I have really enjoyed using my Presto 8-Quart Cooker/Canner. I have been interested in learning how to use one for a lot of years, but was unsure of how difficult it would be to get good results. I grew up during the 1960's and 1970's and the only person I knew that still used one was my grandmother, and she always made excellent meals with her old jiggle-top cooker. This Presto cooker is a much easier model to use than that old one and I'm completely satisfied with how quickly and completely it cooks. Meats, vegatables, rice and beans all have that slow-cooked flavor in a fraction of the time. It's even faster than my micro-wave!Presto 01370 8-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker/Canner

My son asked for a pressure cooker for Christmas last year, and after a lot of research, this is the one I bought. I highly recommend this item! My son uses it at least 4 times a week, and loves it! I also bought him a rice cooker and returned it as he says he doesn't need any other cooking device because this does it all!

I bought my Presto 1370 about a year ago when I started cooking for my cat and was trying to cut down on the time involved to prepare his stew. Now, I use it two or three times a week for all kinds of food - even pasta. It has become an essential part of my kitchen routine and will for you, too! This ain't your grandmother's accident-waiting-to-happen pressure cooker. This model is super easy to use. The lid locks firmly in place with a click, so you know when it is properly seated. It has plenty of redundant safety features. It is well made - you'll know you have a solid, safe cooker when you lift it. It's good quality steel - nothing sticks to the bottom. The Presto 1370 comes with good, easy recipes to get you started, but I highly recommend you explore Lorna Sass' fabulous pressure-cooker cookbooks Pressure Perfect: Two Hour Taste in Twenty Minutes Using Your Pressure Cooker Great Vegetarian Cooking Under Pressure to quickly expand your choices. Some of my favorite recipes are chili, brisket in beer and mustard gravy with smashed garlic potatoes, pozole (pork & hominy stew), beans bourguignon, vegetarian picadillo (a Cuban dish) and so much more. Combine pressure-cooked beans with vegetarian slow cooking Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker: 200 Recipes for Healthy and Hearty One-Pot Meals That Are Ready When You Are, and your meals will be ready faster and easier.

Presto's 8 qt stainless pressure cooker is awesome; it's quiet, effective, and easy to clean. Its safety features do not interfere with regular use in any way. The short handles/grips are better than the short-grip + long-handle combination used on some models. This Presto just makes sense. It is my third one and is the best by far. Though I only have experience with Presto, I cannot imagine another cooker being worth either the savings or the extra expense. If you only want to own one pressure cooker, don't get the smaller sizes. When you want to do a big stew, chicken or roast you won't have room. A small secondary pressure cooker for extra vegetables etc. might be useful, but not as your primary cooker. Hey Presto, A double-decker basket would be nice for separating certain foods. How about it? *Never* buy the aluminum pressure cookers, they save you money but are forever spreading aluminum about when you clean them. Stainless steel rocks(heh heh). As always, never risk letting a cooker run dry while cooking under pressure.
