Prestige Deluxe Alpha Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker, 2 Liters/2.11 Quarts

Smaller pressure cookers like this 2L take less time & energy to come up to pressure. I really like the Pressure Indicator as it lets me know what's going on inside the pressure cooker without a pressure gauge.Using a NuWave PIC induction cooktop I have developed recipes where I can easily measure out my ingredients, set the cooktop program and it cooks consistently and (almost...) unattended (it's best to not leave a cooking appliance unattended in case something goes wrong.) It works great for cooking rolled oats, regular or thick. Of course I use it for many other recipes, such as rice, soups, etc.This design is intended to release pressure in bursts, sometimes referred to as whistles. There are recipes developed that call for cooking according to the number of whistles - once the cooker has 'whistled' the requisite number of times, it's done cooking. It's a simple method that doesn't have to take into account how long it takes to get up to pressure, no matter what size cooker or amount of food is being cooked.I've only recently had to replace the metallic safety plug. That needed replacing only because I was using the pressure cooker outside the manufacturer's recommendations. The replacement was affordable and readily available. At some point I might have to look for a replacement gasket but after thousands of uses the original is still holding up.This isn’t your typical cooking pot and requires some attention. Understand how cooktop pressure cookers work. Keep the safety features in good working order and keep the pressure regulator clean of debris. Take care of this cooking appliance and it’ll last a long time. Recommended.I hope you find this helpful.

Good product

Disappointed with the quality. We’ve always trusted Prestige for durable cookers, but this one failed in under 2 months. The lid’s weld broke, handle came off, and the screw is too short to fix ourselves. Prestige doesn’t sell replacement lids, just the gasket. so the whole cooker is now useless. Not worth it.

I pressure-cooked potato, sweet potato, many hard vegetables and beans and all came out well.I also used the bottom portion as pan for cooking sooji rava upma and few other things and they all came out well.Rice cooking seems to be a minor issue. It is possible to cook max only 200 grams or one 8 OZ cup rice max in this cooker. Steam bursting whistle is not happening while cooking quarter or one-third or half a cup raw rice. So I keep watching time and rice is fully pressure cooked in 6 minutes (for half-a-cup raw rice), whether bursting whistle happening or not.

Easy to make food in small quantities. Easy to operate. Good price. Good quality.

Mala mala se tarda muchísimo cualquier cosa primero se quema.

functional product, woeks nice. Unfortunately rubber gasket either burnt during cooking or somehow deformed on third use of device. Had to order new gasket. Possible design issues.

Muy buena y de fácil uso. Érica bueno introducir medidas de agua para ponerle.
