The Reviews
The durability of this product is what’s mostly making the customers happy. There was even one customer who said that with this kind of durability, you may be able to pass this on to your children. It is also very easy to use, according to the users. The product provides instructions, which, according to most were very easy to follow. Most of them said that it cut their cooking time to more than half, which is great, especially for those who are very busy.
This cooker is also great for people who cook for a lot of people, caterers, maybe, or those who hold parties regularly. For those who want to serve only themselves or only two or three people found this quite hard to maneuver. Some said that it’s too big and too heavy for everyday lifting and cooking. The height may also be too tall for some as it may require 16 inches of free space.
Another thing that a lot of users loved is that it doesn’t need a gaskets. Most people find that the gaskets should be replaced quite often and were inconvenient. Without the need for a gasket, everything is much easier.
The customer service also received a lot of positive reviews. They said that they were immediately able to get their product really fast after they’ve ordered.
There were some negative comments on the lid, however, as one couple said that they literally had to pull the lid off even after the pressure has gone down to 0psi. Maybe with a lot of getting used to and a lot of use, this problem could be solved.
For those who are new to the process of canning, the product comes with canning techniques and recipes for your convenience.
