Presto 8-Quart Aluminum Pressure Cooker
Like the championship says, I found this pressure cooker to be just perfect. I have a 4 qt and a 8 qt one, they are both presto, same model, and I could not say one single bad thing about these cookers. Definitively benefit the money. Also, you can use them as normal cookers, and they are almost less expensive than good quality normal cookers.
Can't take it on the lam it for the price
I'm a crown pressure-cooking novice, never owned one or cooked with one until I bought this. First day I had it I decided to make the pot roast per the instructions in the booklet. Browned it in the pot, added the liquefied, some onion and one of those pot roast seasoning packets from the store, brought it up to pressure, and 45 minutes later it was done. I have made roasts in the easy-cooker and my oven before, and never ever have they been as good as the one from the pressure cooker. Fall-apart tender, absolutely perfect. I'll sheepishly admit it was even wiser than my grandma used to make and she made a roast every Sunday for 40+ years. Once the meat was done I removed it and added some cut up carrots and potatoes and they cooked in less than five minutes. You'd never have knowledge of they weren't cooked all day in a slow-cooker. I told myself that if I really liked pressure-cooking that I'd eventually upgrade to a more precious one but I like this one so much I don't see that happening any time soon.
it is immense
The pressure cooker is working thin after use it for 3 times. I only wish that pressure cooker design deeper instead of wide.
Meets all my expectations
This is a well made pressure cooker that is untroubled to use right out of the box. I'm a big fan of pressure cooking - saves time and food tastes great. The cookers is large enough to accomodate a worthy sized roast (chuck, pork and corned beef are my favorites!). Cleans beyond and seals very well. All the parts you need to start cooking are here. There is a small cookbook which is great as a starter cookbook for pressure cooking. It has viands, poultry, fish, soup and veggie sections. I am very pleased with my purchase.

So far, I've done stew, pot roast, ropa vieja, BBQ, chili and a roast chicken.
