Overview
Not a plug-in appliance, this is a stovetop pressure cooker with an outer lid and a manual hand control. It is made of aluminum and ships with a special rack plus instruction and recipe booklets.
The light aluminum body heats quickly and is easy to lift, and the included rack lets more than one food cook at once. The listing gives no pressure settings or cooktop compatibility.
Who it's for
Home cooks making stews, beans and tougher cuts of meat on a conventional stove. People with induction cooktops, or who want programmable settings, should look at other cookers.
Pros and cons
- Light aluminum body
- Special rack included
- Instruction and recipe booklets
- Six quart size
- Cooktop compatibility not listed
- Pressure settings not given
- Aluminum can darken with some foods
Performance notes
Sealing the lid traps steam so the temperature inside rises above boiling, which shortens cooking time for tough meat and dried beans. A thin aluminum body heats fast but needs care with heat level to avoid scorching.
