I needed a 4-quart stainless steel sauce pan and a stovetop pressure cooker.  This Presto cooker doubles nicely for both.  I already own an 8-quart electric pressure cooker but wanted something smaller for the smaller meals.  So far I have used it as a pressure cooker 2x, searing meat 1x, and sauteing unions 2x.  I'm glad I went this route instead of buying this Presto cooker and shelling out another $50-60 for another stainless steel sauce pan.
