Overpriced, Dangerous, Lousy Customer Service. April 22, 2008
1 out of 5 found this review helpful

This was given to me as a gift, and it jammed the 3rd time I used it. Had to whack it open with a wrench.

Tried to return it and ended up on the phone with the US distributor who was insulting and basically said I did not know how to use it.

I am a VERY experienced cook.

Threw it in the trash and bought I Presto that I am MUCH happier with.

SINGLE PERSON'S DELIGHT ! April 15, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I bought the duo about a year ago, and remain delighted with the choice.

I've often walked in the door from work, gone straight to the kitchen and started dinner in one of the pots. As it reached the correct pressure, I'd run in to change clothes, and dinner was then ready in time for the evening news ! AND, most importantly, soups and stews (my favorite winter fare) taste as if they've been simmering all day.

As an experiment, I took a FROZEN chicken quarter, added some water, wine, some "rustic cut" (okay, okay, I tend to randomly hack up 'taters and carrots and onions) veggies and let 'er rip for 15 minutes or so... after releasing the pressure, I added the fresh herbs from the poultry blend pack at the Giant, and incredibly had a real sit-down non-junk food meal in well under an hour. YES, you can eat well even if you've forgotten to take something out of the freezer ! (It does add to the flavor however, to be able to brown a defrosted piece of meat before pressure cooking...)

I routinely use the larger pot for larger cuts of meat and poultry, always ensuring to use some bone-in variety and several cups of liquid so that I'll have two meals - the original one, and the home-made stock leftover.

Despite the cost, one of the best kitchen investments I've ever made. Am considering giving this as a gift for a wedding.

Too good April 7, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I know this is an expensive pressure cooker. And you're hesitating, wondering if it's worth it, especially given that there are very good alternatives that are cheaper - i.e. the Presto, etc. That said, if you use your pressure cooker infrequently - i.e. not that often, but like to have one around for the occasional roast, etc. go with the cheaper alternatives - no shame, they work perfectly. But if you use your pressure cooker a lot - couple times a week, this is the way to go. It's almost too good. Literally, the times and amounts of water that you are used to using - cut those in half. And the anxious watching of the jingly thing on top of the pressure cooker - forget it. You close the hatch and its like a streamlined high performance machine - i know it sounds hoaky, but it really is. Super quiet, and you are literally going to have to put your burner on super low (a plus if you're paying for gas or electric), because this thing is so airtight and self contained. It works so quickly and efficiently that it is actually practical to come home from work and cook something like a roast. And bear in mind that not only does it cook fast but it achieves pressure superfast - like a few minutes. So is it worth it - yes. But only if you're a real pressure cooker user. If you're not, I truly believe it would mess with your mind and confuse you with how fast it cooks your stuff.

Best Decision I Made for This Previously Scary Cooking February 9, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This is precision and extremely gratifying cooking. Forget being afraid of pressure cookers. Besides being an elegant piece, it is safe and the food ( kiss ). I joined Yahoo's pressure cooker group and learned a lot. But it's common sense that a condensed, confined good combination of food locked in pressure is going to emit a wonderful taste. I cannot believe I waited to try it. Now I play games with it. I used to cook even frozen veggies in water: duh. Now add beans to cooker, add seasoning, little water ( but enough ), seasonings, cream of mushroom soup, ff onions and parmesean. Bring to 2nd red line for 7-8 minutes, and let pressure come off. We are not talking normal frozen green beans here folks.
Every meat peals off. Add Marsala. Add sherry.
But I must say the Kuhn Rikon flipped me. Get one

Our Favorite Cookware January 28, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

We have three Kuhn Rikon pressure cookers that we use almost every time we cook - this is the main cookware we use. It's fast, easy, and it saves energy because it takes less time to cook. And the food's great - I like eating at home better than any restaurant.
