MAGEFESA Star 4.2-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker, Works on All Stovetops (Induction Compatible), Safety Lock & 8 PSI Cooking

I have purchased two of these. I uses them with oil and pressure cook chicken. They work very well.

Love it!!

Bought this item to fry chicken under pressure once you place chicken oil the temp drops very quickly.

Use only 6 times and the air is leaking due to the seal. Bought new seal and still the same problem. Never have problem with Preston. Don't ever buy this beautiful pressure cooker but not working. Water leaking out on the surface of top cook. Terrible oroduct

My husband loves his pressure cooker , He makes his favorite meats and beans on them and it taste amazing

This is my second Magefesa. The first I purchased in 1991. I have never used it for canning. I own a large All American Canner for that. I teach food preservation, water bath and pressure canning, so I am familiar with a quality item. Frankly, my Magefesa is my personal cooking choice. The original was very secure and safe but was destroyed in a house fire in 2014 and I was advised that it's structural integrity may have been compromised so I bought a new one, which I received yesterday. I discovered this morning that the rim/clamp called the "orejones" is warped/ bent preventing the lid from sealing securely. This is a serious concern as pressure builds. Please inspect all ridges and sealing components carefully, as this superior item can prove disastrous if faulty. These Magefesas are constructed to withstand a great deal of pressure.

The performance of the product is first rate. I pressure-fried chicken that would have impressed the Colonel. The downside is in the shipping. The first one arrived with a broken handle. Warily, I didn’t ship it back until the replacement arrived. Guess what? Another broken handle. I just removed the remaining unbroken handle and used it on the first unit. Other reviewers have also mentioned broken handles. One suggestion for users of this pressure cooker is to make sure that the lid is properly seated before using. It is very easy to lock down a misaligned lid, causing the unit to fail to come up to pressure.

I picked this pressure cooker because it lis like the one my mom used when I was growing up in France many years ago. I saw many meals prepared in that pressure cooker and it lasted for many many years. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles but i didn't want them anyway because most of the time they end up breaking or just unnecessary. I wanted simple, easy and safe to use. I am definitely so happy with this pressure cooker. It is so sturdy, simple and it heats the food so fast. It is just what I wanted. so thank you for this quality product, it definitely is made with quality materials and very well made.
