Presto at the top of its game
I have used Presto pressure cookers since I was a teenager and have always had one in my own household since adulthood and that has been let's just say a while. They are made of quality materials and are highly reliable when used as directed. I highly recommend the product. One last caveat: i called the company and of all things in this day and time a real live person answered the phone !! Thanks Presto.
We're happy you called and it's our pleasure to speak with you. Thanks for the review!

Presto 8 Quart Stovetop Pressure Cooker
I absolutely love the Presto 8 quart pressure cooker! It is not too big, nor too small. However, one can put lesser amounts of food or larger amounts of food in it. Just make sure to follow the instructions. I have cooked beef and pork in it so far, and they were both around 7 pounds each. After 20 minutes of cooking and letting cool, the meats were cooked done, but also to a wonderful tenderness that can't be beat from a pressure cooker!

Regret not buying this sooner.. Will buy more as gifts for friends... Great seal and safety seal indicator.. You cant miss with this one....
