WMF Perfect Plus 8-1/2-Quart Pressure Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I guess I am rhapsodizing over this pressure cooker but it's the 4th one I've tried and I must say I love it!
We remodeled our kitchen and our new cooktop is an induction model so our old (20+ year) aluminum PC no longer worked for us.
I tried Futuro, Kuhn Rikon and some other brand I don't recall. None was both thick enough to prevent food burning and with a simple and easy to use pressure system.
I cook daily for 6 or more and this cooker is big enough to meet all my needs. In the few days I've had it, I've made risotto - no burning, cheesecake - no cracking, chicken cacciatore and brisket. Every recipe was perfect when done.
Clean up is a snap - remove the handle and rinse under running water. Remove the sealing ring and wash by hand. Toss everything else in the dishwasher.
Did I say I love this pressure cooker? Yes, it's expensive but well worth it!
06/27/2010 Edited to add that the pressure release valve with the little ball in it cracked. I called WMF America and they were happy to send a new one. There were no customer service issues at all. The people I spoke to were helpful and courteous.
We still love our cooker and continue to get lots of use from it.

Oxo Good Grips Pop-Up Steamer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As far as expandable steamers go, this one is the best, as far as I'm concerned. The 3 folding legs are rounded, so you can use this steamer in a non-stick coated pot, without worrying about scratching it. The center post handle screws off, if it gets in the way when steaming certain foods, like fish. I also like how you can put a fork through the top portion of the handle (as the instructions suggest), in order to lift it out of a pot, without burning any fingers in the process. Although it's a little bit more work cleaning it, as opposed to a silicone steamer (that doesn't expand), I usually use it for vegetables, and use a silicone steamer for fish (easier to clean). If you're really into steaming your foods, get this one and a silicone.

The highly functional pop-up steamer offers a variety of features that make it easy to cook a variety of foods. A simple press on the handle pops the steamer up for added length, making it easy and safe to insert and remove. Freshly steamed vegetables are a snap. Press the handle again to lock it down for compact storage. For extra reach, a fork can be inserted into the handle. Folding feet make it easy to store the steamer and easy to elevate it by 1-3/4 inches, leaving room enough underneath for water. Simply unscrew the handle when the entire basket is needed for steaming larger items like fish fillets. The steamer is made to fit pots 8 inches in diameter and up.
