Presto 01370 8-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker

The Presto 8-quart pressure cooker is a versatile and efficient kitchen appliance that can transform your cooking experience. Designed for healthy, flavorful meals, this pressure cooker cooks up to 3 times faster than ordinary methods, saving you time, energy, and money.

Featuring a stainless steel construction with a special tri-clad base, this pressure cooker heats up quickly and evenly, making it suitable for use on regular and smooth-top ranges. The pressure regulator maintains the proper cooking pressure automatically, ensuring your food is cooked to perfection.

One of the standout features of this pressure cooker is its quick pressure/steam release system. The cover lock indicator shows at a glance when there is pressure inside the cooker, and it prevents the cover from being opened until the pressure is safely reduced. This not only enhances safety but also allows for an effortless "quick cool" option, thanks to the pressure regulator/steam release valve.

Versatility is key with this pressure cooker. It can handle a wide range of ingredients, from chicken and fish to vegetables and economical cuts of meat. The stainless steel steaming basket allows you to cook multiple foods at once without any intermingling of flavors. The included 64-page instruction and recipe book provides a wealth of inspiration, covering everything from basic soup stocks to delectable desserts like Petite Pumpkin Custards.

Cleaning this pressure cooker is a breeze, as it is dishwasher-safe. For maintaining its pristine appearance, occasional use of a fine metal polish is recommended. The vent pipe, air vent/cover lock, and overpressure plug are all easily accessible and can be kept clean with a small brush or pipe cleaner.

Measuring 10-1/2 inches in diameter (15-1/2 inches including handles) and 8-1/2 inches tall (including the lid), this pressure cooker is a practical addition to any well-equipped kitchen. Presto backs it with an extended 12-year warranty, ensuring your investment is well-protected.

In conclusion, the Presto 8-quart pressure cooker is a smart choice for health-conscious cooks who value speed, convenience, and exceptional results. Whether you're preparing a weeknight dinner or a special occasion meal, this versatile appliance will revolutionize your cooking experience.
