Review: Just fabulous! - I used to have a Prestige Hi-dome - which was fine actually although yes it did hiss a bit - but when the link was suggested between aluminium and altzheimers, I stopped using it. I have often thought about getting a replacement but just never got round to it. However, I make stock often, and soups, and casseroles and so, because of the terribly high price of fuel, decided to get one. I hummed and hawed before buying this particular model; it was the one I wanted but was so expensive. I very luckily managed to get a bargain through desertcart Warehouse and got an 8 litre Hotel model for £135.00 If I had known how much pressure cookers have improved since my Prestige went, I would have just paid full price - £170.00 ish and got one months ago. I have used it every day since. It is a bit big, but you can cook tiny amounts in a big pressure cooker but you can't cook large amounts in a small one. It hasn't actually been put away in my pan drawers yet, it sits on the stove top, looking magnificent and shiney. I have made stocks in 30 minutes, casseroles, meatballs in sauce, soup, pot roast, soaked beans cook min 10 minutes - yes that is 10 minutes!!! I haven't done any puddings but that is because my husband is supposed to be on a diet - my eldest son is visiting next week and I will make some then. It is practically silent although it can hiss a bit whilst you are getting used to how low to turn the gas down - (as low as it will go is about right) and very little smell escapes so you don't need to run the extractor once the lid is locked on. It is really quick and easy to wash up. It's just fabulous - I am so pleased with it. The build quality is excellent - I am sure that the other ranges of cooker that Kuhn Rikon make are just as good. Nothing has stuck on the bottom, unlike my Prestige - food was always getting stuck/burnt on if I wasn't really careful - this particular range of cooker has a very thick base. You can easily make a one-pot meal in one of these - they are head and shoulders above slow cookers, which I have never liked much. The one teensy gripe is that, even though it is so expensive, it comes with a trivet but not a steam basket - it doesn't really matter as you can put other dishes in if you want to (pyrex) but I will buy a steam basket as well at some point. Buy one and use it. You won't regret it and it will save you money in the long run - and it looks fab.
Review: Virtually silent - This is my 3rd pressure cooker, prev 2 were Presto. At 8 litres/28cms it is 1/3 larger than my prev models. It is absolutely brilliant. Comes up to pressure rapidly. Leave it to point it HISSES. This is actually to just beyond a proxy 3rd pressure ring (cooker has 2 pressure ring indicators). So 17psi / 1.2bar. Turn gas to low. Pressure cooker goes silent but holds this higher pressure. Fantastic! This is the "hotel" version so no gizmos, just plain vanilla. Consider the wider 28cms model if using for jam say (wider better than higher, more surface area = less spills). That said it is wide pot. Others mention a narrower (higher) pot less easy to use. Pleased I took their advice. It Swiss, expensive, v well made. Note the silicon sealing ring (twice price my prev models) is v robust. I can't see it needing to be replaced any time soon. So maintenance should be low and running costs v low compared with my prev much more "pressure leaky models." Marmalade. 10 mins for quartered segments. Beetroot. 10/15 mins small/medium. As seal is so good it will need minimal water. If your budget allows, highly recommend. One thing, I searched for this via Google. On clicking on the offered desertcart choice I was surprised to be offered £20 (10%) off as referral.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: q: is the interior of made of stainless steel,will it work on a induction cooktop**
A: Yes. The interior is stainless. I don't know about induction as I don't use it, but I imagine it work as well as any metal pot will on induction. I use mine on a gas cooktop.

**Q: can this be used as a slow cooker (crock pot) also?**
A: Hi Michelle, This cooker can could be used as a normal stove top, pot, or crock pot (slow cooker) if it's lid is left off while cooking as this way the pot will not be pressurized. I must say I am extremely very happy with the Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker and would recommend it. Regards, Vince

**Q: Why is this 8-quart model $379 when the 8 and 1/2 quart model (also on Amazon) is $219?  A larger pot is $160 less?  Am I missing something?**
A: Both are 8 Liter pots.  The $379 pot is wider and shallower, and because the base is heavy, the larger footprint adds 3 pounds to the weight.  The "braiser's" inside bottom is waffled to make it easier to turn meat; it is perfect for braising. The wider dimension also accommodates a larger inside pan, even a 9-inch cheesecake pan.  However, if you do not need to brown, but need extra height to toss in lots of veggies for stock or broth, or to stack crème brulee cups, the narrower pot might be better (but the largest possible inside pan would be only 7 inches in diameter).

**Q: I'm interested in the 5 qt, but everything talks about it being 8 qt.  What is the dimensions of the 5 qt?**
A: I’m sorry I don’t have the 5 quart mine is the 8 quart.  I love it and using it as I type this message.  We have chickens so old hens end up in the freezer and need pressure cooked.
