What Others Say
Among other things: great soup!
I have had this unit for over a year and am always finding new uses for it. I am very happy with it! The pot is heavily constructed and sturdy, as well as having a non-stick surface. Also, I find the button arrangement reasonably easy to understand and operate. Usually, I brown items before pressure cooking. I take care of what I own and have had no problems as I have followed all of the maintenance instructions. Even the rubber seal is still going strong, although I do oil it regularly as recommended. I had an older pressure cooker that you placed over a flame and then from a safe distance watched it go into nuclear-detonation mode. Fortunately, the fear factor is no longer there with this unit, nor do I have to scrape stuff off the walls. ... Read More
No more burned food for dinner !!!
It's worth of investment. I don't have to worry about burning the dinner anymore just simply set it and forget it.
It's good for working mom who does not have a lot of time waste on cooking.
Worst Customer Service I've Ever Experienced!
I had a Nesco 6 qt electric pressure cooker for a year and a half before it exploded boiling water over my entire kitchen and me. Even though I inspected the sealing gasket before each use, it failed. Being thankful that no one was hurt, I figured I'd just buy a new gasket from Nesco. Wrong.
Nesco no longer supports my cooker and doesn't sell the gaskets anymore. Apparently their supplier went out of business. No problem. I figured Nesco wouldn't leave a loyal customer with a useless cooker. Wrong again!
My expensive pressure cooker was used for only a year and a half and it is now unusable. Nesco offered no alternatives--no parts, no discount on a new machine, nothing. And their customer service department ... Read More
My first Pressure Cooker
Executive summary: I really like the cooker and highly recommend it to others.
I was visiting friends in Canada and my friend used a pressure cooker that she has had for about 20 years to cook potatoes, turnips and carrots in only 5 minutes! I thought this was great! My mother had never used a pressure cooker and wanted to give it a try. I first purchased a Mirro 8qt at a discount store for $40. I read the Safety Instructions and it said that I could not use the cooker on a glass top or ceramic smooth surface cooktop-whic is what I have-darn!
My partner suggested that I see if anyone makes an electric cooker. I checked Amazon and found two listed from Nesco and Cuisinart. Since this was my first, I chose ... Read More
Best kitchen product I have
I have used it for a few times and it works perfectly every time. The best feature for me is the timer, I don't need worry to turn it off any more. I have a bad memory (even when I was young) and burned a few cooking pans before. Another good feather is the delay timer, you will know how cool it is once you use it.
The quality is also 5-star. The instruction book is so-so but good enough.
