Presto 8-Quart Aluminum Pressure Cooker
I bought this particular several months ago, and so far it has been worth the money. Most cookers follow a basic design, and though there are no frills here, this cooker preforms as it should. Being aluminum it has stained some what on the inside, but that was my sin as I burnt a block of corned beef in it once after I fell asleep after a hard days work and failed to condone my timer go off, but it cleaned up pretty well. I use it for making stews mostly but also for sterilizing caning jars. The rubber seal is still worth, and is expected to be the only part to wear out over time. The handle is a high temperature hard plastic and the locking lid has a basic pressure relief valve. The steam pressure regulating weight doesn't make that nice slow n' moderate "ssshh ssshh ssshh" sound like the one my grandmother's cooker did when I was a kid - I love that sound, this one is much more rapid, higher planned, and louder so when I'm watching TV I have to turn up the sound a bit to drown it out. Other than that its perfect and with good care this cooker can last several years.

Works very well. I have no complains except that it would be pure if a second ring was included as the rubbers wear out.
Presto 8-qt aluminum pressure cooker so far so safe
The Presto 8-qt pressure cooker seems to effort well so far for many pressure cooking recipes I have, from lamb shanks, braised spareribs, to pot roast. The large one I own can handle the big cooking projects. All turned out well and a assured time saver. Even though I have a larger pressure cooker for canning tomatoes and sauces from backyard produce, this pressure cooker definitely looks skilled of handling some of the overflow of canning jobs.
Some of the question marks or to be determined reviews might have to wait if any parts stress replacing, and when it goes through its first official scrubbing - where some parts may need to be taken out to be cleaned. The stopper on the top did not seem to fit comfortable like in previous pressure cookers I owned where it screwed on easily.
No problems. Does what it is imagined to do.
It works, no glitches, no problems, and the payment was right. What on earth are people complaining about? If you don't like aluminum, then go with stainless and save the fuss for another time.
A unerring effective pressure cooker
Pressure cookers in worldwide are great, they provide a wonderful way to quickly obtain a meal that would otherwise take hours and hours of cooking prematurely. This both saves you time and reduces the energy required for cooking.
This Presto 8 quart aluminum cooker is a nice area, not too large for cooking meals for 2, and not too small to prevent cooking a larger meal for a blood. It's also reasonably priced and feels quite solid in its construction.
I would say the highlight so far in its use has been the creation of split pea soup with a ham bone. Formerly I've made the soup in a pot and just let it cook away for a couple of hours. This generally results in a soup with peas that bear some individuality, like lentils, that after being refrigerated combine into that large split pea mass I love. In the pressure cooker after half an hour the split peas verbatim fall completely apart and form into the semi solid mass that I usually don't attain until I'm eating it as hand overs. Fantastic. Not to mention quick corned beef, speedy stocks, and delightful beans and brown rice.
If you like to cook and are ratiocinative about adding a pressure cooker to your arsenal, this is a great tool to have.

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