Kuhn Rikon Duromatic Energy Efficient Pressure Cooker - Frying Pan

We have had a 5.25 qt Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker for 4 years, for daily use that one was a bit big to handle. We were looking for a smaller 2.5 to 4 qt pressure cooker for quick one time portion meals for 3- 4 people. We tried other brands, both for money savings and variety, and after being disappointed with the construction and quality returned them promptly. We decided to plunge again into Kuhn Rikon, ordered this 2.5 qt Pressure Cooker. Wife is happy - appropriate for small, quick meals, is easy to handle, clean, and store. It feels and looks solidly constructed which makes it slightly on the heavier side for it's size. If you are already familiar with pressure cooking then Kuhn Rikon is the best in class, and if you are already aware of Kuhn Rikon, there is nothing more to add. If the size is right for you, it will serve many, many years.

I fell in love with the Kuhn Rikon Pressure Cooker the minute I took it out of the box. It's very sturdy, stylish and well made with a minimum of plastic. I'd emailed the company directly to make sure the Amazon products were in fact made in Switzerland. They responded within a few hours to all my emails and yes all of their products are made in Switzerland.( I had just returned a Fagor cooker for safety reasons but was also very disappointed that Amazon didn't print in their ad that it was made in China). I've only had the Kuhn Rikon for a week but so far it's very easy to use, the food tastes great and the clean up is quick. Using a pressure cooker one has to be confident in the product to fully enjoy the experience and this one works great for me. I highly recommend this product.

This has the feel of quality and has proved itself in my kitchen for about a year now; the raised top means you have a bit more space than the deep frying-pan appearance might suggest, and this keeps the valve clear of the contents of the pot, which is a good thing! Keeping things to temperature is simple - a needle valve rises up when steam builds and you adjust the heat to keep it between two red lines. The seal is smooth and precise, and the bottom (inside) of the pan is dimpled for... well okay, I don't know what for but it looks good :-)

The frying pan is great; I bought two, one for me and one for my sister, but I had an issue with the safety valve after two years of using it. I ordered from Amazon the part to replace it. Now, my sister has the same issue. Unfortunately, I was not successful in finding this part. I think the company should make all the parts available for consumers to purchase.

I've had a the 2L model for four years, and never had to replace any parts. I left that one at my second home so I will never be without one, and just purchased this 2.5L here. What seems like a loose screw on top is a simple, responsive and sturdy pressure release valve. The plastic handles would only melt if one were using a flame that extends beyond the sides of the pan. By heating it up at medium heat and reducing it to extra low once full pressure is reached, the flame will be nowhere near the sides of the pan, especially on this wider 2.5L model. This takes only a couple of minutes so I see no need for a roaring flame. Dual handles allow you to move the pan while hot, or hold it to run cool water from the tap over the edges for immediate pressure release when desired. The base is very thick so there is no burning of contents. The steam inside reduces all sticking and the lid comes off quite clean. I have electric rice cookers but almost always use the Kuhn Rikon instead because it is much faster and the texture of the rice is better. Only 25 minutes for brown rice, 5 minutes for white.

1‑Star Review: Buyers Should Be Aware — Quality Issues + Poor Support I’m writing this review to warn other buyers before they spend money on this product. My Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker developed a serious defect: the handle broke off during normal use. This is not something that should happen on a product marketed as “Swiss‑made” and “premium quality.” I own far cheaper cookers from Hawkins and Prestige that have lasted for years without a single structural failure. When I contacted Kuhn Rikon, the experience raised even more concerns: • Defective part, but no warranty support Instead of acknowledging this as a product failure, the company immediately tried to charge me $20 for a small replacement handle, plus shipping. No goodwill replacement, no warranty consideration. • Outdated and unsafe payment process Kuhn Rikon asked me to send my credit‑card information through an unsecured email authorization form. This is not a secure or modern payment method. The FTC warns consumers not to send sensitive financial information through unencrypted email. • No clear warranty policy The company did not provide any explanation of their warranty obligations or how they handle premature part failures. For a premium brand, this lack of transparency is concerning.

I have been cooking using this pressure cooker and so far I like how quick it cooks. I have been using another brand for over 40 yrs. I like the quality of the Kuhn Rikon but was disappointed that a trivet wasn't included and had to buy it separately. The trivet is used for certain veget. I like the idea of the small size and can be used like a fry pan. There is a glass lid available when used as a fry pan. I have recommended this to friends and family. Two years ago I purchased a larger one for our son.

Even though this is my second Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker, I'm having issues with this one.

la mia famiglia (varie generazioni) avrà comprato almeno 20 pentole a pressione del kuhn rikon negli ultimi 50 anni. Costano 5 volte o più rispetto ad una pentola a pressione ordinaria (es Lagostina). Ma se uno pensa di usare queste pentole come userebbe una Lagostina non ha capito a cosa servono effettivamente. In quelle basse ci faccio degli arrosti spettacolari in tempi rapidissimi. Sono le Ferrari delle pentole a pressione, anche se in una delle ultime acquistate (dopo 7 anni) si è staccata e piegata la lamina di acciaio del fondo. Utilizzata quasi sempre su piano ad induzione. inoltre non si possono lavare in lavastoviglie pena il deterioramento dei manici e forse anche della valvola

The quality is unquestionable. I had owned and used a full sized Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker for family meals for several years. After becoming an empty-nester I purchased this size to cook meals for only 2 people. It's perfect! Easy to use and easy to clean. If it has burnt food on the bottom - be patient and let it soak overnight. Then it will clean up easily.

bon produit dommage que le site ne paie pas la tva en france donc je vais désormais éviter ce site

Es perfecta. Muy cómoda tanto para limpiar como para guisar en ella. Puedes realizar sofritos en ella y acabar los guisos a presión. Y para hacer hervidos para dos personas o tres resulta muy cómoda porque al tener las paredes muy bajitas puedes recoger la comida para emplatar más facilmente que con las que son más altas. Y a la hora de limpiar también es más cómodo hacerlo con menos altura. En un momento la tienes limpia. La tapadera sólo hay que limpiar con jabón en caso de que hayas cocinado algo que haya salpicado o que tenga grasa, pero la mayoría de las veces, con pasarla por debajo del grifo resulta suficiente. Y lo mismo sucede con el capuchón, sólo hay que quitarlo en contadas ocasiones. Para guardarla, poner la tapadera del revés encima de la sarén, es decir, con el pitorro hacia abajo, así mantendrás la goma libre de presiones y te durará mucho más. Aconsejo secarla enseguida porque de lo contrario quedan las marcas de las gotitas de agua. Y por supuesto, nada de meterla en el fregaplatos aunque te digan que sí que se puede. Se limpia en un plisplas debajo del grifo y te durará más y mejor.

Alles Bestens, danke gerne wieder.
