Capacity of Pressure Cooker:

At 5 qts, this cooker is perfect for a family and sized for cooking a whole 3.5 lb chicken, a 4 lb roast or dinner for 6-8 persons. It is important to select the correct size of pressure cooker to meet your family's needs, as pressure cookers should be 2/3's full to operate efficiently. Kuhn Rikon has several sizes of pressure cookers available, from skillets to Hotel stock pots.

Cookware Construction:

Constructed of 18/10 stainless steel and designed with a solid thermal aluminum sandwich, this pressure cooker will provide even browning and rapid heat cooking. The stainless steel of this cooker will not react with foods and the pot is dishwasher safe. Internal fill lines provide convenient measuring guidance. This cooker comes with a 10 year warranty on all non-replaceable parts, materials and workmanship.

Safety Features:

Kuhn Rikon has over 50 years of experience with pressure cookers and you can tell they take safety features very seriously. This cooker has five over-pressure safety systems, is UL listed, and has an integrated automatic locking system. Always carefully read the product manual and follow cooking recommendations to ensure safe operation of pressure cookers.

Benefits of Pressure Cooking:

Pressure cooking allows you to cook in a fraction of the time, with less water, while sealing all the flavor and nutrients right in the food. Cooking with high pressure tenderizes even the toughest cuts of meat. You can cook long grain rice in 5 minutes, a whole 4 lb chicken in 10 minutes, chicken legs in 8 minutes and corn-on-the-cob in 2 or 3 minutes.
