I am a daily user of pressure cooker, lived with pressure cookers my whole life. works good. I waited for a month to write this review to see if there is any problem I could spot. I have found only one issue with this model - the vent pipe in the side near the handles doesnt sit properly or go loose often, so if you see steam leaking for more than few minutes, it is time to give a poke with a fork or sharp object so that the vent is closed.
