Presto 01370 8-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker

The Presto 8-quart pressure cooker is a versatile, professional-quality appliance that cooks healthy, flavorful meals quickly and effortlessly. This stainless steel pressure cooker features a special tri-clad base that ensures fast, uniform heating, making it suitable for use on both regular and smooth-top ranges.

With its pressure regulator that automatically maintains the proper cooking pressure, this pressure cooker can cook chicken, fish, meat, and vegetables to perfection in a matter of minutes. The quick pressure/steam release system also allows for an effortless "quick cool" option, saving time, energy, and money.

The cover lock indicator provides a visual cue, showing at a glance when there is pressure inside the cooker and preventing the cover from being opened until the pressure is safely reduced. This added safety feature, combined with the easy-open cover design, makes the pressure cooker simple and intuitive to use.

For added convenience, the pressure cooker includes a stainless steel steaming basket, allowing users to cook multiple foods at once without flavor intermingling. A 64-page instruction and recipe book is also provided, offering a wide range of recipe options, from basic soup stocks to stews, pot roasts, and even desserts.

One of the key benefits of pressure cooking is its ability to tenderize lean cuts of meat, as well as to cook chicken, fish, and vegetables faster than traditional methods while retaining more of their nutrients and flavor. The Presto pressure cooker excels in this regard, quickly cooking and tenderizing economical cuts of meat to perfection.

Cleaning the pressure cooker is a breeze, as it is dishwasher-safe. The vent pipe is also easily maintained with a small brush or pipe cleaner, and the air vent/cover lock and overpressure plug are removable for thorough cleaning.

Presto backs this pressure cooker with an extended 12-year warranty, demonstrating their confidence in the product's durability and performance. With its combination of speed, efficiency, and versatility, the Presto 8-quart pressure cooker is a valuable addition to any well-equipped kitchen.
