot. Instant Cook Pot – 10 Year Kuhn Rikon Cookware Guarantee

I bought this to replace an aluminium pressure cooker of the same size. Now, it's not a wide 8 litre, but a tall 8 litre. It also doesn't come with basket/seperators so you will have to purchase those seperately. Considering the price of the item I found this a bit disappointing. There are several differences between my old pressure cooker and this one. Firstly, it's so quiet. I mean, really quiet. Knowing which pressure level you are at is easy, thanks to markings on the valve - no more 'is this spinning at the right rate' etc. When I read the instruction booklet, I thought it was wrong honestly. I thought, how can I possibly cook food with so little water. So, I used the amounts my old pressure cooker called for. Mistake - it's surprising how little water escapes with this cooker. This cooker is also very economical on the fuel. I have a gas cooker and for most things it will maintain high pressure at just above the lowest setting of a normal ring on my cooker. To hit the lower pressure setting I use the small ring instead. To give an idea of cooking speed, once up to pressure, it takes four minutes for cut potatoes to be ready to mash. Casserole beef is done in around 20 - 25 minutes, so very speedy. I use water hot out of the kettle to add to the cooker to speed it up getting to pressure. One difference I did notice with this cooker is it doesn't lock into place as I'm used to. If you push it around all the way, the handles don't align. It's in the correct position with the handles aligned - just something to be aware of for those of us who are used to a locking system. All in all, if you can swallow the cost, I would heartily recommend this cooker for beginners and veterans to pressure cooking alike. It's well made, non scary, economical to run and hopefully will provide many years of faithful service, and the way fuel prices are rising, it will probably pay for itself in the first couple of months anyway :P

We've had several other leading brands of pressure cookers over a 30 year period and this one performs the best by far. Very quick and extremely quite compared to others. Works well on our induction hob. It's stainless steal and cleans beautifully. We would recommend this to anyone and would consider buying this as a gift for family and friends. It is more expensive than other brands but you get what you pay for and we feel it's worth the extra cost.

Superb quality. Excellent Design. - Very quiet PC. - Handles are usable even after extended cooking. - Performs very well with even heat distribution. - Efficient. Very little gas escapes. - Requires less attention than other pressure cookers. - Gas release mechanism is quick and easy. - All spare parts available on Amazon. Although unsure if Kuhn Rikon will supply the parts if your PC is still under warranty. Feels built to last. Most likely the best PC on the market.

I LOVE my new kuhn rikon pressure cooker, looks sleek, beautiful and makes my kitchen look like a professionals. Made some amazing beef and lamb dishes which were oh so tender and this really feels safe. I have used instant pot before and they are hard to clean and bulky. I prefer using this as you have the safety feature and can put it away after. However, I've noticed the base is not so clean after scrubbing with a green sponge, apparently cannot use metal scourer so what do I do to clean the base? I'm kinda disappointed the base isn't just stainless steel that you can use a scourer with....that part was a little misleading. However would still recommend if you can find out how to clean the base!

I bought this after being introduced to the Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker at a cooking class. It was a little tricky to get the hang of using at first but there is a great help line for Kuhn Rikon and they talked me through how to use it. At first I was using a heat diffuser, as advised by the cooking school but this meant it took longer to build pressure and as long as you use it on an appropriate sized ring on the gas hob, there should be no discolouration of the sides. It has been easy to clean. The pot itself is very solid and substantial and I can also use it for other things - I bought a clear glass lid for that purpose. Highly recommended - have used it to great effect to make a risotto in twelve minutes without the need to keep stirring; to make a soup or stock in a fifth of the time it would usually take and so on.

Really great pot. Very large size for home use but not heavy at all. Strong quality product that feels safe to use. Super quiet to use and so little heat needed once to temperature. Fixed all the issues mentioned in past reviews. Made some excellent meals and highly recommend.

I am new to pressure cookers, but I figured that once I bought one, I would have it for many years to come, so I decided to go for a good one. And this is a good one. I've made a few meals now and it does a very good job for recipes that normally take a long cooking time such as stews and curries. You need to add some of your ingredients in a slightly different order, such as adding thickening agent at the end of the cook, You also absolutely can't 'look in' to see how your recipe is going. But after reading a few recipes in a pressure cooker recipe book that I got at the same time, you get the idea of how you do things. I also saw some YouTube videos which gave me a steer of how you go about cooking with it. I am happy with my purchase and, although I am not using it a often as I thought I would be using it, when I do need it, I am glad I have it at hand. It's a good pressure cooker.

