Is it at least 15 psi?

If its anything like the Cooks Essential model (K41143) recently sold on QVC (it looks identical to mine) the manual states its 12 psi. I saw a Q&A; posted about the psi and they said since 12 is only a little less than 15 psi so it takes just a minute or 2 longer to cook than a 15 psi.

No, it is about 10.25 psi. I could not find any electrics like this that were 15 psi. Adding a few minutes gets the equivalent in terms of doneness of a given food. But, it doesn't reach the magic 250 degree point. I highly recommend this item. You don't need to add extra water to offset steam loss In cooking because this appliance controls temperature in order to control the steam pressure. Little, if any, water is lost to steam exiting the appliance.

Standard from the owners manual says "750-850 psi." I didn't make any adjustments and it works more than efficiently on my marker.

The pressure gauge on my unit redlines at 144 psi. I doubt very seriously that it will deliver anything close to that.

It all depends on what his air compressor puts out. I would say 150 psi he wouldn't have a problem.

No. Mine has pressure reading off 2-3 PSI. Since I know this I just adjust accordingly.

not sure. It failed on me after a few weeks of high pressure use with water. (80 psi).

Haven't had a need to go that low. It is adjustable and I have increased the max from 35 to 50 PSI. Suggest you contact the manufacturer.

hi there. there is no 15psi. its 12 psi for the 2 setting and 7psi for the 1 setting. i then add a few minutes to the cooking time for a 15psi need. it really isnt that big a difference and you will get the same results. promise. I love my pressure cooker to death and use it for everything from whole octopus to potatoes. mmm

PH, I assume that you are at an elevation wher 15 pounds is needed so to answer your question, it is yes. That is why experts advise having their pressure gauge tested every year or so. Using the weight, there is no need to be concerned if the gauge is off a bit. Although 1 psi would not be critical, the rules have always been strictly black and white with no gray area between.

I operated it at 90 psi and had no problems..not sure what manual reads do not have time to look it up

70-75 psi seems to work well. more pressure does not appear to have any greater effect. Hands down, one of the best purchases I have made in some time. I only use 110 volts. It has been more than adequate for my needs.

There is a minimum pressure of 30 psi because of the thin sidewalls. The maximum is 70 psi , but I max at 60 due to the less than smooth roads I must commute over.

Pneumatic inlet pressure required for operation is as follows: min (40 psig) up to max (150 psig).

Not sure, I think it is about 125 psi. However, I never put more than about 100 psi in it. I always play it on the safe side. I think it also has a safety pop open valve to release pressure just in case you start to over fill it.

Hi Karen,One thing I found out is that other pressure cookers have a PSI of 15 and the Instant Pot is only 11. So I have been adding extra time to most recipes and everything has been turning out alright.

Hi the stay good we suggest the pressure to 15 psi and it stay there am happy whet the pump

Per the docs its 2.2 gpm @ 60 psi. For us, its feels pretty robust, maybe because the previous one was quite old.
