Kuhn RikonPressure Cooker Set, 4L and 6L (24cm) Duromatic Inox Food Steamers with Side Grips. Multi Cooker Hotpot with Auto Lock Lid. Stainless Steel Pot – 10 Year Kuhn Rikon Cookware Guarantee

I have to admit that I was wary of buying a pressure cooker as the last time I owned one you in the early 80's and you had to go through the petrifying process of putting a weight on top of a spout on the lid of a hissing pan, a task that was not for the faint hearted and I had to be convinced that modern pressure cookers were no longer petrifying. I'm glad that I listened to all the advice I was given as this pan is so very different from the old-style pressure cookers, no fiddling about with weight, so nothing scary at all! I am delighted with my purchase. To me this is a serious piece of kit with a substantial construction. Yes, it's expensive to buy but I hopeful that over a few years it will save me a good amount on my fuel bill and with the way things are going and the time I saved cooking the dried beans I think I might just be right, It's fair to say that I am still getting used to cooking using the pressure cooker as I only bought it very recently, but so far, I am very impressed and know that I will continue to be so. I initially found it a bit awkward to put on the lid of this pressure cooker, but I soon got used to where to site the lid before turning it into place. I bought this combination pack that has 2 different sized pans and one lid plus a trivet. The shallower pan is still a decent sized pan and I have used it to sauté onions before I added other ingredients and putting on the lid. I eat a vegetarian diet and cook a lot of pulses which I usually soak overnight before I cook them but yesterday forgot to put the beans to soak, I thought this would be an issue, but I used a method that I has seen in a book called 'Modern pressure cooking' where the beans are treated to a bit of a precook , before I cooked the beans for the dish I was making , and not only did it work a treat but was very efficient both for time and for energy used. My main reasons for buying the pressure cooker were to help cut down on fuel use as I cook with gas. This pressure can be used on both gas and electrical stovetop rings, and it can also be used on induction hobs (which is another reason for me choosing this pressure cooker as it means that I can always use it if I want at any time to take it with me to any of our family to cook a particular dish.) The advantage of having the two sizes of pressure cooker base pans is that I am able to cook easily for all my fairly large family if they visit together of for just a few of us, it makes my pressure-cooking adventure very flexible. I have found the pressure cooker and lid easy to clean, the silicone seal takes out and washes very easily, I found the cleaning of the valve a touch tricky at first but like with putting on the lid I soon got the hang of the task. My only real disappointment with this is that it did not come with a small recipe book, there are some timings to follow in the instruction booklet, but it would have been good to have a small proper book of recipes and tips included. I should add that this pressure cooker comes with a trivet, I use the trivet for cooking vegetables but for other things like dishes that need a fair amount of fluid like the dried beans, dahls, soups and casserole type dishes I don't use the trivet. I have yet to try cooking a steamed pudding or a cake in the pressure cooker but when I do, I will also use the trivet for these tasks also. I'm having great fun finding out just how versatile this pressure cooker is and hope that you who are reading this also enjoy your pressure-cooking journey also. I hope you have found this honest and rather chaotic review helpful .

Just right for a small family, would not be enough while cooking for 4 or more. Performing good so far, overcooking food though occasionally and sometimes the valve won't work properly and food get's burnt. But it is a great ''fast food'' machine and a must have item for busy people who still want to enjoy a cooked meal from time to time.

Very noisy compared to other pressure cooker

Compré el paquete de 2 ollas de 4 y 6 litros (comparten la misma tapa). El tamaño de 4 litros es ideal para la comida del diario. Me impresionó la rapidez con la que se cocinan los alimentos, se lleva aproximadamente la mitad del tiempo que el requerido en una olla de presión común. Además cuando se alcanza el nivel de presión, la lumbre debe bajarse al mínimo ahorrando también en el consumo de gas. Es muy silenciosa y su diseño sencillo en acero inoxidable hace muy fácil su limpieza. Estoy encantada con estas ollas.

Después de años con una olla rápida Magefesa que me dio varios sustos, a pesar de cambiar la goma y las válvulas de seguridad, fue un motivo por el que terminé buscando una Olla rápida que fuera muy segura, leí un montón de web blogs etc.... críticas y valoraciones de ollas rápidas, hay una observación clara en todas estas webs,blogs, al final el link te lleva a Amazon.es y que detrás de todas las reviews hay a una comisión, quizás es un motivo por el que los blogs que anuncian las marcas tradicionales, hacen un marketing por vender ollas baratas, ojo, hay algo que quizás no te cuentan, son todas Made in China con la pegatina Made in Spain, porque el empaquetado y/o ensamblaje final se hace en España...No conocía a este fabricante Suizo Kuhn Rikon, casualidad en muy pocas webs de reviews aparece, la razón su precio es casi 4 veces superior al de una olla china, la Olla fue recomendada por una compañera de trabajo, en lo que he cocinado con ella, sorprende que la Olla es justo todo lo que anuncia, el nivel de calidad es muy notable vs productos Chinos, es muy fácil de usar, es ultra rápida y silenciosa, pero cuando digo silenciosa es que no la oyes, estar atentos al nivel del vapor inicial y después es bajar el fuego para continuar la cocción al mínimo y estar 10, 7, 3 minutos sin oír ni un ruido, por supuesto los alimentos están perfectamente cocinados.Es evidente que el precio es una barrera para decidirte a comprar esta olla, pero también es importante recordar a todos los posibles compradores que es un producto de mucha calidad, con una garantía de 10 años, es una compra prácticamente para toda la vida, que no tiene competencia en el mercado porque su sistema de cocción es único, una cocción totalmente silenciosa, muy rápida, económica y sobre todo segura, creo que merece la pena invertir para disfrutar de la cocina. Espero ayudar a aquellas/os indecisas/os que son reticentes a comprar esta olla por su elevado precio.

Weshalb: Standard-Durchmesser von 24 cm. Also passen auch normale Deckel von anderen Herstellern drauf, wenn man mal nicht schnellkochen will oder die Rösle Glasdeckel zir Aufbewahrung im Kühlschrank. Das Ventilsystem ist simpel aufgebaut und leicht zu reinigen, nicht so kompliziert, wie bei anderen. Das Verschlusssystem ist ebenfalls simpel aufgebaut. Da dürfte nie was kaputtgehen.Und last but not least, die Griffe sind nicht so platzraubend. Alles in allem ein Top Produkt Made in Switzerland ( nicht China, wie bei vielen Konkurrenzprodukten)

Fabulous. Elegant to look at, too. I used to have an old-style Presto, also very good, but it lost quite a bit of liquid, so things sometimes burned even though I was very careful. But with these, there is very little water loss. I'm very impressed and happy with the upgrade. I use the 4-quart almost every day -- perfect for two people; the 6-quart is also quite handy. No cookbook with this package, though.

Necessary for every chef!
