Best Pressure Cookers

My Gas Stove and Oven isn't working, so I have been using this Telfal Cook4Me and it's attachment steam basket, but it has recipe's on it and easy to use and best all in one cooking ever... YOU CAN COOK A 3 COURSE MEAL, STARTER, MAIN & DESSER.. Show details

No book on instructions of how to use functions. It comes with instruction manual stating what each button is named. Some recipes call for pleasure cook for 1 1/2 hours times only goes for 59 minutes? Show details

This has been a life changing purchase which my wife and love and use at least once a week. We have owned it for about 2-3 years and it has not… Read more

missed a beat. My wife wanted a slow cooker but i wanted a pressure cooked so this was the compromise. We now rarely use the slow cooker as you can get the same result in a much shorter time with pressure cooking. My wife is converted and it is hard to imagine not owning this. So much so we have looked at purchasing a another one as a back up if this one does stop working. The seal does stretch over time, so we have purchased a spare for this, but that is after at least 2 years of regular use. The seal is still working, just a slightly looser fit than when we purchased it. We have cooked roasts, stews, risottos, rice, soups and many other meals in this pressure cooker. All with great success. I would highly recommend this product to others, and i hope they have as much success with it as we have.

My experience with Tefal Cook4Me New Model CY9128 – I bought this top of the range model specifically for the supposed WiFi connection capability, which should provide many hundreds of extra recipes… Read more

via WiFi. If the item hadn’t been spruiked as having that capacity, I would have bought a cheaper model. Wishing I had done this now, as I have wasted 3 full days trying to connect it via WiFi. The WiFi part is working fine, but there is nowhere on the Tefal App or their website where to insert the Association Code generated by the Cook4Me to give me access to the hundreds of recipes online. So, just wondering if anyone out there has bought this model and successfully paired it online??? If not, perhaps this part of the item is faulty/inoperable. I would like to provide the manufacturer with an accurate review, especially if this part of the item is a dud. I think this item only went to market in February of this year. Many thanks for any help provided. Tefal Customer Service was very reluctant to help, and only sent irrelevant information, assuming I was in the wrong. I bought the original Cook4Me many years ago, so am fairly familiar with it.

It's just a great pressure cooker it's cheap feels strong and heavy for plastic it does take a while to pressure rise but its a great reliable pressure cooker Show details

reliable tool – I use one of these commercially and it's produced more than a thousand meals. Like a metric ton of food. It's a unit. Exceptionally valuable to… Read more

time casseroles, pressure cook rehydrated (raw) kidney beans, make stock from bones. Makes rice very quickly.

I's not very powerful as a stove, but saves dirtying a second pot

The seal is notably good, one lasted me 4 years. The pot is great, but it's non stick so don't scratch it.

The pressure vent can get jammed with foam from things, notably some legumes. You can put a drop of oil in it like you would pasta water to reduce foaming, and it also helps not to release the pressure early in these cases. At worst, throw a tea towel over it before venting.... if you really had to.

Can you use it to pressure can? I wouldn't, but yea you could.

Cuckoo rice cooker – It is the best rice cooker I have ever used. The brown rice cooking function really working, there is no half cooked brown rice for Asian. The after sale servers is amazing as well. Show details

Was losing pressure, and cooking until dry, Replaced valve, good now – Boiled it dry thee times until I realised, it will do it every time, cooks dry, leaks pressure if you dont physically lift the centre pressure valve… Read more

once its up to pressure, then you hear the outside presure relief valve lift into position and seal. It's an expensive pressure cooker, and you shouldnt need to have a work arround to use it.

Have just replaced the main centre pressure relief valve, worked perfectly. I must say the Distributors hve been fantastic since I posted this review, and have requested I send the cooker back, as an easier option I was sent replacements for all the 4 pressure relief valves, so far so good Ill run it a few times and then change this review

New favourite kitchen gadget! – Absolutely love our new oval multi cooker, such a great size for a family of 5 and makes cooking dinner so much easier! We’ve made ribs, mac n cheese, slow cooked lasagne and even boiled eggs in our multi cooker and can’t wait to make more! Show details

great product works really well for soups, casseroles, curry’s, chilli con carne, bolognese and slow cooked meats. outstanding warranty and service from crockpot australia. Show details

It does what it’s supposed to do – This appliance is awesome. I’ve had it for 19 years and it’s still going really well. It’s easy to use and easy to clean. My main dish I make in it is stroganoff, with a cheaper meat and it comes out tender. Show details

to pressure cook. It's a shame because when it cooks it works really well I'm not sure what's causing the rusting but I've read a few people have had the same issue.

