Wolfgang Puck 10th Anniversary 7 Cup Rice Cooker Review

Wolfgang Puck 10th Anniversary 7 Cup Rice Cooker
Average Reviews:

The rice from this cooker turns out pretty well if you don't add too much water. For every cup of rice, I add about a cup and a half of water, and this makes a good batch of rice no matter how little or how much I cook. I also like the plastic paddle that comes with the cooker. Little things that irritate me: (1) the vent for the steam is in the back of cooker, so I have to pull it far away from any cabinets or turn it backwards to use it; (2) tough to clean, because the condensation from the steam accumulates on the top cook plate and runs into grooves that cannot be separated from the appliance, so it can be very awkward and time-consuming to clean well; (3) the "warm" function runs too hot, so you have to unplug the device altogether and heat up left over rice in the microwave or else the bottom gets burned; and (4) the steamer tray sits pretty low inside the cooker, so you can't cook rice and steam vegetables or whatever at the same time. Overall: an OK rice cooker for now, but may consider getting another long-term.

Wolfgang Puck Stainless Steel Dessert Maker Insert Review

I do not own the Wolfgang Puck electric pressure cooker, but I bought this insert set because it is just the right size for my stove-top pressure cookers, which I use frequently. Often, it is necessary to use an insert, for cooking things that might scorch on direct heat, or to keep foods separated during cooking. I also make a lot of desserts in the pressure cooker. This set has it all. The deep and shallow pans are each perfect sizes. What they call the "storage rack" is ideal for lifting these pans in and out of the cooker. It can be used to lift my other insert pans in and out too. Before, I was using aluminum foil as a lifter, but I didn't like that this wasted foil, and I always had a little fear that the foil might not be strong enough. The rack is ideal also for lifting whole roasts or chicken out of the pressure cooker, and can also serve the same purpose in an oven roasting pan. As time goes by, I may discover even more uses. If you are a pressure cooker enthusiast, this set is a must have! Five stars are not nearly enough.
It is beautiful stainless steel, so no concerns about it rusting, or reacting with any foods. Cleanup is so simple. I just pop them into the dishwasher. Then, store them directly into one of my pressure cookers to await the next use.
Another company makes a silicon dessert insert set, but those things are floppy, difficult to manage, and do not transfer heat as efficiently. (some people think they develop an odd odor after a while).
By the way, if you are intending to use this in pressure cookers other than the one it is designed for, first determine if it will fit. Some pressure cookers may not be deep enough or wide enough diameter to accomodate this insert. So be sure to measure your cooker's diameter and depth. Some cookers may accomodate the pans, but not the rack. If so, it's still worth purchasing the set. Stacking pans such as these are not easy to find.
UPDATE: I have used this set many times now, and it has never disappointed.
