I bought this cooker last black friday for $10 after rebate. Steam leak out after only one month. It was a scary moment. My familly used to cooking with high pressure cooker since I was little so I know how to use a pressure cooker and what to expect from a good pressure cooker.

I can't even return...

This is a perfect size for a small family - up to four or five. It does the job, dinner is done in no time at all. Great product.

Terrific product!

I am so glad I bought this pressure cooker, we just love it! It is so easy to use, safe and time-saving. My boyfriend thinks I'm the best cook ever. And it was on sale...what a bargain! I don't know why I wated so long to get it. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants a delicious meal in less time than ever. Also, I ordered online for pick-up at the store and that was a smooth process, they brought it right out to me.
