Presto 01362 6-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker

I love the deal I got on this pressure cooker. It was already on sale and had good reviews. Then I noticed they were offering a Used- Like New deal. I read it would come with the same items as a brand new one, and it did. Even the instruction book was new, it was wrapped in new packaging except for the original box which they shipped it it and looked a little beat. But the cooker itself was in pristine condition and I can't imagine it had ever been used. I love Presto and wanted Stainless and not Aluminum for cooking safety and I ended up getting what I wanted for half the price. This replaces one I loved that didn't make the move from my old house and I am thrilled to have this again. My thanks to Presto!

My favorite. Pressure your meat faster. Cook in quick time. No long cooking. Value for money. Good quality material

Now I cooked beans and the perfect time excellent product

Like the 4 quart size, unfortunately the canning implement was damaged, but this item was a return on sale. Very pleased just the same.

Love it

I bought this pressure cooker because my mother has one, and I knew its quality and durability are excellent. The pressure system works wonderfully. I chose the 4-quart size; in my opinion, it's perfect for cooking for 1 to 4 people. Overall, I think it's a very good product.

I'm glad we bought this several years ago. I'm scared of aluminum pressure cookers. My wife makes the best soups in this pressure cooker. She uses it once or twice a week. This was a good purchase because it helps us eat healthier.

I bought this pressure cooker March of 2013 and was delighted when I received it. I grew up with pressure cookers and my mother had an old Presto one. The sound of the rocker brought back many memories...but I digress. I had to put it together, not a big deal, but became concerned when I realized that the base handle, the one on the pot itself, the one the lid handle locked onto, had only one relatively small screw to hold it to the pot. I was quite surprised as I felt it should have 2 or at least a bolt anyway but decided to work with it and just be very careful. I was. I did not over tighten the screw. I never carried it, picked it up or used just the base handle in any way, I always used both pot handles. I was careful putting the lid on and locking it in place. I focused on NOT allowing the heat to get too close to the handle, all to no avail. The handle began to loosen anyway and then I realized the screws were rusting. Really? Rusty screws? Along with a steadily loosening handle? What the heck? Then I tried to tighten the screw on the base handle and the screw would not move. I'm guessing it rusted in place.In addition, the quality of the stainless steel is not so good, not so stainless. I use Bar Keeper's Friend for all my stainless steel and it always does a fabulous job keeping the stainless clean and shiny, in some cases nearly like new. Not so with this Presto pressure cooker. No matter how hard I tried, there were always stains that would not come out, on the lid and on the sides inside the pot.In all fairness it did function beautifully as a pressure cooker. I've used it a lot, cooking rice, vegetables, pot roast, beans and other things and never had a problem in that way. However, it's just not worth it to me when there are other significant design flaws.It appears to me that Presto, attempting to save money, downgraded their quality while appearing to keep this item the same. Not so. This is not worth the time it would take me to purchase another one and I will not buy from Presto again. They have lost a customer for good. Now I have to buy another pressure cooker which means I had to do research all over again. I made a selection but I tell you straight, this one is no longer worth it. Don't waste your money on this pressure cooker, pay a little more and get one that is real stainless steel and will actually last you. This is not your mother's or grandmother's Presto pressure cooker that lasted for years. Frankly, you'd be lucky to get even a year out of it.
