Kuhn Rikon Frying Pan Pressure Cooker Duromatic Inox 2.5L/24cm. Long Handle Food Steamer. Multi Cooker with Auto Lock Lid. Stainless Steel Pot. Instant Cook Pot – 10 Year Kuhn Rikon Cookware Guarantee

First of all, let's talk about the design. This pressure cooker is made from high-quality stainless steel and has a modern, sleek look to it. It's not too heavy, which makes it easy to handle, and it has a good-sized capacity of 5 litres, making it perfect for cooking for a family or for meal prepping. Now, onto the performance. This pressure cooker is super easy to use and it's great for cooking all kinds of dishes, from stews and curries to soups and even desserts! It cooks food quickly and evenly, which is perfect for those busy weeknights when you don't have much time to spend in the kitchen. One of the things I love about this pressure cooker is that it has a number of safety features built in. It has a pressure release valve that helps to prevent over-pressurisation, as well as a locking lid that keeps everything secure while you're cooking. Cleaning the pressure cooker is also a breeze. The stainless steel is easy to wipe clean and the inner pot is removable and dishwasher safe, which is a huge bonus in my book! All in all, I would definitely recommend the Kuhn Rikon Pressure Cooker to anyone who's in the market for a high-quality, easy-to-use pressure cooker that cooks food quickly and evenly. It's well-designed, safe, and easy to clean, making it a great investment for any home cook.

I must admit I ummed and arghed for a long time before taking the plunge and buying this pressure cooker. I've never used or owned one before. I contacted Kuhn Rikon customer services for advice between 2 different models and they were very helpful. I did look at a couple of other brands in stores, but just wasn't impressed with how they looked and felt - some of them looked quite complicated! I wish I had bought the Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker years ago. I love it - it is so easy to use and not at all scary. It looks really sleek and clean in design, and when under pressure there is hardly any steam loss, so no worries about windows steaming up! It is also really easy to clean. So far I've cooked potatoes and veggies, which only take about 8 mins, I've cooked a wonderful beef and onion pie filling and instead of about 2.5 hours it took about 20 mins once under pressure, and a couple of boiled gammon joints which again take about 20 mins. All have been so tasty!! I was surprised how quickly when taken off the heat it naturally reduces pressure - you only need a couple of minutes before you can open the lid. I just need to experiment a bit more with what I cook in it. A while after I had it, I also bought the 3 section basket for it too, which is fab also. If you've been umming and aarghing - go for it - I haven't regretted it at all - and I don't think you will either!

I'm absolutely loving this pan! I am a very enthusiastic pressure cooking convert and I bought this one to replace my Fissler which developed a fault after a few months. I wasn't sure about the size but actually this is the most handy size and shape because it comes up to pressure very quickly compared with larger pans. It's simple design is very user friendly, no dials, buttons or switches or anything like that to set, you just put food in, close the lid and put it on the heat. The button indicator pops up when it's at pressure and there are two rings on it for low and high pressure, you just have to get the heat just right to maintain the pressure. It's very efficient requiring very little heat to maintain pressure. Everything I have cooked in it has turned out absolutely perfect! I LOVE it!

Its very well made, pretty heavy, well finished. It looks like it will last forever. Other reviews haven't explained what is different about it, so this tries to. Its different in form, in volume, and in mechanism. It is basically a 24cm saute pan with a pressure lid. It is about 7cm deep. The lid is domed so there is more clearance in the center. You can use one of those folding out steamers, for instance, and the stalk does not foul the lid. The width is one respect in which it is unique. It is very unusual in having only 2.5 liter volume. The effect of these two features is that it comes up to pressure very fast indeed. If you compare it to a 6 liter Instant Pot, by the time the IP has come up to pressure you may have finished your cooking in this. Its also much more usable for initial frying than taller narrower cookers, and far more usable than the saute function in the IP. It is plain stainless steel, as most pressure cookers are. This is much better, in a pressure cooker, than non-stick. Its one of the great advantages of the Instant Pot that its liner is plain stainless. The pressure control mechanism on this is unique. There are still some pressure cookers on the market which have the old fashioned rocking weight on a vent. Noisy and evaporates more water than the modern ones. You sometimes get two weights to adjust the pressure to different levels. More modern ones have an automatic adjustment control, where you set the pressure using a dial on the lid. Preferable. Quieter and loses less water. This one does neither. It has a small spring loaded valve in the lid, and when it comes up to pressure this rises and you can tell by the height of the device which of two pressure settings it has reached. It makes the impression of a design from 50 years ago. It works perfectly so its none the worse for that. When its reached pressure, and before you turn down the heat, it regulates the pressure by letting some steam out. But far less than the old rocker kind, and its barely audible. This is very much an advantage, because you lose less water through steam, and so can cook with less, which makes the whole thing faster. In all cases of stovetop pressure cookers you have to manually lower the heat once it reaches pressure. That is the case with this one too. You keep an eye on the valve stem and when you see the second red marker you know you are at high pressure, and should immediately lower the heat to keep at whatever pressure you want. There are three ways of releasing pressure depending on which kind of mechanism your cooker has. With the rocking weight system you just remove the weight, and steam will shoot out of the vent. With the IP you move a control and it vents. You can also run a stovetop one under a cold tap, and that will bring pressure down quite fast. In the case of this one, the weight of the pan with some liquid in this is going to be too heavy for a lot of people, but if you can handle the weight, it works. You can also simply take it off the heat and let it cool down naturally, which will take some minutes. This is where lower volume has an effect, it will cool down naturally much quicker than a 6 liter pan. With this one, with its unique pressure control system, you manually reduce pressure by pushing the valve in the lid down. Steam will then emerge with a rush around a sort of loose cap about 5cm diameter which surrounds the valve. It is best to do this pushing down with a wooden spoon or when wearing a proper oven glove. It is not scalding hot, but its not very comfortable either. Should you buy one? Its a question of priorities. You can get a 3 liter Prestige stainless for about 40.00. It is not as wide and its quite a bit higher sided. You can also get an Amazon 4 liter stainless for 30.00 at present. Also higher sided and not as wide. This one costs about 100.00 more than either. In fact its quite a bit more expensive than an Instant Pot. The main feature of it is the saute pan form factor, which makes it usable as a frying pan without using the pressure feature, and the low volume, which makes it very much faster to use under pressure than bigger ones. Fissler makes an even lower volume one, but its not so wide. It is probably less useful than this one. About the same price. If your cooking has a lot of dishes where you first saute some ingredients, then add others and some liquid, and then simmer for some time - stews of some sort, pasta sauces, risottos etc, (it makes excellent risotto) then it will be very useful. If 100 pounds matters to you, and if you have other uses for it such as buying food or warm clothes or heating your house, but you want the advantages of a small volume cooker, then no. In that case get the Amazon 4 liter or the 3 liter Prestige. They are both well reviewed, seem to be well made solid pans, and will do the job, maybe not as conveniently, but they will do it. They will save as well on fuel as this. They are a bit less versatile, but if money is a consideration they are going to be a better choice. If you want to cook more than a couple of liters at once, then this is also not for you. You want a 6 liter pan in that case. If you want something that will double as a slow cooker, and that can have the ingredients added, turn on and leave, get an Instant Pot. This (like all stovetops) should not be left to cook unsupervised. This pot is a bit of an indulgence. But it does some things better than anything else, and its a pleasure to look at and use. If you can afford it, and you want what it does, fast convenient cooking for two or three people, get it. But if you can't afford it, well, you can get 80% of what it does for 100.00 less from the ones cited above. Its a bit like the Bamix blenders. They too cost 5 times an inexpensive stick blender. But you will hand them on to your grandchildren. This is the same.

