Review: Me gusto mucho esta compra; el tamaño es perfecto para mi marido y para mi; el material es fuerte y resistente.
Review: Paid $71.39 for this 8 quart aluminum pressure cooker - and I must say, it was worth it. I have an old 6 quart Mirro and it just didn't have enough room for a larger roast. (I'm now raising 3 grandchildren). I just tried it out and this 8 quart Presto was perfect with plenty of room for an almost 4 pound chuck roast (3.61lb) along with baby carrots, new potatoes, celery and pearl onions. I had about 2 inches of room at the top when all was added. My only complaint - the "rack" is very shallow. Not like the one I have for my Mirro that's about 1/2" tall. This one's maybe half that at best. So after adding the water for steam barely above the top, that didn't leave much room for error (as in running out of water). I had to watch it closely. (You can always tell when the water is gone by the smell - but by that time the inside of the bottom has gone dry and the residue has been baked on ... and it is not fun to clean although it doesn't usually hurt the roast). After about an hour and a half I had the heat down to just barely there with a very slight hiss - so it really holds the pressure well! Even though it was made in China, it would appear that you can still trust Presto for high quality!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the difference in cooking between the aluminum and the stainless steel pressure cookers**
A: The heat is the difference plus the cleaning. When I have cooked with the SS one that I had it handled the heat better without scorching. The aluminum has a lower heat rating(not mentioned anywhere just what I have observed). Also cleaning the residue from cooking from aluminum to SS different. But I am happy with my aluminum pressure cooker. There are a few small adjustments. The difference in price and size was important in getting a new pressure cooker for us. But If you don't have price in mind go with the SS. If price is a consideration/size the aluminum is a very GOOD purchase!!

**Q: Will 4 pint jars fit in the cooker?**
A: The jars may not fit, per the other answers.  However, here are the newest recommendations for water and pressure canning of tomato products:  https://nchfp.uga.edu/how/can3_tomato.html

**Q: What psi (pounds per sq. inch) does this cook at? Pressure cookers commonly come 15 psi (the fastest) but less-expensive ones often cook at 10 or 5.**
A: 14 1/2 to 15 psi. I installed a Presto pressure gauge and measured mine. ~14+ gently rocking. 15 with the rocker spinning moderately. You might also care to know that I checked Presto's replacement part numbers for the vent tube. Apparently all Presto pressure cookers AND pressure canners use the same vent tube. Savings from quantity manufacturing I suppose. THEREFORE, you can purchase the three ring 5-10-15 psi Presto Canner Pressure Regulator and use it for reduced pressure in any pressure cooker. And you can certainly use a pressure cooker for canning small jars.

**Q: does the regulator on top of the pressure cooker jiggle once it gets to correct pressure?**
A: All of our current pressure cookers(besides our 8 quart stainless steel model), will have a regulator that rocks.  If you have any questions regarding your cooker, do not hesitate to contact our Customer Service Department via phone at 1-800-877-0441 or e-mail at contact1@gopresto.com.  Thank you.

*by K***Y on 10 January 2026*

Same great quality as the Presto Pressure Cookers I used 45 years ago for canning & cooking. This one is a 4 qt capacity. Instructions easy to read, also clean easily. Noise level is quieter than the older models. I use these for dried soaked beans and fresh/frozen veggies. Used to pressure cook meats way back in the day which turned tough cuts into fork tender. I just wish they still manufactured the 2.5 quart, that was really handy for small amounts especially brown rice.
