Fissler 021 644 06 000 Blue Point 6-1/2-Quart Pressure Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Fissler 6.5 qt pressure cooker is a thing of beauty. It's heavy, shiny and detailed to perfection. I did look at a Fagor at Macy's and wasn't impressed by the edges of the lid; it didn't seem that care was taken in the construction. Deciding to splurge on the Fissler because of the reputation of the company, I have no regrets. You can download the manual from their site if you'd like to familiarize yourself with the instructions and features.
If you've never used a pressure cooker before, remember the I Love Lucy episode where Ricky exploded the chicken and have concerns--don't worry. They have been rethought and reengineered to prevent such incidents. They are simply a pot with a locking lid. If you can drive a car, you can easily do this. There is a learning curve, mostly about time. Get a good cookbook on pressure cooking--anything by Lorna Sass will help--they all provide charts giving you an idea how long things will take to cook. Getting a Flame Tamer will also help--that's a round piece of cast iron that fits over the burner, you'll put the pressure cooker on top of that just to make sure the heat is even and the pot doesn't scorch.
If the idea of cooking foods in about 1/3 the usual amount time appeals to you, you need this.