High quality pressure cooker, although the price is a bit high, it’s worth the money. Quality and usability are top notch, easy to use, and food comes out quickly and full of flavour.

Çok kaliteli ve hızlı pişiriyor.

Für alle Singles oder 2 Personenhaushalte kann ich diesen Schnellkochtopf nur empfehlen. Der angegebene Durchmesser bezieht sich auf den Innendurchmesser - diese Information ist wichtig für die Beschaffung von Gareinsätzen (gelocht, bzw. ungelocht). Ein Menükochen auf mehreren Etage ist leider auf Grund der geringen Bauhöhe des Topfes nicht möglich (max. 1 Einsatzträger flache Bauart und ein Gareinsatz). Der plangedrehte Bodendurchmesser hat einen Außendurchmesser von 17 cm (leider fehlt auch diese Information seitens des Herstellers (wichtig bei Ceran- und Halogenfeldern, sowie den alten Kochplatten). Bei Induktion ist diese Angabe nicht unbedingt erforderlich, da die Induktionsspule den Topfbodendurchmesser automatisch erkennt. Dieser Topf ist aus Edelstahl 18/10 (X5CrNi18-10) (Werkstoffnummer 1,4301, amerik. Norm AISI 304 (entspricht V2A). Die Außenfläche ist elektropoliert, wodurch eine noch höhere Korrosionsbeständigkeit erzielt wird. Schade, daß diese Topfgröße nicht als Seitengriffmodell lieferbar ist.

Muchas son las ollas de presión , la estructura de seguridad, y las válvulas de escape del vapor marcan las diferencias. Esta olla es hermosa, porque su diseño es muy inteligente, estético y de alta calidad. La olla pequeña me resulta para la vida en pareja mas comúnmente usable que las de 6-8 litros, los materiales y el diseño de primera, y es Hermosa.

J'ai mis longtemps à me décider pour la taille, car ce n'est pas facile de se rendre compte de ce que cela représente. J'ai finalement opté pour 2,5 litres, et la taille est parfaite pour un couple, voire plus. Il faut savoir que la valeur de 2,5 litres est la quantité maximale que l'on peut mettre dans le pot, mais le manuel dit bien de ne jamais remplir à plus de 2/3, ce qui réduit la quantité maximale. D'ailleurs, j'ai mesuré combien d'eau on peut mettre aux graduations 1/2 et 2/3, et j'ai obtenu 1,3 litres et 1,75 litres respectivement. Ça n'a pas l'air gros, mais une louche fait 10 cl, donc ça fait une quantité de soupe pour 8 personnes à 2 louches par personne si vous le remplissez au 2/3 (soit le maximum). Ce qui est bien suffisant. Le modèle vient avec une plaque en inox permettant de cuire des légumes à la vapeur. Le panier est vendu séparément. C'est un modèle très silencieux, vu que l'air reste à l'intérieur, et les deux traits sur l'indicateur sont gravés dans le métal, ce qui ne devrait pas bouger. Le manuel contient les références de toutes les pièces que l'on peut changer, ce qui devrait être le cas de plus de choses du commerce. Enfin, le système de fermeture est vraiment plus simple qu'il n'y parait : la poignée se bloque automatiquement dès que le système est sous pression, ce qui fait qu'il est impossible de l'ouvrir au mauvais moment. Bref, c'est assez cher, mais c'est un très bon autocuiseur pour moi.
