What is the difference between this "deluxe" version and the standard presto stainless steel pressure cooker?

Sorry - I don't know. I read the reviews on this one and bought it. Very glad I did because this one performs beautifully and works on an induction cooking surface.Just make sure you become familiar with the way the lid notches line up and you will be able to put it on and take it off with very light finger pressure.I would buy this one again without doubt!

I don't think there is any difference. I bought 3, the first one for myself. I wanted stainless, 6 quart and one of quality. That's why I picked this particular model. I kept putting in the word "delux" in the browser line and it indicated it was the pressure cooker I bought. When I left the word out, it still showed that it was the same pressure cooker that I purchased. I could find no difference.. Hope this helps!

Stock# 01365 & 01362 are both Stainless Steel 6 quart cookers that operate at 15 PSI, the difference is in the design.Stock# 01365 has an one additional feature "the pressure relief valve". This is a warning device that is designed to provide both visual (the blue cap lifts and steam comes out the sides) and audio (a fast, steady release of steam, often times accompanied by a continuous unpleasant sound) signals to indicate that the vent pipe has been blocked and is no longer regulating pressure and there is excessive pressure in the cooker.Please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-877-0441 or contact1@gopresto.com if you have any questions.

I replaced my original Presto after 25 years of use. I called and the Presto representative who was leaning towards the original due to my experience. I opted for the deluxe for a change in use. The deluxe has an additional release valve. I also noticed that the inside of the pot was curved rather than flat on the bottom. I have enjoyed using it for almost a year now.

The deluxe model states that the inner basket is stainless also. I think the non-deluxe model has an aluminum strainer.

There is more safty things on the delux model. this model locks the cover so you can't open it till it cools downIt also has one more blue safty valve on it.

looking at these items on ebay - the main difference seems to be dial control or digital control. My original one was a digital control (not like this new model) and honestly the problem I had was the digital button broke and I couldn't control heat. That is why I chose the dial this time

The 8-quart Presto Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker is manufactured in China, nevertheless it is an incredebly good pressure cooker. I use it at least once a week, but most times I use it twice a week and I am extremely happy with it. Jose I. Ferreiro

According to the manual that came with the cooker, it has two settings. Pressure one operates at 7 lbs. (7psi). Pressure two operates at 12 lbs. (12psi).

I don't know, I only have Presto pressure cookers, I think your chances are about 50/50...would seem smart to have standards.

I use this rack inside my stainless steel Presto pressure cookers, 4 qt and 6 qt sizes. The pressure cookers for which this rack was designed do not, to the best of my knowledge, have removable pans or other inserts of any kind, with the possible exception of the very large pressure canner, in which it is possible to use a canning jar rack/lifter. For over 30 years I have used the 85341 in the bottom of the pressure cooker to ensure both that liquid circulates freely around the food being cooked and that the food is not subjected to excessive burner heat from below. Hope this helps.

I read some reviews on cooking.com that said it only reaches 10 psi on high. I assume it's the same for both models.

I'm sure they both work perfectly, but as a general rule bigger is always better when it comes to pressure cookers. The 26cm pan has more surface area for browning food and has a larger capacity. You with be able to brown in fewer batches and have more flexibility in the amount of food you can make. You can always put a smaller batch in a larger cooker and get good results but it is never o.k.to over fill a smaller pressure cooker.

I actually have a Mirro pressure cooker. The number is on the bottom of my pan. I ordered a sealing ring was supposed to fit my pan, but it didn't. Evidently Mirro and Presto aren't interchangeable.

They are the exact same pressure cooker. The EPC-1200 model number is used when it is sold in some membership stores like Costco. http://www.hippressurecooking.com/forums/topic/cuisinart-cpc600-vs-epc1200pc/

I have a Presto pressure cooker. I would suggest looking at the bottom of your old pressure regulator and see how it's constructed. This one has an "open clover-leaf" type opening with four sections.

The only difference I can see between the two are maybe the finishes. One looks like it has a matte finish, while the other one is just the standard stainless steel.

14 1/2 to 15 psi. I installed a Presto pressure gauge and measured mine. ~14+ gently rocking. 15 with the rocker spinning moderately. You might also care to know that I checked Presto's replacement part numbers for the vent tube. Apparently all Presto pressure cookers AND pressure canners use the same vent tube. Savings from quantity manufacturing I suppose. THEREFORE, you can purchase the three ring 5-10-15 psi Presto Canner Pressure Regulator and use it for reduced pressure in any pressure cooker. And you can certainly use a pressure cooker for canning small jars.

No, it will not work on all Prestos properly. It works fine on my new cooker but I also have an old cooker (01/PA6) in which the regulator sits down in a well. This cooker came with a smaller diameter regulator. This new regulator will fit on it but would not be able to swing back and forth as far potentially raising pressure to a dangerous level. Presto does not carry a replacement for smaller diameter regulator.

I'm not sure, but I believe that Presto only makes one 8-quart stainless steel pressure cooker. This one fits mine.

Look up the model # of your pressure cooker, you might try Presto directly, and they will list the parts available. I have several older pots, and have good luck except for the large gasket. Love my pressure cookers!!
