Presto 6-Quart Aluminum Pressure Cooker 4.6 5 53 72
Presto 6-Quart Aluminum Pressure Cooker I always watched my grandmother use her pressure cooker and was always amazed at how it worked. Meats and vegetables always turn out very moist and tender, bursting with flavor.I finally bought my own a few days ago, and I have to say, it is one of my best purchases in a long time. The Presto pressure cooker is so easy to use, I was able to bring it home from the store, wash it then cook my grandmother's beef stew recipe and had food ready within 30 minutes! In the past, to achieve tender vegetables and meat, I had to boil the stew and lower the heat to let it simmer for over an hour, slowly cooking. With the pressure cooker, it is much faster and the contents are much more tender and flavorful.I notice that I'm the only guy who has ever written a review for a pressure cooker, but I'm doing it because I highly recommend it to any bachelor out there wanting to make a quick REAL meal.It's also very impressive to be able to cook such flavorful ridiculously tender food on your own.My future pressure cooked meals are--BBQ pulled pork- (it'll be very tender super moist fluffy pork roast which will be easy to pull and soak in BBQ sauce.-Hawaiian style shoyu chicken- fall off the bone chicken wings- BBQ ribs- pressure cooked in a rub, then soak in bbq sauce, which will just fall off the bone. 04/01/2009
Better than a microwave I have become obsessed with this pressure cooker, child a pressure cooker cooks chitterlings in 25 minutes, pig feet, neck bones and boiling meat for collard greens in 25 minutes, and another 20 minutes and bam you got the best tasting green on this side of the world. My sisters ain’t got nothing on me anymore. In the pass they have informed by that I don’t get the best out of my cooking cause I always cook in a hurry and my food don’t have time to savor, well now I can still cook in a hurry and get the favor- savor what ever you want to call it at the same time. I have a six quart one but by the end of the day I will have an 8 quart one also (Wal-Mart $39.00) , that way I can have two things cooking at once. Man all these years people have been afraid of pressure cookers, that goes to show that man fears what he doesn’t understand because the lack of knowledge there of.I know you all might think that I am crazy but when I find something that works for me I live by it and wants everyone that I know to explore the benefits thereof. 11/26/2008
AWESOME THIS IS THE BEST PRODUCT IN THE WORLDgreat size, great quality, greater price !And you can use the CHEAPIEST CUTS OF MEAT.I walked in from work, put a pork roast,some onion, celery, carrots, a little seasoning,& 2 cups of apple juice in, locked my lid,put it on the stove, went and changed,came back and turned the flame down,and in 20 minutes,(by the time I made the salad, set the table& got soft drinks), the pork roast was done,so tender & juicy !!! It's the best when youwant to serve great meals and have a little time.But read the directions ! If you've never used one, you could get hurt if you don't know what your doing, read the directions !! It's so simple & easy. 12/31/2007
Works great. I have a stainless steel one but prefer the aluminum because the stainless steel would scorch sometimes, it seemed to have a hot spot that would scorch roast or soup if I didn't stir frequently when finishing up after coming off pressure. I have a smooth top stove . 07/29/2009
