Cuisinart updates a classic! Our brushed stainless pressure cooker is safe, easy to use, cooks up to 70% faster than conventional methods and cooks healthier, too. Steam trapped in the pot builds up pressure that creates hotter temperatures, and the pot is so tightly sealed that vitamins and minerals can't boil away. Foods stay moist and flavors stay true. Features variable pressure and temperature setting, plus Browning, Simmer and Saute functions for perfect roasts, stews, vegetables, cheesecake or custard. The Cuisinart Pressure Cooker is absolutely safe, with a lid that has to be locked in place before pressure builds, and stays locked until pressure is released. Cook faster, eat healthier, with Cuisinart!

Have had good results with recipes included in the instruction book. I also own another electric pressure cooker--the Wolfgang Puck--and it works well too, but the Cuisinart seems to be a bit better engineered and constructed though the actual operation of the Cuisinart is not very intuitive. You will need to read the manual carefully to set up a project. All in all--well worth the money.

I used to cook with a classic pressure cooker which does not work with my new induction cooktop.
Also , we turned to solar power that makes the new pressure cooker virtually free, powerwise.
It is easy to use and clean, fast. A little heavy to move and there is no way to put it away, unless you have huge cabinets. So , it has to stay on the counter.
It is great to cook ham and pea soup, artichokes, chile.
I have not tried yet pasta sauce or brown rice which is time consuming on the stove.
This is a very good buy.

I saw a recommendation of this product in the food section of our local paper & since I have enjoyed cooking "under pressure" before decided to give this a try. I did have to read the manual closely but after doing so I am finding the cooker very easy to use. Just follow the recipe, lock the top, select the pressure level & time & let it take care of the rest! I love it! Lentil soup in under 15 minutes & Blueberry Bread Pudding! After tasting the bread pudding my husband said "I've died & gone to heaven!" When cooking with other manual pressure cookers I felt that I had to stay very close & constantly watch the process. With this I can enjoy other activities around the house without a worry! I was trying to figure out where to store it but it has been on the counter for the past three weeks as I use it every week end. I would recommend looking for a few pressure cooker cookbooks until you get the hang of this method of cooking & there are more out there than you might think. Lorna Sass has several good ones as do Toula Patsalis & Miss Vickie.

This is excellent. I just bought this a few days ago and its working magic for me. My white rice was cooked perfect in 3 minutes.. Of course it does take some more time for the cooker to build and release pressure.. but i think its still quicker than a conventional cooker. My lentils (yellow indian Dhaal) was completely cooked in 18 minutes, something i always had trouble dealing with other cookers.. And whats more.. you don't have to worry about switching off the appliance in time unlike ur conventional cooker.. happy cooking with cuisinart..
