Why do they call this device "pressure cooker (uncooked)"? What does "uncooked" mean here in model name? Thx

Ya, weird verbiage. They seem to be referring to the ability to both cook and warm rice. This thing is totally worth the money though.

They mean 5.5 cups of (uncooked) rice. They just mixed up the word placement.

It sounds like a defective cooker. Apparently the temperature sensor inside the unit does not know what is going on.I would try contacting the manufacturer.

ALL pressure cookers can be dangerous. Read all instructions carefully and follow them...it will then be "safe".

Many of the Fagor line are new, go to the Fagor America website to see which are the latest pressure cookers, as I believe they have 5 current models, but they may not all offer the 6 qt size. I have the Futuro model and choose this due to the short handles for storage in the cabinets, it is a great feature.

I only have the skillet sized one, and have given three to relatives as presents. I love it too! It cooks about 3 times faster than my larger Fagor pressure cooker, and is absolutely perfect for cooking smaller quantities since it's just my husband and I. It's fine for entrees for four people, and soups and stews for six or so. Less water because it's smaller. I hope this helps.

Sorry, cannot answer as I bought this as a gift, however they love this pressure cooker, it has exceeded their expectations and can cook entire meals in 15 minutes.

Good question, Raymond. Perhaps I don't need to think of it in terms of the way I think of a traditional rice cooker. FYI for the masses - Cuisinart returned my phone call to let me know that I should *not* use the pressure cooker for full-day rice cooking. As said, though, it's a moot point!

Actually, I don't remember but it did come with instructions on how to use it, filling it, adding liquid, etc. I had already had a cookbook for pressure cooking, so I only looked at the information and checked it with my cookbook. Sorry I can't be of more help, but this pressure cooker is a real time saver!

Yes, the same as Bruno answer. You also could just unplug the pressure cooker. If pressure is built up, you must wait until the pressure has released (by either moving the release value or just naturally letting the pressure go down).

Yea we had the same problem. I think there's a problem with the seal, so it won't steam. We just returned it and gave up on it. If you've got a pressure cooker or even just a steamer + a blender you can make your own without baby food without this overpriced piece of defective garbage.

Hi Monica...I did not notice that it is not the electric pressure cooker...the ring is for the electric one. More then likely not the same.

"premium quality, mirror-polished stainless steel"NO, it is not teflon-coated and with the high pressure-cooker temps while cooking, it is probably best NOT to have teflon inside as it may peel, especiallyif it is not a high-quality cooker, such as Mirro and some of the others.I have had mine for some years now and when the rubber gasket stopped working because it was stretched and so used, they sent me another FREE.I didn't expect that. I did not have to pay shipping either. Maybe it was because I told them how much I loved the pressure cooker and how long it had lasted me ;-) "premium quality, mirror-polished stainless steel"NO, it is not teflon-coated and with the high pressure-cooker temps while cooking, it is probably best NOT to have teflon inside as it may peel, especiallyif it is not a high-quality cooker, such as Mirro and some of the others.I have had mine for some years now and when the rubber gasket stopped working because it was stretched and so used, they sent me another FREE.I didn't expect that.

I, also, have difficulty with this pressure cooker. The instructions were not well written and didn't fully explain how to operate. I haven't found any easy answers that will help. I'm thinking of trying a different brand.

I'm sorry. I actually don't know. I really use it more in its raw uncooked state. You can ask the company. They answer questions quickly.

There was a 7-digit number on the label on the bottom of the pressure cooker. I used this number when I registered the cooker. I'm not sure if this was the serial number, but it was the only number I could find.

It's a great pressure cooker that I have ever used. I can cook dishes faster, but taste better. I love it!

I don't know and didn't expect much of one because this product is just a pressure cooker that boils water and shoots out a lot of steam. It's great for what I bought it for which is cleaning grease off of very small, hard to get to areas on my old military rifles which are coated with preservative grease. If it makes you more comfortable, I've had this steamer for about two years now and it's worked flawless every time so far!
