Used thus last night and works like a charm. Easy to assemble the handles. You peopke that haven't ever used a pressure cooker just be sure to read the instructions. You put a tough piece of meat ib there abd in 35 to 40 minutes after you let the pit cool down for at least five minutes and leave valve on top until you cool it down. Run a little cool water over top then remove valvefrom top then open. Good cooking.
