6-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker

The Presto 6-quart stainless steel pressure cooker is a versatile and efficient kitchen tool that delivers fast, healthy, and flavorful meals with ease. Designed to cook 3 to 10 times faster than ordinary cooking methods, even faster than a microwave for many foods, this pressure cooker is a smart choice for busy home cooks.

One of the key benefits of this pressure cooker is its ability to preserve the nutrients and flavors of the food. By cooking under pressure, the food retains more of its essential vitamins, minerals, and natural taste, making it a healthier option compared to traditional cooking methods.

The pressure cooker's professional-quality stainless steel construction ensures durability and even heat distribution, while the heavy-duty lid locks down during cooking, and an inner sealing ring keeps the steam in. This pressure cooker is equipped with a pop-up pressure indicator and a simple steam release mechanism, as well as an overpressure plug that will release steam if it builds up excessively, providing added safety features.

The Presto 6-quart pressure cooker is suitable for a wide range of cooking tasks, from basic soup stocks to hearty stews and pot roasts, and even delectable desserts like 5-minute custards. It can tenderize lean cuts of beef or pork, and cook chicken, fish, or vegetables faster than a microwave, without sacrificing moisture or flavor.

Cleaning this pressure cooker is a breeze, as it is fully immersible and dishwasher safe, with the exception of the sealing ring and overpressure plug, which should be hand-washed. The vent pipe is easy to clean with a small brush or pipe cleaner, and the air vent/cover lock and overpressure plug are removable for thorough cleaning.

The Presto 6-quart pressure cooker measures 9 inches in diameter (17 inches including handles) and 8-1/2 inches tall (including lid), making it a compact and versatile addition to any well-equipped kitchen. Presto backs this pressure cooker with an extended 12-year warranty, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Included with the pressure cooker is a detailed instruction and recipe booklet, which covers special safety considerations and provides a wide range of recipes to inspire home cooks. Whether you're preparing a quick weeknight dinner or a more elaborate meal, the Presto 6-quart pressure cooker is a valuable asset that can help you create delicious, nutritious, and time-saving dishes with ease.
