Buy Kuhn Rikon Duromatic Inox Pressure Cooker (20cm), 3.5 LitreKuhn Rikon Duromatic Inox Pressure Cooker (20cm), 3.5 Litre Product Description:
Product Description
Whether you’re cooking soups, meat, vegetables or potatoes, or even sterilising babies’ bottles, everything is more relaxed with the Kuhn Rikon Duromatic pressure cooker and it’s up to 3 times faster than conventional cooking methods too. Risotto in 7 minutes? Crème Caramel in 10 minutes? No problem with the Duromatic.
This 3.5 litre Kuhn Rikon Inox Pressure Cooker with long handle has a timeless design, is easy to use and is a practical classic.
The aluminium heat-conducting base is especially thick and ensures rapid and even heat absorption on all heat sources, including induction. Three safety release systems and stay cool plastic fittings are all included in the design for your safety in the modern busy kitchen.
The interior of the pan features ½ and 2/3 fill level indicators. You can brown meats in the pan before the lid is locked on, or use the pan without the lid. Easy positioning triangles allow you to close the lid with the minimum of fuss, whilst all models in the Duromatic range feature the fully-automatic locking system which prevents opening while there is still pressure in the cooker. As the food begins to boil, any air present in the pressure cooker will firstly escape through the spring-loaded pressure valve and then the valve cap will move up. The pressure indication lines become visible and you are able to cook effortlessly at low (0.4 bar) or high (0.8 bar) pressure by adjusting the heat. You can then just enjoy the peace and quiet and once your food inside is ready, the pressure can be released in three safe and easy ways.
Cooking with the Duromatic takes about 1/3 of the usual cooking time, with an energy saving of up to 70%. This saves you money and is also good for the environment. Vitamins are sealed in, instead of boiled away, vegetables keep their bright colours and flavours are so intense less seasoning is needed.
Pressure cooking can be daunting, but the Instruction Manual included with your new purchase includes an extensive table of cooking times as well as cleaning and care recommendations to get you started and enjoying the benefits of this heavyweight, stainless-steel beauty. And if you needed any more encouragement to get cooking, there is also a Fresh Food Fast recipe booklet which includes at least 20 delicious ideas, including tips on how to use your new pressure cooker to produce jams and chutneys, Christmas pudding and Curried Chicken Casserole in a fraction of the normal time.
The cookware is guaranteed for 10 years against faults, but excludes normal wear and tear. Replacement parts are available separately.

The best
By Bluebell
I am a devotee of pressure cookers. I've used pressure cookers for over 40 years (I started young!) and think that this brand is the best. I have 3 small and 3 large (tall) ones that cover small and large quantities. I've still use one of this brand I bought 30 years ago. I cook virtually all vegetables that are normally cooked in water/stock in pressure cookers. If I can give a tip from long experience, don't put the veg on the shallow trivet supplied with the cooker, instead use a steamer basket that that lifts the veg well above the level of the water as this ensures that your vegetables are effectively steamed quickly and don't get soggy. Things like cabbage, cauliflower, potatoes and swede are much nicer done this way than when boiled in water. Floury potatoes for mash aren't soggy and fluff up beautifully when mashed.Another benefit, is that once the pressure has been released, the veg can sit on the trivet above the hot water to keep warm until served without spoiling.Suet puddings, such as steak and kidney, cook much more quickly than merely immersed in simmering water as do dried beans and cereals such as barley.The only caveat to pressure-cooking is that timing is of the essence. You need to use timers with minutes and seconds. For example, broccoli florets need less than a minute (depending on taste) after full pressure is reached.

By P. BALCON
It's the bottom of their range, but it's still seriously good. Beautifully made and does the job. Much friendlier to use than my old Prestige Hi-Dome, and easy to keep clean. That about covers it!!

By Don
A couple of years ago I bought a WMF pressure cooker. I have always had problems with it losing steam through the gasket in the lid, so I decided to replace it with a Kuhn Rikon. It looks good, is not too heavy, but the main thing is that it is completely steam tight. I have seen many pressure cookers over the years and they all leak some steam but this one is the exception. It means that it is totally quiet and you finish cooking with exactly the same volume of liquid as you started. A remarkable performance.
