Magefesa Star R 12-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker


Best cooker ever
I am no pressure cooker expert, but of the few I have tried this on is the best ever. It is very simple to use and clean up is easy. Just seat the lid and screw down the knob on top which lifts the bar to give a safe and secure seal. If the cooker builds up too much pressure, there are 3 safety features to release the excess pressure- the third being that the bar bends, which I think is pretty clever. If that ever happens the bar can easily be replaced through their web site ([...]).

For cooking it does a great job. I can cook pinto beans from dry to done in just 25 min under pressure. Unlike cooking them in a pot on the stove, they maintain their shape nicely since there is no stirring when using a pressure cooker as there is with stove top cooking. You can cook nearly anything in the pressure cooker in a fraction of the time with great results; soups, stews, stocks, potatoes, beans, meats, sauces, and more. So when the clock hits 4 and you realize that you forgot...

Magefessa 12 quart pressure cooker.....IT IS GREAT!!! THE BEST PRESSURE COOKER I EVER HAD AND I HAVE 4 RIGHT NOW.
Cheaply made
Our new Magefesa pressure cooker arrived yesterday. My husband began assembling the pressure cooker, using the horrible instructions provided with the cooker, and one handle cracked immediately upon turning the screw. I did not expect that a $200+ pressure cooker would have such inferior parts. Now we are stuck with a worthless cooker or have to pay $18 plus shipping to get a new handle. I haven't even used the cooker yet and I am already not liking this one. I should have stuck with another $30 model.