Bought from Breville store via Amazon. The first unit got replaced due to a faulty thermostat. The second is not safe to use on the pressure cook… Read more

function. The meat was undercooked and on pressure release fat and liquid spewed out violently making a huge mess. The beef was quite lean and the amount of mess was astonishing. Thankfully none was near the cooker at the time! The preset cook functions leave us with undercooked meat as well. Cooking white rice according to built in preset makes it gluggy. There are no pressure cook instructions in the manual. I googled 15 minutes for red wine beef?? Unfortunately, I cannot obtain a cash refund from Amazon as per Australian Consumer Law because I had the replacement unit barely over 30 days and Breville won't help.

After watching pressure canning videos on YouTube I was interested to try my hand at canning vegetables, meats, and full meals. I have some older… Read more

canning jars and a water bath but everything I was reading stated that in order to safely preserve low acid foods like meats and certain vegetables, they need to be done in a pressure canner (not to be confused with a pressure cooker).

Pressure canning is almost exclusively an American thing so almost all of the pressure canners are made in the USA. I did a websearch and found an Australian company OzFarmer.com.au had pressure canners and accessories in stock. A lot of the YouTube videos I watched showed the Presto brand being used, so that is the one I ultimately bought.

The Presto 23 Quart Pressure Canner has the capacity to hold 7 quart jars (946ml). With the addition of a second canning rack you can double stack smaller jars which means it can hold 20 pint jars (568ml) , or 26 half-pint jars (236.5ml). That's great if you are looking to increase your stores quickly. OzFarmer sell extra jars and lids, as do Kitchen Warehouse.

I've had the canner for less than a week now but in that time I've run four batches and now have many bottles of chicken breast, bolognese sauce, soups, stocks, butter chicken, beef stroganoff, and several different stews in jars on my shelf. It's a great way to use up some of the older frozen items and free up space in your freezer. I like batch cooking and the convenience of having pre-made meals at hand so I find it enjoyable.

The first run was a bit intimidating. I was trying to remember all the necessary steps to ensure a successful outcome but I mixed up a few things and had to start again. Thankfully it all worked out and by the second run of jars I felt a lot more confident and less fearful of the pressure canner. I attribute that to reading lots of how-to's, buying an e-book written for beginners, and watching a lot of really great women on YouTube sharing their own tips and tricks (my tip: start with a channel called Homestead Heart as every video drums into you the procedures for using your pressure canner).

Now I am looking at meat and vegetables on sale and stocking up when I see something at a great price. I can't wait to can my own tomatoes next summer.

I'm so disappointed in this Smart Cooker, it's anything but Smart. The first time I used it on low for slow cooking after 8 hrs I had to then finish… Read more

the meal on pressure to fully cook it. I asked a question on a Forum as to the "Heating up light" never changed from heating up, I was told this is normal on low slow cooking. Today I used it again on slow cooking low, it was on for 8 hours and most of it was not cooked. I tried to use the pressure cooking however again it would not change from Heating up and the steam was coming out of the small heat, there was NO build up of pressure in the unit, so after over 9.5 hours of total cooking time, this meal was only just edible, the veggies were still crunchy. I am so disappointed I will be returning it to the store of purchase and do NOT want a replacement unit.

I did not buy anything from Soga and never will. My experience with them was enough to leave me depressed. They use AI to answer queries and in spite of 3 back and forth emails, I still did not get my question answered.

Lenoxx replaced the bowl, but when the coating peeled off again, warranty was up. Manufacturer's refused to replace or refund. The basket also rusted after one time in dishwasher. The machine is ok but the accessories are poor quality. Pressure cooker seal is sometimes erratic. Air fryer works ok. Generally cooks effectively
