Client Reviews

I had a Kuhn Rikon and still have a Presto pressure cooker. I got rid of the Kuhn Rikon. I adore the Fagor Duo. The Kuhn Rikon style is a genuine discomfort if you have an electric stove. It is in all probability nearly acceptable if you have a gas stove. The Fagor models perform equally nicely on either variety stove. Also, along the exact same lines, the Fagor and the Presto styles are much additional forgiving. You greater strategy on watching a Kuhn Rikon particularly closely -- particularly on an electric stove -- but also on a gas range. It can get to an more than pressure scenario readily. Granted you will likely just blow out element of your gasket (the safety measure) if you get distracted. Who requirements that? You much better have an eagle eye and rapidly reactions to sustain a reasonably continuous pressure inside your cooker with an electric stove.
You do shed some steam with a Fagor even though typically significantly much less than with a Presto model. (You lose almost no vapor with a Kuhn Rikon -- that is about their only enormous selling point in my book.) The Fagor model makes use of a compressed spring to regulate pressure. The Presto utilizes a weight on best of a vent pipe -- this combination is known as a jiggler valve -- to regulate pressure. To regulate pressure with a Kuhn Rikon you basically watch a rising spring loaded pressure indicator and adjust the heat as required. Gas heat is alot more easily adjustable than electric. You have to either hope for the very best as you crank the heat up and down with an electric stove or play hop scotch amongst a also hot and a as well cold burner. On the Fagor Duo there are two spring compression settings. You can cook at 8 psig or 15 psig. 15 psig is the normal setting used for most pressure cooking. For delicate foods, like fish, or if you are in no certain rush the 8 psig setting will come in handy.
Bottom line is I like the Fagor the greatest of the three pressure cookers I discussed, next I like the Presto. The Kuhn Rikon is built like a tank and it is an intriguing design. I just don't like it as effectively as the Fagor's and I am a each a mechanical engineer and I cook for a hobby. I'd like to assume my opinion is an informed 1.

We bought this cooker based on the recommendation of a Cooks Illustrated critique, and we have not been disappointed at all! The 10qt capacity is just what we have to have for enormous soups, and the 2-level pressure program delivers great flexibility in terms of cooking occasions and tenderness. We produced a fabulous, tender and juicy braised short rib dish in much less than two hours from begin to table- not a bad deal!
2008 Update: We nevertheless use this cooker and are nevertheless fairly happy with it! Just don't overfill or you will be selecting herbs out of the pressure spout :-) I have also posted a critique on TrustedOnes.com (http://www.trustedones.com/listing/view/bbSzZgRY8r3yXhaocbDfzs)
