| I’ve owned 3 pressure cookers over the years, and all of them suffered from locking mechanisms that wouldn’t actuate and let steam blast through until you shook the pots or pounded them with spoons to get them to actuate. But this cooker has a responsive mechanism that vents the air out and then actuates reliably as soon as the pressure begins to build up.
Beyond that, it’s well-built, with a thick bottom to distribute heat and resist heat distortion. I expect this cooker to last longer than I will.
If you’re uncertain about whether you should own a pressure cooker, here’s my opinion: pressure cooking is the best way to cook vegetables, including potatoes, and the best way to cook rice, beans, or rice-and-beans. It’s good for cooking hamburger for meat sauce, because there’s no smoke and the grease drips into the cooker where it’s easy to clean as long as the cooker is warm. There are some cool things you can do with chicken and it’s an easy way to make puddings. I prefer the presto 6 quart pressure cooker for heating leftovers because they come out as if they’re freshly cooked instead of dry and unevenly heated like you get from microwaves.
