I love my pressure cooker. I have always wanted to get into pressure cooking. This makes it so I can cook anything that I would usually cook in the crock pot in about an hour. That means if some tastey pulled pork sounds good for dinner, but I forgot to start the crock pot in the morning, no problem. The unit is also good quality, stamped aluminum. It seals well, and works great. It also has a safety lock so you can't open it under pressure.
