This mini pressure cooker is so convenient and easy to use. I like that is a stove top pressure cooker. I love it for making quick or side dishes like hard boiled eggs, steel cut oats, brown rice, parboiled rice, quinoa, vegetables. Easy to clean and easy to use, petite, stainless steel. Perfect for me.

I have purchased two of these and they are NOT dishwasher safe. I really like the small size and curved shape, so I was willing to put up with a lot (i.e., my bar was pretty low). Also, I have a lot of experience with pressure cookers and don't misuse them. I even purchased extra sealing rings, knowing the ring material is garbage on these (rubber, vs. silicone) and would fail. The first cooker died after about 6 months of light use. First, the sealing rings slowly disintegrated/broke down/hardened in the dishwasher, causing the pressure and efficacy of the cooker to slowly worsen. Then the small lid component (pressure gauge) fell off in the dishwasher and was lost down the drain. The second one died after about 3 months of moderate use. Same as before-- gradual loss of pressure (until I replaced the rings), then the lid fell apart in the dishwasher. This is a lovely, handy little pot, but I'm not willing to replace a stainless steel appliance every 3 months, and the choice to use rubber (vs. silicone) for the ring seems a bit intentional. I'm switching to a different brand.

Knowing that the SS cookers are slightly more expensive, still got a good deal. Delivery was on time and satisfied with the purchase.

Purchased about a week ago. Cooked basmati rice; lentils, vegetables, etc. Everything came perfect.Stainless steel quality is very superior and despite hand washing the vessel almost every day two times, the item looks as if new. The weight design and safety valve design are vastly different from the standard India made stainless steel pressure cookers. In traditional pressure cookers, the steam is not let out by placing weight on the top. Wherever there is excess water, it is leaked out thru the weight and the whole top gets spoiled and it needs a good rubbing for cleaning. If there is too much pressure on the safety valve, then it bursts. In Prestige, the excess water steam is let out thru the safety valve and after reaching proper levels, the safety valves locks itself automatically.The cooking is very fast and for cooking a cup of rice, it takes 6 minutes. Soaked Lentils about 5 minutes. The pressure reduces within 5 to 6 minutes and the cooker can be opened thereafter.Buyers beware! Though the capacity is mentioned as 2 liters, I found the capacity as 1.7 liters. The real maximum that can be cooked is 1.5 cups raw rice which expands to 3 to 4.5 cups based on the type of rice. Toor dhal is maximum 1 cup. One cannot 'pressure cook' with tip full and they should fill only to half level, leaving remaining capacity for expansion after cooking.My only resent is about the protective rubber/ sealing ring gasket, that is supplied with the cooker. One can purchase superior quality silicone sealing ring in different colors in the market. I wish Prestige provides the US customers with that kind of superior protective sealing ring.

I am very satisfied with this purchase. I have been grappling with metals in cooking for a long time. Cast iron is best but expensive, heavy and difficult to maintain. Most utensils in India are aluminium with or without several available coatings. Eventually, aluminium leaches in to the cooked food which is unhealthy. Stainless steel though preferred and best suited for Indian tadka cooking had its problem with scorching due to uneven heat. The thick bottom of this unit provides even heat for cooking. For me the handi itself is worth the price, pressure cooking is a bonus.

I actually bought this for one purpose mostly. To cook white Jasmine rice and it does it beautifully. It can cook 3 cups of rice finished that is actually 1 cup dry with cup and half of water and may be able to do a little more but not necessary for me and my husband as we always have leftovers anyways. But it is super fast and cooks to perfection every time. It is also soooo simple put rice and water in, wait and let it blow (whistle) 3 times for me (like my rice really cooked no crunch at all) and turn burner off. It takes about 15 minutes from beginning to end that includes putting in rice, closing lid, reaching pressure, whistle blowing and waiting for depressurizing. And to boot it is as cute as can be and cleans up perfectly as well. I have also used for small meals for one as I cannot eat beef anymore and when I am making something for my husband I want to just make something quick for myself and I can control temperature for long periods if necessary without any problem. I will worn you the first time it "whistled" I was not sure I loved that and it still scares the dog but it does not do it too much so can deal with the feeling the weight is going to fly off since the rice is soooo perfect.To finish this is better than any rice cooker I know!
