Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of T-Fal 41523200 6-2/5-Quart Speedy-Chef Express Stainless-Steel Pressure CookerCustomer Review: Saves you time and money. Must have!!! Summary: 5 Stars
Got my pressure cooker a week ago. Only cooked Risotto and Beefr Stew in it. Loved the stew, my Italian family was very pleased with Risotto (big compliment for me). Risotto took about 15 minutes to cook, stew about 45 minutes.
I was scared to use it at first (yes, everyone knows those stories about food flying all over the place but do you actually know anybody it happened to? I don't.) I believe this is the only PC with a timer that starts counting down AFTER the pressure is reached. Very handy. Timer comes off for cleaning of the lid. I love the fact that it has 2 regular handles (not a long one like other pressure cookers that is not easy to carry when the pot is full). Everything is a push of a button (lock, unlock...), no twisting and putting in place, just push that button and it's closed.
About the recipes: I bought a book on Pressure cooking. Nice recipes but I always modify mine to what's available in my pantry and refrigerator. Cooker comes with a small recipe book, I shouldn't have bought another book as you can adapt any recipe to pressure cooking just knowing how much liquid to put in (that you can always get from that little book it came with).
Don't waist your money on books but DO buy this pressure cooker. It will save you time (everything that cooks for 1 hour can be done in 15 minutes) and ton of money (you save on gas or electricity and on produce as you can buy tough cuts of meet for a fraction of a price of steak and have a lot more flavorful meal). Recommend 100 %. Very easy to use.
P.S.: Someone mensioned cooling it down with cold water. I don't see why. And if you don't release the pressure all the way (turn the dial a little bit at the time and keep moving it towards steam picture only as steam subsides, you'll be fine, no mess at all).
For that customer who hated the thing: The only reason something would stick to it is if there is not enough water or cooked too long. It must be hard to go from slow cooker to fast cooker. Takes adjustment. Doesnt' take long to judge though.
