 Perfect for the busy family! September 7, 2010
Bel Air Reviewer (Maryland)
With the kids in school, my own schoolwork, and everyone's busy schedule, we honestly just don't have a lot of time to cook. Too many nights, we would look in in the refrigerator, realize that cooking anything worthwhile would take too much time, and we'd end up ordering pizza or skipping dinner altogether.
So, I decided to try using a pressure cooker. I bought the Cuisinart pressure cooker at the local store and gave it a try. It really cuts down on cooking time, and the meals taste great! A full meal such as beef stew can be cooked in as little as 15 minutes. The food is moist and tender and tastes like it was cooking all day. I can't wait to try more recipes.
This pressure cooker is not your grandma's cooker! It's much safer. It's very easy to use. Very easy to clean up. It's very solid but not too heavy to manage. The top stays locked until the pressure has been released. And once the meal is done, it can keep food warm (even unplugged) with the top on for quite a while for those people who show up late for dinner.
This is something I'd recommend to people with busy lives. I think it would also make a fantastic housewarming gift or wedding gift as well as a great gift for the holidays.
 Defective design. September 3, 2010

After seeing all of the rave reviews, I decided to buy this pressure cooker. The first one was defective and never did seal. The instructions and service line were horrendous. I figured it must be a fluke since so many people seemed to be so in love with their cooker so I sent it back and bought another one- same problem. There won't be a third time.

I bought the pressure cooker because I will be starting an Internship that has me traveling 3+ hours (to and from combined) a day. I needed something that would allow me to make meals in less time and enough that I can freeze portions for future dinners and lunches. I have done pretty good with using my hotplate, toaster oven, and microwave for the last few years. And I know how to make simple yet healthy meals. I wanted to branch out a little more and decided to research pressure cookers. I found this one to be at a moderate price and enough positive reviews. I also bought the "Cooking Under Pressure" cookbook by Lorna Sass because it seems everyone defers to her. The electric pressure cooker arrived within a week of ordering (with the free shipping selected). The instruction book was very helpful with cleaning, storage, and cooking tips. I just made my first meal (Chicken Gumbo from the Sass cookbook) and I cannot say enough about the deliciousness that came out of that pot. I love chicken and can pretty much have it at every meal. But the way that the electric pressure cooker infused flavors and made it taste so tender, goes beyond words and must be experienced firsthand. If I only made this meal, the investment in the electric pressure cooker would be well worth it. I'm looking forward to making a cheesecake next week.
Now I can cook like Mom in less than 30 percent of the time! August 27, 2010

I took years to perfect the art of making Chinese soups. There is a technique that requires browning and simmering the bones to extract the flavor and collagen from the protein. The old fashion way takes two hours or more to achieve. This wonderful pot takes only about 20-30 minutes under pressure! I had never used a pressure cooker and was very cautious after my mom had a mishap in our kitchen when I was younger. I remember seeing my mom with burn marks on her face from opening the lid on the Presto much too early. I was encouraged to see this electric cooker on the Iron Chef episode with Bobby Flay. He was able to make his stew tender and flavorful within his one hour time constraint!
Things I love about this appliance:
Easy to set and walk away with cook, simmer, saute, and warm.-I can fit in a quick workout prior to chowing down on my short ribs or stew!
Nice coated pot with a very sturdy lid that locks in and does not release unless the pressure is safe!
Quick release valve pressure feature or slow normal cool down release for the lid.
Neat and easy to clean pot.
Well constructed pot that feels sturdy and safe to contain the pressure and the heat.
I continue to experiment with this wonderful pot and I look forward to further utilize a two or three stage soup or stew. it should be much easier and faster to add the quicker cooking herbs using the quick release valve after the "base" of the soup is completed.

I'm sure the item is as advertize however when ordering there should be a correction period. It said free shipping! It also said if done in one hour and 5 seconds can be delivered on next day. I was not presented with the bill in total until order was placed. If so I would not have ordered. There needs to be a correction period and/or a clear presentation of bill and shipping before one places order.
