Tony Chuang Excellent Video Than you.
Hi
Can you review electric pressure cookers
What is the best pressure caner that I could buy and where. I need one that I can use on an induction stove, also had a capacity of at least 7 to 10 quarts containers.
Still using my mother-in-laws 60 year old pressure cooker. Works great.
Please tell me, is it possible to use the Fagor duo 8 qt pressure cooker for canning pints of beans and meet ?? Thanks
I love my Kuhn Rikon 7.4 qt pressure cooker. Best pressure cookers on the market and mine is still going strong after 11 years.
thnak you for this… nice and clean video
It’s always the same , I can’t understand you Americans at the best of times , but I think she said the winner was flistwere vitrsit, I think
Why cant all product review videos be like this one? Just straight to the point! Well done
I inherited my Mom’s MIRRO Pressure cookers. A 4qt, and an 8qt. They’re both OLD SCHOOL heavy aluminum with a 3-weight pressure disk…(a jiggler). I’ve canned in them and made your Farmhouse Chicken Noodle soup in the 8qt. They work PHENOMENALLY! I was also gifted a Presto 16qt Pressure Cooker/Canner..GREAT for all the canning I do….I think I’ll stick with these.
My go to press cooker is a Magefesa had it over 35 years and works flawless and also appears
as the safest sealing method in the industry. I tried the electric ones they dont appeal to me.
Dennie- I found this on Amazon. Looks very much like Fagor……

Please, I want to know which one between a stove-top pressure cooker and electric pressure cooker is better?
I’d love to know how anyone could give this video a thumbs down. Please let me know.
Fagor isn’t what it used to be, sent mine back and got a Presto. Oh my gosh, I am so happy with it. Got the latest one. Customer support was really excellent when I had a question and you can get parts easily. I love the 6 quart, always had the 8 quart but the 6 quart is nice and straight and handles everything I used to put in the 8 quart. p.s. I always spray in the inside before I use it and after it is washed, I put a little olive oil on a paper towel and wipe it shiny. I just needed to share that for some reason.
Very helpful
I could not see a description to “read”. But thanks for the input, I guess
I got myself a Fissler pressure cooker about 4 years ago. The best cooking appliance in my kitchen by a mile
Lisa McManus is my favorite ATK presenter
We have fissler blue dream almost 30 years, fissler is always gonna be a lifetime choice.
Stainless steel is better or aluminium
I got the Fessler and I freakin love it
Thanks 👍
These reviews are like the useful version of Mythbusters
Amazon new products . Instant pot Duo Nova pressure cooker 7 in 1, 3 Qt, Best for Beginner :
In Indian cooking there are many items that needs pressure cooker to be cooked.
Indian used pressure cooker in their kitchen on daily basis.
In this test they have not tested Indian cookers, they will be at the top of the list if tested. Like Hawkins 8L cooker can be used for life time no needs any experience to use.
PLEEASE can you a story on Biryani the water to rice ratio vexes me.
Would love if you could do an updated version of pressure cookers. Fagor is now out of business.
Here’s a list that helped me out.

In the end, I went with #9.

I have this All American canner pressure cooker and it’s really awesome:
https://amzn.to/3chTwGm
it’s my favorite kitchen appliance!
Oh, my general deity, they picked my pot! The best buy, not the expensive one, but still…they picked my pot!
What about the rubber o ring seal on the cover. I know for a fact, these have to be replaced. What about the availability of them?
Please test OPOS Presure Baker
I also got the Fissler but it’s the Vitavit Premium. It was on sale for $220. It’s quite nice. You have to keep the pot open first until it reaches boiling point and then cover it. This way, it doesn’t lose a lot of steam and it gets to the right pressure easily.
However, I think it’s just too expensive. It may be the best (made in Germany) but its difference over other decent but affordable pressure cookers is marginal at best.
They all work the same. The Fissler is just fancier.
I’ll be sticking with my Instant Pot, thanks. Just press a few buttons and walk away.
Thanks for putting so much effort into this video and all the experiments dine before!
"in 2019, this list helped me decide for the best pressure cooker *scafe.shop/pc2019?7e* hope it helps you out too!"
Excellent video. Thank you!
hi guys mine has a failing eurovalve in the fissler… so like its good but then it fails…
test this again please!!
I have Kuhn Rikon and would have no other kind. I know expensive but you sometimes get what you pay for. Thanks
I have an All American pressure cooker. No rubber gasket, oil the edge of the lid lightly, that’s it. The lid basically screws on. Able to can 6-8 1 quart jars at a time. People sometimes worry about pressure causing the lid to come off, will never happen with mine. And it works beautifully on my flat top electric range
Must have in the kitchen. Very Good product. Check here: https://amzn.to/2t647Dm
You say what you like. I’ve used pressure cookers all my life and you can’t be a really good aluminum stovetop
Thick bottom? uuuuh yes please
