Presto 85622 Pressure Cooker Rack Review

I bought this because I have a 10" Fagor pressure cooker that didn't come with a canning insert, and the only one they offer is specifically made for 4 pint jars. This will work for me (haven't canned with it yet) because it fits about 1 or 1 1/2 inches from the bottom of the cooker. It doesn't quite sit all the way--it get sandwiched by the apparently sloping sides of the pot. But it will still serve its purpose, albeit with my losing about an inch of headroom.

Sunpentown NY-636 3-4/5-Liter Chinese Herbal Medicine Cooker with Stainless Heater Review

I've been using this to cook Chinese Herbal Medicine for a few months now. I used to use a ceramic pot to cook the medicine. This unit is much easier to cook. You plug and let it do its job. The ceramic pot is easier to clean and costs $5.99. This unit you cannot put into a dishwasher due to electronic components being part of the unit. One time I was rinsing the unit trying to clean it and the water got onto the base and the unit stop working for 24 hours ... until it was dry again. Normally this does not happen if you clean it carefully.
This unit works by cooking the medicine until the water level drops to a certain point. Then it switches to warm mode. This often takes 1.5 to 2 hours for the medicine I cook. However the herbalist whom I get my medicine from says to cook it only for 30 minutes after it boils and not to exceed 40 minutes. Well since he is an OMD, and a former professor of the Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I'll take his word for it. I have to use kitchen timer and then un-plug this unit after 45 minutes (15 minutes before it boils + 30 minutes of boil).

Easily enjoy the health benefits of Chinese herbal medicine with the help of this convenient cooker. To use, simply add ingredients prepared by an herbalist, pour in a measured amount of water, and plug it in. The unit holds up to 3-4/5 liters and features a powerful 480-watt electric stainless heater. After it quickly reduces the contents to one bowl, as prescribed, the appliance then automatically switches over to keep-warm mode. Resembling a hand-crafted teapot, the cooker's beautiful design includes a lid with a decorative knob, an ergonomic handle, and a drip-free spout for graceful pouring. Other highlights include ceramic construction for excellent results, an 8-inch-wide base, red "boil" and green "warm" indicator lights, and a detachable power cord. The medicine cooker measures approximately 9 by 11 by 11 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

I am a first time user of any type of pressure cooker so was a little afraid of the old stories of pressure cookers. However, that fear is all gone. I had no trouble what so ever following the manual that came with the Presto stainless steel electric Pressure cooker. It is so easy. Just follow the directions. Have cooked several times with it already. Food was great. I have even cooked one of the recipes. The only thing I would suggest is brown your meats in an alternate pan as it does have a tendency to stick to the bottom of the cooker. Bottom line is I would recommend this product.

Easily prepare a healthy dinner for the family, even after a long day at the office, with this 6-quart electric pressure cooker. By combining steam, heat, and pressure, the unit can cook up to three or four times faster than conventional cooking methods, which means serving up delicious home-cooked meals like tender pot roast, hearty chili, vegetable stew, and more in no time. The durable stainless-steel appliance features an aluminum-clad base for fast, even heating, while its Control Master heat control automatically regulates the temperature to maintain the proper cooking pressure. Furthermore, the included stainless-steel basket allows for steaming and cooking different foods simultaneously with no intermingling of flavors. For safety, the unit's side handles stay cool to the touch and its cover-locking system prevents the lid from being opened while under pressure. With the heat control and sealing ring removed, the pressure cooker cleans up easily by hand or in the dishwasher. A 64-page manual comes included with easy-to-follow instructions and a variety of flavorful recipes. The 1300-watt pressure cooker measures 15-1/2 by 9-1/2 by 10-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
