Prestige Smart Plus Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker, 6L

Was a bit skeptical but had a pressure cooker years ago so decided to try.... so glad I did. Simple and easy to use with good results. Value for money, will save on your energy bills for sure, 1 cooker as opposed to 4 rings on and approx a quarter of the time for cooking, winner! Veg tastes fresh and seems to have more taste..... I cook without salt (due to medical condition) and everything tastes bland in the saucepan but with the pressure cooker wow! What a difference... not missing the salt. Easy to clean but please note I would go for 6 lts if there's two of you. 4 lts was too small but it would be ok for 1 person.

Durability

Works well

Pretty good and works on the induction hob. Overall quality and finish isn’t as good as our original Tefal one. Easy to use.

Have used the same model pressure cook for many years, excellent and easy to use. I wouldn't be without my pressure cooker.

Very rarely builds up pressure. You have to hold a cloth to blocm steam from escaping from various holes before it makes a 'pop' sound and pressure starts building (likd attached photo). This is dangerous and very likely to burn you. Needlessly complex weight and whistle also has no concept of timing. In regular pressure cookers you can count the number of whistles to know when to stop cooking. This has a constant stream of steam escaping. Not sure why prestige made such a weird and poor product when regular pressure cookers work perfectly. Wish I hadn't bought it.

This is a good bit of kit. I have had one for over 2 years now. When the new one arrived it was exactly the same but it constanly leaked steam before it reached pressure. I noticed a big gap between the top of the handle body and the stainless lid. On further investigation it was found the bracket on the steam vave was bent and interfeared with the steam weight. This caused the steam valve to be slightly open. It was not easy to fix!! The two screw holes in the side of the handle were miss aligned to the lid. After rectifacation the lid also needed slight bending adjustment to get the handle to sit snug (less than 0.5mm) on top of the lid. Works perfect now but the product should never have left the production line with this fault. If anyone has the same problem and there is a gap of over 1mm between the black top part of the handle and lid and it is constantly leaking steam before presurizing and the red button has popped up. I advise to send the unit back. Apart from this fault it is still an excelent product.

Arrived on time and straight into action. Several update on the old style and works happily on an induction hob.
