Review: Kuhn Rikon VS instant pot: Quality vs vercatility - This pressure cooker has proved that it can be worth paying a premium for quality. Its well built and feels sturdy and strong.Its design is so simple that there is very little to go wrong. According to the Manual it goes up to 17PSI if you let it go past the red marks, which frequently we do and explains why it seems to cook beans in super fast time. This literally changed the way we eat, going from never cooking a dried bean in my life to doing batches at least 3 times a week. The best tip i ever had was to start with boiling water, this takes the time to get up to pressure from 10mins down to 2-3, so I can cooked soaked beans in 15mins tops from start to finish. There are very few things to criticize as its so easy to clean and maintain and quick releasing the pressure is safe and easy. Occasionally we would have to pull up the weight as it got stuck, and if the seal inst quite right steam can escape form the handle. If you want a manual pressure cooker, this will certainly last for many many years and spare parts are readily available. The manufacturer prides itself on having spare parts available well after they stop producing models. HOWEVER... I can't rate this highly enough but here is the big but...We originally purchased this over an electric pressure cooker because of its longevity, we didn't want an electrical appliance that would break down after a year. Having had this for a yeah though i'd given up making big batches of chilli etc because it tended to spit and block up the seals. On a gas hob it also requires supervision to tweak the flame to maintain a steady pressure meaning you can't just walk away form it for more than a few minutes or it will either be over or under pressure. I took the risk and purchased the instant pot, and in all honesty the manual cooker hasn't been used since. The electric cookers are slower as they work at a lower pressure, its perhaps 15% slower so not as good if you want to make a quick dinner but the enourmous benefit is that you can just walk away from it. This means you can re-create slow cooked dishes and cook beans direct from dry and not have to be even in the house for the 25mins to an hour it takes. I now cook 4-5 dishes a week in the instant pot cooking anything from beans,potatoes,soups and stews to steamed veggies and baked potatoes. So really you need to weight up if you want quality that will last a lifetime, or convenience and versatility. Both are high ticket items and I don't regret either purchase. Review: Expensive and fabulous - I love this pressure cooker. I've had it for a few months now and although it was frighteningly expensive I now consider it totally essential and it is in almost daily use. Its much much quicker and easier to cook almost anything in this pressure cooker. Its totally easy to use and very good looking. I was a bit concerned I'd only be using it now and then for cooking chickpeas etc. but actually its good for anything you might ordinarily cook in a saucepan - but super speedy. I especially like the fact that it is very quiet and that it doesn't have a long handle so I can store it on a pan rack easily. I cook daily for a family of 6 and a 6 litre model is good for us - however if I wanted to cook larger quantities to freeze I could really do with an 8 litre pan. At first you have to look up timings for everything but you soon get a feel for how long things will take and I am no longer needing to check the booklet. Its so easy to reduce the pressure by pushing down the vent that you can easily check your cooking and then add a few more minutes if needed. Very happy customer. ## Features - Quiet, safe, simple, attractive and cooks in approximately 1/3 time of conventional methods - 18/10 stainless steel with solid aluminium superthermic sandwich base - Suitable for all heat sources, including induction - Spring-loaded precision valve, integrated lid locking and 3 safety release systems - Made in Switzerland, 10-year warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004TNOFGY | | Best Sellers Rank | 524,110 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 92 in Pressure Cookers | | Brand Name | Kuhn Rikon | | Capacity | 6 litres | | Closure Type | Outer Lid | | Colour | Silver | | Control Method | Touch | | Controller Type | Hand Control | | Country of Origin | Switzerland | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (882) | | Finish Type | Aluminium | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | Yes | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 36D x 23W x 26.4H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Pressure Cooker | | Item Weight | 4 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Kuhn Rikon | | Material | Stainless steel | | Model Number | 3017 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Part Number | 3017 | | Special Features | Electric Stovetop Compatible, Gas Stovetop Compatible, Induction Compatible Base | | Voltage | 220 Volts | | Wattage | 1000 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Kuhn Rikon - **Capacity:** 6 litres - **Colour:** Silver - **Control method:** Touch - **Finish type:** Aluminium - **Item weight:** 4 Kilograms - **Material:** Stainless steel - **Product dimensions:** 36D x 23W x 26.4H centimetres - **Special feature:** Electric Stovetop Compatible, Gas Stovetop Compatible, Induction Compatible Base - **Wattage:** 1000 watts ## Images ![Pressure Cooker Duromatic Inox 6L/24cm Food Steamer with Side Grips.

Instant Cook Pot – 10 Year Kuhn Rikon Cookware Guarantee - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61CYOQP8LDL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this equate with 5,10,& 15 lb pressure of the old style prestige pressure cookers?** A: Not sure what you mean by 5,10 & 15 1b. I have used old Prestige cookers before and the Kuhn is the Rolla Royce of pressure cookers for me. Very powerful and needs much shorter times. Very safe and is to clean too. **Q: Does this have a non-stick coating? the instruction booklet says it does while product description says nothing about non-stick coating.** A: It is stainless steel and does not have a β€˜non-stick coat but….. it cleans so easily. Anything a bit stuck, drop of Fairy, boiling water and leave until water is cool. Works for me every time and mine is about 5/6 years old. I’ve also bought them for daughters and granddaughters. They are delighted. **Q: How heavy is this coker, empty, with the lid please?** A: I didn't weigh it but it's very heavy, full solid steel even the walls of the pan **Q: Is it safe to use boilable plastic bowls with lids,to steam sweet & savoury puddings on lowest setting (5lb old style)with this pressure cooker?** A: The simple answer is no: a pressure cooker cooks at high temperature by boiling at high pressure. The combination of higher pressure and temperature will distort the plastic. The food safe nature of the plastic at low temperature can become food unsafe ( affects taste and possibly toxicity) at higher temperature. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kuhn Rikon VS instant pot: Quality vs vercatility *by D***A on 22 April 2017* This pressure cooker has proved that it can be worth paying a premium for quality.

When I placed the order I had no idea that is was being shipped from Spain by Correos which is their National Postal Service. I tracked the package and found it had arrived in the UK but was then sent to the wrong destination, it took almost a week before it was tracked down and finally delivered to me. I was expecting the UK part of the delivery would be by Royal Mail and was surprised when FedEx rang the door bell. I had an even bigger surprise when a letter arrived from FedEx a few days later asking for Β£69:68 for Import Duty and Clearance charges. After contacting Amazon Customer Service this amount was refunded by the vendor who I have sympathy with as I'm sure the problem was with the carrier not them. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kuhn Rikon Pressure Cooker Duromatic Inox 6L/24cm Food Steamer with Side Grips.
