Presto 01362 6-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker

The Presto 6-quart stainless steel pressure cooker is the smart choice for healthy, flavorful meals that can be prepared quickly and easily. It cooks 3 to 10 times faster than ordinary cooking methods, even faster than a microwave for many foods. Chicken, fish, meat, and vegetables cook to perfection fast, and it helps tenderize economical cuts of meat. This pressure cooker is suitable for use on regular, smooth-top, and induction ranges, and it is dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning.

The pressure regulator maintains the proper cooking pressure automatically, ensuring consistent results. A cover lock indicator shows when there is pressure inside the cooker and prevents the cover from being removed until the pressure is safely reduced. The pressure cooker also includes a special rack for cooking several foods at once without the flavors intermixing.

Pressure cookers have experienced renewed popularity in recent years as cooks have rediscovered their speed and ability to cook healthfully. The Presto 6-quart pressure cooker is a versatile, professional-quality appliance that can be used as a conventional soup pot or for the specialized tasks that pressure cookers are known for.

With its heavy-duty lid that locks down during cooking and an inner sealing ring to keep the steam in, this pressure cooker is a reliable and safe option for weeknight dinners or any meal that needs to come together quickly. An accompanying booklet provides more than 65 recipes, ranging from basic soup stocks to stews, pot roasts, and even desserts like 5-minute custards.

Tenderizing lean cuts of beef or pork, or cooking chicken, fish, or vegetables faster than a microwave without losing moisture, the Presto pressure cooker is a valuable addition to any well-rounded set of kitchen tools. Nonabrasive cleansers and occasional use of a fine metal polish are recommended for maintaining the stainless steel exterior.

The pressure cooker measures 9 inches in diameter (17 inches including handles) and 8-1/2 inches tall (including lid), and Presto offers an extended 12-year warranty. Detailed safety instructions and a recipe booklet are also included, ensuring a successful and confident experience with this versatile kitchen appliance.
