is there an indicator when it reaches the right pressure? is it easy to tell? interested in 4 qt or 6 qt models. thanks

Yes. There is a wee yellow button that pops up as the pressure increases. It is situated just ahead of the yellow locking switch on the handle. As the pressure falls, it also drops back level with the handle and you know it is safe to open the lid.

there are two settings (high and lower) and you can tell by a button that pops up when you get there. don't try to get there too fast. the 4 would be too small for me. i got the 10 for a good price and you can do more things with it. remember that about 20% of the pot is left empty. good luck and good cooking.

Yes there is a tiny yellow button or tab that pops up its built in the handle i have the 8qt and love it

When the orange button pops up and the steam begins to escape from the knob. Nevertheless, keep in mind, the louder the sound of escaping steam suggest you may want to lower the flame. Otherwise, you run the risk of burning the food.

I had the same thing also. The check valve i got from lowes was not good. There is one on here, I think its called the Quiet check Valve. Its clear and white. I added that and i done even hear my pump run. I had to go down to listen and make sure it worked. No thud or gurgling. Great addon. Also its clear so you can see what the check valve is doing. I love my liberty pump with the valve i was walking about.

The best way to find out is to try it. It's purely mechanical, and the adjustments are not completely independent. Make sure you get a model of this product that has the low-pressure cutout. It's a new addition. Also buy a model with the highest pressure range you can find. There may be differences other than adjustment among those models. I like your idea.

Did you not get a 6 qt. pot with the pressure cooker? Mine does not happen to be stainless steel...it has a sort of Teflon coating, but better! Therefore, I cannot answer your question. Perhaps you might try to contact the company and ask! Hope this helps!

Hi! It was advertised as 12, then 10, then 12 qt. I wanted it so I didn't care, though I think it is a sleazy practice! It is only 10 qt, but is a good looking item and does what they say it will.(And "10 qt" is indeed stamped on the bottom). And I bet the "new" one I see advertised is also a 10 qt! Good luck!

Make sure you get the one that fits 6qt. I bought the wrong one for my 5 qt.

I really don't know. There is no indication on the machine that shows pressure levels.

Hmmm.. Did you know this compressor is sold all over the internet? Many different brand names but the same compressor. I just bought mine so I can't confirm the complaints, but it seems to me that there is a tank associated with this one. It's supposed to cut off after the pressure reaches the limit that is set. If you don't know anything about compressors, you should really read up on them before operating.

Hi: I bought the pump to use with an HO scale river lock on my layout. It seemed to work fine at first when I was testing things. I was able to pump about 1 quart every minute which was fine. When I put it all together the pump would work fine for a minute or so then stop or slow to just a trickle. New batteries did not help. I did not think of the back pressure and that could be my problem. I replaced it with a small pond pump. Good luck. Steve

I don't know the exact pressure. The website for the product could tell you that. I can tell you the machine is amazing. In love it. Works great!

This is the text of a comment, with additional info., that i posted on another Fagor Chef pc question: "...In addition, here's some important info that I put as a comment to one of your other responders: I agree with C Jacobs about the erroneous information presented in the Chef demo video about the pressure ring gauge. In that video the "chef" states that there are 3 pressure level indicator rings on the gauge. There are only 2, one for high pressure and one for low pressure. There is no third ring showing that the pc is pressurized. However, there is a separate pressure indicator rod that pops up to indicate that the pc is pressurized. At this point the rings on the pressure gauge will start to show as the pressure increases. I have found that the pressure gauge with rings is a somewhat imprecise measure of the level of pressure in the cooker. When I have the pressure dial set to the 2d position (hi) on my pc the pc pressure gauge will barely get to the 2d ring position before steam will FORCEFULLY vent from the hole in in the center of the pressure dial. I believe that this pc is designed so that the proper pressure is achieved at either dial setting 1 or 2 when steam vents continuously and gently/moderately from the hole in the center of the pressure dial--per some of the language on setting the pressure dial in the owner's manual and when proper pressure is achieved. Use this in addition to the pressure gauge rings to determine the correct pressure when using the Chef pressure cooker."

Does not have a low water warning but is really easy to tell when water is running low . The PSI gauge and performance of the unit will let you know . I am very happy with this and have been using it almost non stop since I bought it .

Hello, I have a release valve pressure gauge on my unit. When I press to button air is released into the tire. I read the new pressure and decide if the ire needs more air or not. If air is not being released try pressing the small valve at the stem? If air does not come out then you have a problem with the hose connector. Hope that helps. The unit has work fine for me.

Mine has markings for quarts and liters, but unlike the other reviewer's, the markings on my pot are NOT easy to read. They are so faint that they are invisible unless the pot is tilted to the light in exactly the right way. My pot is old, so I wonder whether the newer ones are marked more clearly? Anyway, the markings are there!

We had the same question. The numbers don't correspond to anything except stuff for the manufacturer. You can tell the flow by squeezing the nipple. Super easy to tell that way. Hope this helps - we LOVE our baby grow up set!

I had to get the pressure above 30 to 40 pounds before the gauge started working. After that it seemed to work fine although it's a little bet hard to read because it's so small. It also took a lot of pumping to get the pressure to 75 psi.

Hey Johnny, The pressure is good, but I had to return it after 5 uses because it stopped working. I've read the same complaints from water pic users. I liked the product overall. Maybe I just got a bad one.
