Kuhn Rikon Pressure Cooker

Deciding for the right pressure cooker sure is a tough business. Besides the brands we already reviewed here, Presto, Fagor, All American, Nesco and Cuisinart, there is another player on the cookware market. Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker is known as a reliable and valuable product for meal preparation. I know that this brand will put you in a tough spot and you will have to consider its products in that quest for a perfect set of cookware. It's not easy to find the balance between affordability and functionality, but we got to do it.

You have to check out what Kuhn Rikon offers. To show you the quality of this brand, I will bring you closer to one of their models, a five liter unit. It is a piece of cookware that gets good grades in both design and functionality. It is made out of stainless steel and will endure in your kitchen for a long time. It's a bit heavier then its aluminum counterpart, but that should not be an issue in most cases.

Just like any other cookware out there, this one is easy to use too. You won't have to learn anything new, except for all those basic things you need to know with these types of cookware sets. This 5 liter cooker is safe, over pressurizing is not possible due to the safety features installed. You will find the same things being placed on any other cooker, be it from Hawkins, Fagor or Presto.

The size is enough for a small family, for up to three persons. If you have more family members and/or would like to use this pot for canning, then you should buy a bigger pot. I suggest you get a All American pressure canner if you want a bigger capacity. It is a bit pricey, but you do get the quality with the products from that brand.

This and all other models from Kuhn Rikon have a reasonable price. They are somewhere in the middle when it comes to quality, price and the overall value they offer. With the money you invest, you get useful features and functions that will satisfy your needs. I have to say there were never major flaws or issues with a 5 liter pressure cooker. It will serve you well for a long time. There is only one disadvantage, as I said before, but that is in case you need a lot of capacity.

In overall, Kuhn Rikon products are good products that would be a good choice for big number of households. Their durability and price are the main advantages, so you should definitely consider one of their models when you are buying new cookware sets for your home.
