Make no mistake, you are getting what you pay for with these -- a relatively cheap stainless-steel version of the old Presto (aluminum) classic. Jiggler pressure control is just a scary as the original. It's just heavy enough to get the job done. I bought this as my "second" pressure cooker. I take it traveling, on extended campouts, etc. and leave my more delicate T-Fal at home. It's nice to save fuel and time wherever you go and this cooker gets the job done.
