Overview
Not an electric multicooker, the Duromatic is a stovetop pressure cooker with a mechanical knob and a locking lid. A Superthermic aluminum sandwich base spreads heat across a stainless steel body.
The stainless steel body and sandwich base heat evenly, and the safety system offers several routes for steam release. Markings inside the pot help with filling. The limitation is manual operation: pressure is managed on the burner rather than by a program.
Who it's for
Singles, couples and small families who cook meats, stews and grains on gas, electric or induction. Buyers who prefer set-and-forget electric presets should choose a different style of cooker.
Pros and cons
- Works on induction and all stovetops
- 18/10 stainless steel body
- Locking lid with several steam release routes
- Internal capacity markings
- Manual pressure management
- Mechanical controls, no presets
Performance notes
Sealed pressure raises the boiling point, so food cooks faster than in an open pot. The aluminum sandwich base spreads heat across the bottom, and the stainless steel body resists staining. The lid lock and steam release routes manage pressure safely, but the burner has to be adjusted by hand.
