 Works great July 30, 2003

Fairly robust rubber seal looks like it will last a while. Instructions suggesting use of cooking oil on seal during each use are being followed. Little water loss and low flame required to keep pressure up. Quiet. Was a MUCH better deal when I got it in May 2003 for $... . . . Shipping box was quite flimsy.

This is a simply great kitchen utensil:
It's made from stainless steel which is easy to
keep clean and which has none of the corrosion
problems that plague aluminum.
The price is right. You can pay a lot for a fancy
Swiss model-four times as much in fact and in this
case, you don't get what you pay for.
It will add a dimension to your cooking. Dishes
that used to take all day can be cooked in an hour
or two and homemade stocks and soups will return
to your table.
All of the safety problems that used to come with
pressure cookers have been solved and there's no reason
to deny you and your family all that good food.

 I would change this to 4 stars if I could February 10, 2006

This items has some strong points; it is 18/10 Stainless Steel with thick alum sandwiched in base, is was $45 with free shipping when I bought it, and it came with a glass lid so you can use it as a stainless steel stock pot or store food in fridge. However there is a weak point. This pressure cooker is limited to 11.6 PSI. It is undesirable not to hit the standard 15 PSI, cooking temp will be nearly 10 degrees less, and cooking times 2 to 3 minutes more. It this item's defense, I have not seen evidence that other brands in this price range reach 15 PSI either, which leads me to suspect they don't as this is something to brag about. I purchased two spare gaskets from an on line source that I found, a little over $20 with shipping. Five years from now, I don't know if they will be that easy to find, and these do wear out. The item came well packaged, and in perfect condition. Everything about this item is super, except that it would be much better for it to reach 15psi. Do a search on 'Miss Vickie' to learn more about pressure cookers.
Get this one... May 17, 2005

My new pressure cooker arrived yesterday. I used it last night to make a delicious soup. It's a perfect size for a family with children or anyone for that matter.
The ease of use amazed me. I would suggest getting
Great Vegetarian Cooking Under Pressure or
Cooking Under Pressure by Lorna Saas to help get the most out of it.
It's a way to prepare healthy foods in a short amount of time.
Since it comes with a glass lid also, it can be used like a regular stock pot.
If you need a pressure cooker, I feel this is the best deal out there right now. I spent hours on the internet looking and this was my choice!
If you take the time to really learn how to use a pressure cooker then the pressure will be off when it comes to the question..What's for dinner?
Have fun!
You could pay $180 for a cooker but... January 3, 2006

Why? This is a great all around pot with heavy construction, nice sandwiched bottom, and a good secure feel to the top. I used to stay out of the kitchen when my old pressure cooker was whistling away, but not anymore. I highly recommend the book Pressure Perfect to go with this pot.
