I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THIS PRESSURE COOKER. I HAD NEVER USED A PRESSURE COOKER BEFORE, AND ONCE I LEARNED HOW TO USE IT, I HAVED TO SAY I AM SO PLEASED. I HAVE MADE BEAN SOUP, BEEF STEW, AND MY NEXT ITEM TO PRESSURE COOK WILL BE A POT ROAST. IT IS WORTH EVERY DIME, IT IS WELL CONSTRUCTED, A GOOD WEIGHT AND I MIGHT ADD IT IS MADE IN GERMANY, (NOT IN CHINA) AND THE GENTLEMAN I SPOKE WITH OVER THE PHONE FROM THIS WEBSITE WAS MOST INFORMATIVE ABOUT THE PRODUCT. I HAD DONE A ALOT OF RESEARCH ON LINE AS WELL AS OFF LINE AND LOOKED AT DIFFERENT MODELS. SOME WERE A LESS EXSPENSIVE, BUT BASED ON THE INFO I RECEIVED FROM THIS GENTLEMAN, AND THE FACT THAT AMERICAS TEST KITCHEN, RATED THIS THE NUMBER ONE PRESSURE COOKER, I DECIDEDE TO TAKE THE PLUNGE.......................AND IM SURE HAPPY THAT I DID. WORTH EVERY DIME. I INTEND TO PURCHASE A PRESSURE SKILLET IN THE FUTURE.

I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THIS PRODUCT. NEVER HAD USED A PRESSURE COOKER BEFORE. ONCE I GOT THE HANG OF HOW TO USE IT, IM JUST THRILLED. I HAVE MADE BEEF STEW, BEAN SOUP, AND AM LOOKING FORWARD TO DOING A CHUCK ROAST. MONEY VERY WELL SPENT. AM VERY HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE. I SPOKE WITH THE GENTLEMAN AT THE TOLL FREE NUMBER AND HE WAS VERY INFROMATIVE ABOUT THE PRODUCT AND HE SAID ........" I THINK YOU WILL BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE PRODUCT" AND HE WAS RIGHT.
