I have owned and used 3 Presto Pressure Cookers in the past 35 years, they are the best! I owned another brand for a short time, it did not perform the way my Presto does, so I gave it away! I have never had any problem with my pressure cooker's, Presto is very easy to use, just be sure to use the right amount of liquid with whatever you make, after time you will be a pro and will be able to make up your own recipes, it is fast, and makes the most toughest cut of meat super tender! I usually cook my 7-bone roast for 45 minutes, and the meat just falls apart! Great for cooking Artichokes too, add 1 1/2 cups of water, your Artichokes, place the lid on and when the cooker comes up to pressure, reduce heat to a slow rocking (the pressure regulator you put on the top of the lid) and cook for 15-17 minutes depending on the size of the Artichoke, they will be perfect! Do your own experimenting and enjoy the cooker, you will be hooked just like me!

As some others aparently couldn't figure out, this pressure cooker has a cleverly designed safty interlock in the cover that will prevent you from opening it if there's still pressure in the pot. This is so that you won't burn all the skin off your face with high pressure steam. If you want to open it right after cooking, you have to run cold water over it to cool it, which reduces the pressure.

As for it's cooking ability, it's amazingly fast. Things that normally take several hours to cook (e.g. dry beans) take only 1/4 the usual time, or less. My only complaint is that it's not big enough for large meals -you can't fill it more than 2/3 full.

Honest reviews on Presto 01241 4-Quart Aluminum Pressure Cooker

Our 20+ year old 4 quart Presto pressure cooker has had at least half a dozen gasket replacements. We're pretty old, so I thought it was time to get my 79 year old cook, and lovely wife of 55 years a bright new pot instead of just another gasket.

The old one worked well for all these years, and the new one already has a dozen or more cooking cycles on it and appears to do as well as the one it replaced.

BTW: we replaced a 6 quart Presto at the same time and the comment is the same on it.

My 4-qt. pressure cooker arrived (Presto Mod.#01241), and the handle that attaches to the pan has one center screw. Unable to tighten securely. I then ordered a high temp./very strong brand of lock tightener (cost more than the pressure cooker). No help. Very disappointed. The handle that attaches to the cover has two screws, making a very secure fit. Could Presto re-design the lower handle to attach like the upper onewith two screws? I hope so, because the Presto brand is otherwise the best of the lot.
