lol maybe an odd question but I’m having a hard time finding an answer. I have a pressure cooker that looks similar to this. I’m making a huge batch of soup tonight and it won’t fit in my normal soup pot. So I’m wondering if I would be able to use this pot on its own without the lid, over the stove top?

Does anyone know?

Thanks in advance!!

For me they would be a lot more easier to store if they were shaped less tall but more wide... sort of like a slow cooker is normally shaped.

Hey guys, wonder if anyone’s familiar that this older model Presto pressure cooker. Hoping to find out whether it’s stainless steel or aluminum.

We were a Ninja Foodi household and we LOVED that product. We used it daily. But ours broke and now Ninja has discontinued sales of them in the US. (I know you can find them at other retailers still. But we don’t want a product that’s no longer supported.)

We’ve already picked a replacement air fryer, so that’s covered. But I’m looking for a replacement for the pressure cooker function.

If you were starting over and grabbing a new product today, what would you pick?

Instant Pot looks sturdy and solid. Cosori looks a little sleek.

Preferred Cosori initially due to look (sleeker, button looked cool, etc.) and smaller size (5QT is enough for my needs). But now more inclined towards Instant pot since it seems sturdy (the pot inside is stainless steel compared to teflon coating in the cosori) and since its more common, may get parts easily in the future. Any recs based on direct comparison between these two? Will use it 95%+ times only to cook rice.

I keep getting mixed answers. First time pressure cooker user here. I have the Power Pressure Cooker XL. As anything you do for first time, I fear a disaster lol. Don't wanna overfill or underfill and burn the top. These aren't soaked either. Thanks!

I'm looking into getting a stovetop pressure cooker (I don't have the room for another appliance, sadly) and I see some that let you change the pressure.

Is there ever an advantage to pressure cooking at a lower pressure?

When my fissler gets up to pressure, the valve that should seal by the handle sputters. We noticed this last night while cooking. The pot can maintain pressure so we were able to finish our food prep, but it sputters the whole time and it has never done this before. You can hear the problem in the video below.

I have a Cuisinart pressure cooker CPC-600 model and the coating on the inner pot is starting to peel. I want to replace it with a stainless steel inner pot, can anybody recommend one? Not interested in replacing it with an Instant Pot. Thanks!

The title says it all. I am so upset about my IP but I just saw it disclosed on their website that the IPs include PFAS! Ugh!

I have recently gotten a crock pot express multicooker and the slow cooking setting works like a wonder.

However the pressure cooking doesnt seem to work. I've tried already twice and both times it was the same, I have no idea if I am doing anything wrong or it is defective?

What happens is that I make sure the lid is well locked, switch the steam valve to Seal and I chose a pressure cooking setting. From there, the pressure cooking is on heating mode for about 40min (with a lot of steam coming out) and after this time, I get the error E6. Thats pretty much when all the water/steam is gone. I move the valve to release steam and there is nothing coming out. Lid is easy to remove immediately after the error which tells me that there was no pressure at all.

Has anyone experienced this? Do you have any recommendation?

Can’t seem to find the cook time for 1/2 gallon jars

I replaced this a couple months ago and always made ricotta cheese by hitting the yogurt button twice and the boil button would come up. The settings looked the same on the new instant pot and so far, everything worked as expected ( just like the old one). Now, I pushed the yogurt button twice and nothing happens. Any idea where the boil button is hidden?

Having a day after Thanksgiving meal, so want to make BBQ and or gravy shredded bird. Turkey is smoked 5 hrs, so it is done. Plan is to pressure cook it with mirepoix to get it to fall off bone (and easily shredded and get gravy liquidl. Thoughts if I will over cook? I was also contemplating soux vide?

I have a breville fast and slow that is a couple years old but has had minimal use.

When I start pressure cooking, the pressure bar doesn’t build up and just stays on loading. What could be the cause? I have inspected the gasket and it honestly looks okay (maybe a faulty one is not visible to the eye). I had issues like this since I bought it, but usually reopen it and closing it solved them. It’s not the case anymore.

So, I’m wondering if a simple gasket replacement should fix it, or if I should just forget about it and get an instapot on sale

She has made it clear to stray away from croc pots she only wants a pressure cooker for Christmas, one that can make a variety of foods. Any help appreciated thanks.

Does anyone know if the sizes for the inner pots are the same between the Breville/Sage Fast Slow PRO vs the Fast Slow GO?

Would like to get the stainless steel inner pot for and use it for my fast slow Pro if that's the case.

Hey guys,

I recently bought this Tefal multicooker and yesterday when I was making chicken, the steam was all over the place.
It was coming out from the top, side handles like from everywhere.

Because it has an opening at the back for steam I was wondering if thats normal or not.

I checked if I had sealed the cooker correctly, but you cant really do it wrong, since its just 1 turn at the top.

If anyone has any idea, please share.

Hello!

This Christmas I'll have an opportunity to buy a fairly expensive set of Kitchenware to spice up my home cook journey. I already have a few kitchen essentials in my cart and it got me wondering whether it's still worth it to buy normal pots or should I go with a pressure cooker instead?

I only cook once per week and have all my meals prep.

Do normal pots have other use if you have a pressure cooker? Can't a pressure cooker do the same things as a normal pot, while saving time?

Looking forwards to your comments.

I lost pressure cooker weights for my premier pressure cooker set. I ordered the weight online and I got this. How does this work?

Hi,

I got a new stovetop cooker, but all the recipes refer to the instant pot or electric ones. I am confused about cooking times and amounts of water needed, first time I probably burnt it a bit..

Any resources?

Hey folks, we have a Cuckoo (CRP-CHSS1009FN to be exact) and it has been great for rice. We've recently started using it for other dishes and they turn out great. For pork and beef we use the multi-cook function but sometimes during steam release some of the saucy goodness oozes out.. filling the pot to a third full seems to solve the problem but then the capacity is limited..

Was wondering if anyone have any good tips to prevent this from happening? We are going to try using the porridge mode next time to see if it makes any difference (since from experience, porridge overflows very easily, so it should be good for other dishes?).

Seems like other modes releases steam with equal amount... only if there was a way to configure the unit to release steam after it has cooled down a bit would be awesome...

I'm looking for a 12 qt electric stainless steel pressure cooker.

The closest that I have seen that meets this req is Megachef:

However, the internal lining is nonstick and I'm looking for a stainless steel alternative.

IM planning to make chili today in my stove top pressure cooker, ill be using fresh blk/red beans (hydrated a day before), i used TVP many times but never in the pressure cooker, should i hydrate them before adding to pressure cooker or just toss them in the recipe, ill most likely use only 8 pieces at that , either way i was thinking cooking the chili for about 12min (to be safe) and let it rest another 10min when i can open the top.

Local "stop waste food market" have given me 2 kilos of "sweet potatoes" for free. I think this is what is called "iams"? I have only ever heard of these in McDonald's as a sweeter version of French fries.

Can I make this just like normal potatoes, just boiled or mashed, and serve with a meat casserole, for instance?

Do I peel them first or after cooking?

How long do they need in the pressure cooker compared to normal potatoes?

How does it work if it doesnt whistle, does it work like how you cover and cook food?

Do we have to manually release presure?

Is it safe, in comparison to tradtional pressure cooker?
