prefer this size and shape to other cookersDec 08, 2009
By GripeMan
while this kuhn rikon is certainly pricey compared to other cookers, the quality and elegance is unsurpassed by anything out on the market. i really like the shape of this particular model because it allows me to easily braise and cook whole pork loins or roasts since the opening is flatter and shallower then KR's other models. Kuhn also sells a pyrex glass lid that fits on this cooker so it can be pressed into service as a giant saucepan or skillet, or for bringing food directly to the table in the pot. this cooker is almost always used in our kitchen for meal preparation - can't imagine life without it!

Kuhn Rikon pressure cookerAug 05, 2010
By D. Barretto
Awesome quality and it is not made in China. Great product, expensive but rest assured the last one you will need to buy. Get the lid with this and make a dual purpose item. Again the finish and the quality of this item is awesome. Great solid shiny stainless.

My wife loves it. And the rest of the family enjoys the food.
I cannot think of any problems with the cooker. Right steel, right polish, right design.

perfect sizeJul 15, 2010

After 26 years I decided I needed some peace and quiet so I replaced my old jiggle top pressure cooker with this almost silent Kuhn Rikon. I wish I had done it sooner.
I was nervous about this size, as it is a tad smaller, but I have no complaints.
Years of useJan 25, 2012
By P. Mikell
This is one of the best investments I have ever made in a cooking pot. I was reluctant to buy it initially because it is expensive, but I have been using it steadily for ten years now and it's just great. I use it to make Osso Bucco, I braise lamb shanks and make venison stews. I prepare beets with it. It handles pot roasts and briscits very nicely. It significantly shortens cooking time and I find that many dishes that benefit from long cooking with an overnight rest can be be prepared for same day meals. There is a trick.... Since it takes very little time, relatively speaking, to braise something you have time to to let the dish rest for an hour or so to come together. You can then reheat it and you have something that would have required several hours of cooking all done in less than half the time and it gets the benefit of the resting time. If it didn't cost so much, I would have two. It's big enough to make braised shanks or coq au van for a family or a number of quests. The finish is nice enough and the surface area large enough to make a good presentation at the table. I can't find any downside to this cooker.
