8 Qt Instant Pressure Cooker

This is not my first pressure cooker, but it is the first from this particular brand. I was hesitant in the beginning to try a different brand than the one I had been using for years, thinking that it would be difficult to use or get used to. Now that I've received and used this cooker a few times, I'm glad I ordered it. It is so simple to use that I did not even read the instructions. This pressure cooker came with a 6 quart nonstick pot that was the same size as the ones I already had, so I could use my old pots in this new cooker.In addition to the pressure cooker, the box included a spatula, ladle, measuring cup, steaming rack, and an instruction manual. Unfortunately, it did not include a recipe book. Two other things were included: A dripping cup which must be attached to the back to collect the dripping water, as well as a silicone ring to attach to the inside of the lid, as the lid will not seal properly without it.The steam release valve is large, making it easy to handle. The cooker has 12 presets, which can be selected by repeatedly pressing the menu button. In addition, there is a "keep warm" preset that keeps the food warm for 10 hours. The pot and lid are dishwasher safe, but I prefer to hand wash them because they are easy to clean. My tile countertop is very smooth and slippery, but the four rubber feet on

This pressure cooker/everything else is honestly a great addition to my kitchen. The brand is typically on the lower end but usually works well so I’m hopeful this will last a few years at least.I haven’t tested every setting but it does work well for what I’ve done. It is nonstick which is pretty helpful, but be cautious when washing, scrubbing or scooping out any contents because it will scratch easily. Definitely use the plastic spoons provided or use wooden spoons.Great value for money. Definitely recommend.
