Cuisinart 6 Quart 1000 Watt Electric Pressure Cooker, Stainless Steel CPC-600

Amazon Customer: Owned one of these for 10 years, eventually broke down. Used it everyday. Bought into the hype and went with one of those new pressure cookers with their fancy names. They all broke within six months. Very happy to have it back and it's working exactly as I remember it. Hope to have this one for at least another 10 years.

Allen Ross: The ease and simplicity of this pressure cooker is what I love. After using an older cooker that you had to constatly adjust the stove burner for heat this unit is amazing. No more standing staring at the stove.

kjmac: Love this product. I am in control of how long I want to pressure cook something. Tougher cuts of meat come out moist and tender. A great product when your time is limited and you need to produce a great meal in less time. It is easy to use and clean. Very quiet to use. I an very happy with this product and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to save time in the kitchen. If you can cook the ideas are endless!

Freelance: I have had this for over a month and the bottom line is that I really like this pressure cooker. There are a couple of issues that I'll address as well. The rust spot and the smelly gasket.

*** Cooking: If you have experienced only stove top pressure cookers (we have 2 and they are huge)you can use this one without any issues. The only problem is the knee jerk reaction at first to keep checking it because that's what you do with the stove top one. This pressure cooker is a "set it and forget it" machine.

Loose meat sandwiches for dinner last night from a tough London Broil cut? - Fantastic!

Soup? - Easy, fast and tasty - not mushy.

Stews? Curries? Pulled pork? - Done them all. Fast, easy and tasty. Beef stew was 20 minutes after reaching pressure and home made mashed potatoes was a breeze to make. The potatoes did not disintegrate and the consistency and texture was perfect.

I don't use the browning feature because I have larger cooking surface with the stove pans and can do larger batches that way.

*** Instruction booklet: The only good thing here are the cooking charts, the recipes are okay as a general idea, but...

remyjsedlmayr: What a pleasure. My wife and I have been using this almost every day since we have purchased it. Every thing goes in it that we seem to cook. If it is bratwurst, we first pressure cook them and then grill them. They fall apart. Same with the Italian sausage. In goes the pasta. In goes potatoes for making mashed potatoes. We will cook roasts in it, then transfer it to the triple slow cooker we also purchased and then do the next course, put it in the slow cooker/warmer/, do potatoes, put it in also. Then when we are ready to eat, dinner is ready and our household will serve themselves when they are ready. Want delicious ribs? Want pulled pork, pulled beef. Then buy this product. We went through just about every recipe in the user manual they sent us, and they are great. We even use the pressure cooker to make taco meat. It turns out great. You do the prep, put it in, and walk away and do whatever you want, because after the pressure cooking, it switches to warm and stays that way.

The unit is simple to use, has high and low pressure settings, along with brown, saute, simmer, and warm. You set the menu, and the time, and it does the rest. ...
