Pressure cooker: 1 bar/15psi: importance and Kuhn/WMF

[Anonymous Modernist 10142]

I have fully reviewed the WMF pressure cooker now, here are the highlights...

PLUSES:

-Should definitely be called a "14 psi" cooker (rounded up from 13.8psi) since other Euro-made cookers are called "15psi" (rounded up from 14.5 psi).

-Extremely durable - complexity is NOT it's downfall as I had earlier mentioned in this topic

-Very easy to tell when this cooker is in over-pressure (it toots!)

-Fantastic in-handle pressure release (no need to reach over the hot lid to release pressure). It's hands-off and you can even regulate how quickly to release pressure.

NEGATIVES:

-The cooking surface is rather small since the cooker is conical shaped the opening starts out as wide as the KR, but then the cooking surface is more narrow.

-The cook has to remember to "lock" the cooker to get it to reach pressure.

-I've had some unique problems with the handles (they want to stick or suction together)

Bottom Line: The Kuhn Rikon and WMF scored exactly the same. If anyone is reading this topic for the first time, my advice now is that you can't go wrong with either one. The choice comes down to choosing between a Mercedes and a BMW.
