Bought this item for my mother. She called and told me that I have to buy one for myself that it is the best cooking device in her kitchen (and she owns every gadget you can imagine). She says it cooks to perfection. She was impressed with the real cookbook included, not a phamplet like you usually get with crockpots and such. She loves it! (I'm talking about a person who is very hard to please and has been cooking for a family of 7 for 50 years). So it must be good.

If you or someone you know are the type that likes to cook at home and are savvy enough to figure out how to research and apply to the kitchen, then this is an ESSENTIAL piece you must have. I am formerly a chef from my younger years but, I haven't lost my passion for home cooked meals that are much much better than going out and cheaper. Anything they do, we can do at home if you only knew how. This cooker WILL get you a few steps closer to 5 star meals. If you don't know your way around the kitchen and want to, this will fool your guests and family to think that you already do. You do not need to be a chef to use this....

We make a point to eat as a family at least once every week so, I gave this as a gift to my mother for her birthday. We have had BBQ'd chicken, my favorite pot roast, & chicken noodle soup. The recipe for bbq'd chicken was in the book that came with it but, we altered it to our liking, mainly using the cooking times listed in book to improvise for the quantity of meat we used. WE HAVE NOT MADE A LESS THAN STELLAR MEAL YET!! No exaggeration. No left-overs is all the proof I need. We were getting tired of the same meals over and over again, and now our capabilities and options have been stretched to new hieghts. We are only limited by our enthusiasm and imagination. Tender and really delicious meat and vegetables at incredible speed. There are thousands of RECIPES online for free I can't wait to try.

If you use some logic and do a little homework on what pressure cooking does to different ingredients there is no reason you will not love this. The timer and settings are not hard to use but, I recommend that you read the book if you've never used one. When you use the browning setting for your foods 1st, I HIGHLY recommend a grease catching screen that you cover open frying pans with. They are flat circles with a handle to keep grease from popping everywhere and burning yourself. It browns really well and stirring the food with the grease popping is tricky and painful. (High temp browning in any pan spits hot grease, not just Emeril's.) Which makes me think that You can just brown the food in another pan and then dump into the cooker might be easier for some to do. Or get long wooden untensils and you'll be fine. After you set it, it doesn't start the timer until it's up to temp and it spurts a little steam out of the valve after the first 3-5 minutes. After it reaches proper temp and pressure you will know the timer should be starting. Trust it and Do not worry when it doesn't start counting down immediately. Lets it do it's thing until the timer goes off. When you release the pressure give it some room to geyser out a few feet above. We do it under the hood in the kitchen. The steam is only hot right at the opening and doesn't burn. Your wood cabinets will get a steaming if too close and that isn't good for them.

Great for serving 4-6 people that can eat their share. It's incredibly easy to clean. It feels study and the design is quality made. I will always have a pressure cooker in my home after this. I cannot believe I didn't get to use one sooner. I'm sure there are nice ones out there but, Emeril and TFal did it right on this one.

WE ALL LOVE THIS ADDITION TO THE FAMILY. End of story...

Cut the solid pieces of food a little smaller. Potatoes and carrots that are large and dense block the internal liquid from rotating around the food creating burn spots where temperatures are trapped under food. It shuts off without running the timmer as a safety feature. If it ran cycle with warning you it would be really burnt 20 min later. READ THE BOOK. THERE ARE LIMITATIONS TO THE CAPACITY OF ANY POT/PAN/COOKER. THIS ISN'T BIG ENOUGH TO FEED AN ARMY. If this isn't a helpful review, you are special in many ways.

Bought this for my husband to cook with. He is very happy with this cooker. Cooks perfect. Uses it about every other day. The only complaint i have, the teflon on the inside pot blisters and peels after a while.

First of all, I continue to be favorably impressed with Amazon and its customer service policies, and fully intend to continue as an Amazon customer.

The Emeril Electric Pressure Cooker was the one item of its kind that had no negative feedback. So I went with it.

I found that it had many of the same negative features that other reviewers had posted about other similar items. Totally frustrating. Could not get it to work properly. Most of the time it would just shut down without coming up to pressure. Tried taking some contents out, adding more liquidstill no luck. It would come up to pressure, and then turn off without going the full cycle. Tried it 8 times, to no avail. Read the manual over and over. Tried all the suggestions. No help. Tried rotating the inner lid as it suggested, and burned my hand on the lid. Very badly designed product. Bad QC. How could Emeril put his name on this?

What food did come out was burned and overcooked, even though it never ran out the timer!

The unit sputtered and hissed and leaked. Too bad. I had owned another pressure cooker (that company no longer makes them) and it did a great job till it wore out.

I hope that someday, someone will make a reliable pressure cooker. They're great when they work. If you find one, please let me know.
