What is the cooking pressure of this cooker?

Although we have SEB pressure cookers for 35 years, we have not seen an indication about the kPa overpressure. Instead of overpressure comparison between various cookers, I suggest to compare cooking time for the same food. My experience is that "slow" cooking using a pressure cooker gives the best results.

Not very long, approximately about 5 min's or so. It depends how full the pressure cooker is and the size. But it reaches the cooker pressure relatively soon. It really is a great cooker, you will love it!

I don't remember reading the PSI. One of the things I do like is that steam does not come out the top, Mr Chef adjustments itself unlike my non electric pressure pot that I put on the stove and have to adjust and adjust the burner to get the pressure set right. I also like that I can touch the sides when it is cooking so it is not heating up the house or putting humidity into the air, that is important here in Florida and elsewhere in the the summer. It cooks faster than the stove and makes everything tender also. If you are cooking for a family I think you will love this cooker as I do.

It does not have pressure settings, it is not electric. It is however an excellent pressure cooker!

The Nesco site says that high is 10 psi, which is higher than Cuisinart claims for their equivalent model, but not as high as other electric pressure cookers from Nesco and others go. They claim low is 5 psi.High on "normal" stove-top pressure cookers is usually 15 psi. So some recipe times may need to be extended, but the temperature still gets high enough to get all those good pressure cooker results. Though I love the convenience, I do wish that electric pressure cookers went higher.

PSI means pounds (of pressure) per square inch, I believe. So the higher the number, the greater the pressure the cooker can withstand. Yes, it can cook at 2 different pressure levels. You will see a red line appear on the pressure gauge as the cooker heats up. Some foods must be cooked on the first red line, such as rice. Other foods need to be cooked at the second red line, such as beans. The Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker has an excellent book that comes with it which explains these things. I have not been disappointed in my Kuhn Rikon. It is quite sturdy and saves me time in the kitchen. I really don't know what I did without it. Hope this answers your question.

there is no psi measurement device on the cooker. just high and low indicator

I have no idea,best to try and find the correct one from the manufacturer of the pressure cooker that you are using,if not even if it fits and doesent blow up I doubt it would be accurate. Good luck

275 watts--seems like too little but that's what's on the bottom of the cooker. This rascal really cooks!

I use this in my bakery in New Zealand for cooking diced Beef. I am pretty sure that the poundage would be 15lb's, judging by the amount of time it takes to cook the Beef and compared with my Tefal pressure cooker. There is only one level for this model as far as I can tell. The rotating dead weight pressure valve is the pressure indicator when it starts revolving turn the heat down until it is turning very slowly and cook for the required amount of time. I hope this helps. It is a very good pressure cooker.

Sholeh, unfortunately we only have this 6.5 quart pressure cooker. I apologize for the inconvenience!

It has two red rings on a center stem. On page 5 of the "Quick Cuisine" book that came with the cooker it states, "When the first red ring appears, the internal pressure has been raised 8 pounds per square inch above the external pressure." The second red ring is 15 pounds.

This is all I could find... hope it helps...higher altitude more time and liquid.. gg By:sailorgirl Location: sailing the upper Great Lakes Gear Style: Comfort Driven Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer PRACTICE BEFORE PACKING November 6, 2011 GSI pressure cookers seem to cook slightly slower than standard home use units. One document I read said they max. out at about 12.5 psi where houshold ones work at 15 psi. I've found that cook times for standard presure cooker recipies must be extended by a few minutes. It would be handy if the max. psi were given on the instructions or in the product description above. Also, don't be too conservative with liquids, especially where cook times get up to 20 min. or more (i.e. breads), as these lose a fair bit of steam out the pressure valve - not a failure, just a "design feature". Where a recipe calls for 1 C. liquid, go with 1.25 C., if 3 C. go with 4 C. Still, they're light weight and a good size for 1 person up to maybe 4. I use mine on a boat and it lets me eat well on long trips.

I am not sure whether you ask about the product in amazon or in general. In prestige model though, we have a 10-litre and that's the max i guess. Please visit http://prestigesmartkitchen.com/home/search?q=pressure+cooker

I would buy the exact same pressure cooker that I have which is the Kuhn Rikon 3342 5 1/4 Quart. Just used it yesterday to make a boneless leg of lamb and it came out great. This pressure cooker has been performing consistently for the 1+ year that I've had it.