I bought this mainly for canning and pickling and it works perfectly. I'm thinking I would like vegetable baskets to make more flexible use of tge pressure cooker.

Super Schnellkochtopf, einfache Handhabung.

Dopo aver utilizzato per anni WMF Pro e Lagostina Tower ho voluto acquistare questo prodotto (versione 6L diametro 22 cm con manici corti) di cui avevo visto ottime recensioni. La consegna è stata velocissima con l'involucro originale in perfette condizioni. Effettivamente la pentola è costruita molto bene con materiali di ottima qualità e con elementi valvola estremamente semplici totalmente costruiti in metallo; quest'ultimo aspetto è stato decisivo nell'acquisto considerato che il gruppo valvola della Khun Rikon non è cambiato dal 1980 e quindi oltre che stracollaudato è sempre disponibile come ricambio contrariamente ai gruppi valvola della WMF e della Lagostina che sono composti da più parti di cui alcune in plastica che usurandosi, col tempo, portano alla rottura della valvola stessa che poi non è possibile sostituire perché i ricambi non sono più disponibili . Dopo averla utilizzata circa una decina di volte devo dire che è molto silenziosa, velocissima ad entrare in pressione e a portare a compimento la cottura utilizzando pochissima acqua. L'unica cosa negativa è il libretto di istruzioni che è veramente minimalista e che per quanto riguarda l'indicazione dei tempi di cottura è, per alcuni cibi, non molto preciso. Complessivamente anche tenendo conto del costo consiglio caldamente questo prodotto. AGGIORNAMENTO. Dopo 2 mesi di intenso utilizzo, confermo la recensione. In definitiva una eccellente pentola a pressione. Cucina con pochissima acqua, rimane in pressione col fuoco al minimo e molto rapida nella cottura.

La pentola a pressione è veramente ben costruita, materiali e finiture molto curate, da subito si ha l'impressione di aver acquistato un pezzo di qualità svizzera. E' da qualche mese che la uso costantemente. Facilità d'utilizzo: molto facile si deve appoggiare il coperchio facendo coincidere le lamelle del bordo della pentola con le sedi del coperchio. Ruotare il coperchio di pochi gradi per fare coincidere i manici e il gioco è fatto si ottiene una chiusura ermetica e sicura. L'indicatore di pressione è un piroetto che dal centro del coperchio si alza e indica con una o due tacche rosse la pressione raggiunta. Impossibile confondersi. Design: molto pratico, senza il consueto lungo manico delle vecchie pentole a pressione l'ingombro nell'armadio è molto ridotto, inoltre è possibile poggiare il coperchio rovesciato con la punta in giù all'interno della pentola per guadagnare spazio in altezza. Cottura: molto rapida, inoltre il manuale a corredo spiega molto bene i tempi di cottura per i differenti alimenti. Il fondo della pentola distribuisce molto bene il calore. Pulizia: molto facile da pulire, il coperchio è completamente smontabile e tutti i recessi sono raggiungibili con una comune spugnetta. In lavastoviglie viene lucida e brillante come nuova anche dopo aver cotto arrosti impegnativi. In conclusione suggerisco caldamente questa pentola a pressione adatta sia ad una coppia che a una famiglia di 4 persone, la mia impressione è che mi accompagnerà nelle mie escursioni culinarie per decenni.

Es la primera olla a presión que compramos y me informé muchísimo por internet. Leí cantidad de blogs de opiniones y consulté con otros compradores. Todas las maravillas que cuentan de ella se cumplen con creces. Es algo asombroso. Cocina realmente rápido, con muy poca agua y como resultado obtienes unas comidas que conservan un sabor mucho más natural. Lo último que cocinamos ha sido 500 gr de lentejas (con su zanahoria, patata, puerro....) en 7 min. El resultado es increíble. Muy fácil de limpiar, no se ralla, muy segura, conserva el calor de lo cocinado durante horas. Se abre y cierra con un simple click, nada compleja, se desarma fácilmente para su correcta limpieza. Cuentan con tienda oficial Kuhn Rikon en Zaragoza. Tierne garantía de 10 años. Viene con una pequeña bandeja que se deposita en el fondo de la olla o encima de aquellos alimentos que puedan soltar "hilos" y que puedan atascar la válvula. La olla viene con su manual de instrucciones y con un breve recetario para los guisos más típicos. La recomiendo 100%
