Mirro 8qt. Pressure Cooker, Aluminum Reviews on December 16, 2011
| 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:  Cooks Great-Pressure Problem, By This review is from: Mirro 8qt. Pressure Cooker, Aluminum (Kitchen) I received this cooker for Christmas 2008 ( a Wal Mart purchase). It was my first pressure cooker, and it cooked wonderfully (though it was a bit tight for two chickens); until it failed. After about 6 uses, it would no longer establish pressure. The red pop up on the handle (indication that pressure was up and handle locked) started popping up to about twice the height it normally emerged from the handle (when the cooker worked) and steam vented from all around the handle junction with the lid. I tried everything the book said to do. The handle was tight. I inspected, streched and oiled the gasket. No luck. I called Mirro (Wearever) and they told me to boil the gasket for 15 min. and then oil it. I did all these things, to no avail. So I returned it. Now I'm going to try Presto. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:  Mirro 8 QT Pressure Cooker, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Mirro 8qt. Pressure Cooker, Aluminum (Kitchen) Mirro's are great. I've owned them for over twenty years. The newer one's are very quite, takes getting used to it from the old ones that made really made noise when releasing pressure, so you could here it in another room. Bought another brand a few years ago and it would not hold a pressure. Probable needed a new gasket, but for a little extra, I'd rather have the Mirro. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: Great Pressure Cooker, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Mirro 8qt. Pressure Cooker, Aluminum (Kitchen) I have been cooking with pressure cookers for 30+ years now. I had an old Mirro cooker (8qt) that I used for over 20 years. I had to buy a few gaskets over the years but it kept on working. The only reason that I had to purchase a new one is that I had cooked a chicken in it late in the evening and put the cooker out in the garage (it was winter) overnight. Believe it or not, a mouse got into the garage and chewed out the pressure check valve. I could not get a replacement because the cooker was so old!!! I bought the new one and I read the directions. Imagine my disappointment when I read that the cooker would not get hot enough on a ceramic top stove. I have had a ceramic top stove ever since they were invented and have used other pressure cookers on them with no problems whatsoever. Guess what? There was no problem with this one getting hot enough on the ceramic top either! It gets hot, gets to pressure and works just fine! Not sure yet if it will last 30 years like the old one...
