"Low Pressure Cooker" Apr 16, 2009
I recently bought the two low pressure cookers because I had bought one from HSN and wanted to order another. Guess what I got two for the price of 1 by buying them off of Amazon. This is great to make stews, and soups quickly, and you don't have to wait for the steam to stop to take off the top. You just need to turn down the heat, just wait a minute or two then take the top off to add ingredients or to check on the cooking.It's good when you need to make a lot of something and I can use two pots or just for two with the smaller one.I would highly recommend this item.
"What a great Pressure Cooker" Aug 08, 2008
These pots work great as a low pressure cooker and can be used as regular pots. The 9 qt pot can fit two whole chickens. The smaller pot is great for one pot everyday meals. The extra pressure really infuses the food with more flavor in the same amount of time. I sometimes use the smaller pot to make sauces. When you lift the lid, the flavor and smell of basil in a marinara sauce really comes through.
In general, meats take about half the time using the pressure top. I usually use it to make one pot dishes that get a lot of flavor from the pressure. I also like make a hearty soup that uses barley that cooks up beautifully and quickly using these pots. These heavy duty pans retain heat and also allow for some outstanding searing of meat if you are careful to watch the cooking process carefully. The really great part is that you can remove the lid by just popping the handles at any time while you are cooking. These pots can be used by novice cooks but really experienced cooks can really get a lot of use out of these pots.
The pots are heavy duty stainless steel and clean up with soaking and soap and water. I found just heating water with a few drops of dish soap loosens things very quickly. SOS takes up the reminder easily. You can use the pots for no pressure cooking by using the regular lid that comes with it but I use my non-stick pans when I don't need the pressure lid for two reasons: (1) these pans require more clean up than non-stick and (2) these are heavy, wide pots.
Once you get used to using these pots, you'll wonder how you did without them. The cooking time it saves, and the ease of use and wonderfully rich flavoring that can be infused into food in a short time make this a really worthwhile product at an extremely reasonable price.
