What can I say?  Pressure cooking has always been something my family's done and I do.  Its great for soups, stews, cutting down the time it takes to soak beans and any time you need to get a mead dish done in a hurry.  I've suitched to an induction burner and needed stainless steel.  The Presto is the same high quality as the aluminum one I used for decades.  A good price on a basic pot that works just like I expected.
