Splendid examples of why modern, safe pressure cookers are popular with contemporary cooks, the 5-1/4-quart pressure cooker and 2-1/8-quart pressure frying pan in this set quickly and healthfully cook foods with trapped steam at temperatures higher than boiling. Two lids, which fit both pans, are included--the pressure lid and a glass lid--so one pan can be used to cook under pressure while the other is used conventionally. Made of heavyweight, mirror-finish, 18/10 stainless steel, each pan has two handles and an aluminum disk sandwiched in stainless steel in its bottom to quickly and uniformly conduct heat.
Using a pressure cooker saves time and 70 percent of the energy normally consumed while cooking. Pressure-cooking requires little water so nutrients, flavor, and color are not boiled away. Vegetables emerge vibrantly colored. Stews, soups, beans, even meat loaf and pork chops and desserts like bread pudding come out tasty and nutritious. (A detailed instruction booklet containing dozens of recipes is included.) Meats can be browned before the pressure lid is locked on. The pressure lid's valve stem shows high and low pressure so heat can be adjusted for different foods. After cooking, pressure can be reduced slowly (by just letting the cooker sit a while), normally (by pressing the pressure indicator), or quickly (by running tepid water on the lid's rim).
Safety measures abound for the pressure lid. A silicone gasket ensures a tight seal. A vent releases steam if pressure builds too high, as does a valve that also locks the lid when any pressure whatsoever is inside the cooker. Cleanup is a bit involved. The pans, gasket, and lid require hand washing, and the gasket needs a light oiling. Normally, the valve is self-cleaning, but if food passes through it disassembly is required.

We even tried few models from India but none could last more than a few years. Either they have problems with safety valves, handles, or they would become loose too often that requires tightenening of handles. If they last well, they were too bulky and takes almost forever to open and close the lid. Most annoying of all, they all make crazy sound that scares both my kids.Kuhn Rikon pressure cookers sure have expensive prices but once you see them and feel them, you will find every reason to agree that they are well worth the price. This particular 2 set model is so lovely that my wife decided to get rid of most of her cookware as they both compliment each other so well. They can be used for almost everything we cook for our daily needs. The lids are interchangeable. This makes it so convenient to pressure cook veggies and lentils and then...

(Edited April 2010), By A Customer This review is from: Kuhn Rikon 6-Piece Duromatic Duo Pressure Cooker Set (Kitchen) I purchased the Kuhn Rikon Duo Set recently because I had heard the 2nd generation pressure cookers are much safer and quieter than the older models. I have not been disappointed and am no longer afraid of pressure cooking! As a matter of fact, I have been so pleased with this set that I have been cooking with it at least 4 or 5 times a week. Our family is "back to two" again, and the pressure frypan is just perfect for a few pork chops, meatballs, or other small portions of meat. I love yams, but didn't serve them often because it takes about an hour and a half to cook them in a conventional oven. In my new pressure frypan, yams only take about 10 - 12 minutes, and they come out perfect every time with no "hard" spots. I have also used the pressure frypan for carrots and corn on the cob with excellent results. I am equally pleased with the 5L pressure cooker. The glass and pressure lids are interchangable between the 5L cooker and the 2L frypan, and the cookers are so quiet,...

Houston (Buffalo, NY USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Kuhn Rikon 6-Piece Duromatic Duo Pressure Cooker Set (Kitchen) Excellent set, easy to use and will last beyond its ten year guarantee. I use the pressure frypan to cook macrobiotic rice or oatmeal. After 50 minutes of high pressure cooking, I get perfect brown rice or oatmeal(no sticking or burning). Once you know the stove setting required to maintain pressure, you can almost forget it. However, as with any cooking device, I monitor it periodically. The pressure pot and frypan have flat bottoms which makes food preparation and cleaning a breeze. The glass lid was a major selling point, as it enables conventional use of both pots.My wife makes succulent turkey drumsticks in only eight minutes of cooking time. None of the other brands, we previewed, appeared to be constructed as well as the Kuhn Rikon models. Needless to say, our family considers this set a great value. More important,we use it almost daily. |
