Presto 6-Quart Aluminum Pressure Cooker, Silver

Presto's 6-quart aluminum pressure cooker is a versatile, multi-purpose pot that can excel both as a conventional soup pot and as a pressure cooking appliance renowned for its speed and precision. This durable, polished-aluminum pressure cooker is an economical addition to any well-rounded kitchen.

The heavy-duty lid locks down securely during cooking, and an inner sealing ring keeps the steam contained. In addition to a pop-up pressure indicator and a simple steam release mechanism, there is an overpressure plug that will safely vent steam if excess pressure builds up. This pressure cooker is a valuable tool for quick weeknight dinners or any meal that needs to come together rapidly.

An accompanying booklet provides over 65 recipes, ranging from basic soup stocks to hearty stews and pot roasts - even desserts like 5-minute custards. The pressure cooking process tenderizes lean cuts of beef or pork, and cooks chicken, fish, or vegetables faster than a microwave, without sacrificing moisture. Foods cook 3 to 10 times faster than ordinary methods, saving time, energy, and money.

The pressure cooker features strong, heavy-gauge aluminum construction for quick, even heating, and is suitable for use on both regular and smooth-top ranges. The pressure regulator maintains the proper cooking pressure automatically, while the cover lock indicator shows when there is pressure inside, preventing the lid from being opened until it is safely reduced.

For added convenience, the unit includes a helper handle for easy maneuvering, and a special rack for cooking multiple foods simultaneously without cross-contamination of flavors. Cleaning is a breeze, as the pressure cooker is fully immersible, and the sealing ring and overpressure plug can be removed for thorough cleaning. Nonabrasive cleansers are recommended, though occasional use of a gentle metal polish will help maintain the exterior's shine.

Presto backs this pressure cooker with an extended 12-year limited warranty, underscoring its long-lasting quality and reliability. The included detailed instruction and recipe booklet provides clear guidance on proper and safe usage of pressure cookers. By preserving flavors and nutrients while tenderizing lean meats, this pressure cooker offers a smart choice for healthy, flavorful meals that come together quickly and easily.
