 WFM - Wonderful, Fabulous Must-have Dec 15, 2007
By MK
I guess I am rhapsodizing over this pressure cooker but it's the 4th one I've tried and I must say I love it!
We remodeled our kitchen and our new cooktop is an induction model so our old (20+ year) aluminum PC no longer worked for us.
I tried Futuro, Kuhn Rikon and some other brand I don't recall. None was both thick enough to prevent food burning and with a simple and easy to use pressure system.
I cook daily for 6 or more and this cooker is big enough to meet all my needs. In the few days I've had it, I've made risotto - no burning, cheesecake - no cracking, chicken cacciatore and brisket. Every recipe was perfect when done.
Clean up is a snap - remove the handle and rinse under running water. Remove the sealing ring and wash by hand. Toss everything else in the dishwasher.
Did I say I love this pressure cooker? Yes, it's expensive but well worth it!
06/27/2010 Edited to add that the pressure release valve with the little ball in it cracked. I called WMF America and they were happy to send a new one. There were no customer service issues at all. The people I spoke to were helpful and courteous.
We still love our cooker and continue to get lots of use from it.

Good pot and a bad cook Jan 27, 2008
By K. YI
I would not have bought this item if Amazon offered this unit for $100, for I've had various pressure cookers in the past that lasted worthy of that much money. What a pleasant surprise; It's been more than 2 years of regular use and abuse, and has not encountered any problem whatsoever. I'd not mind spending full retail price knowing that how well this thing is engineered and built.
Its innovative pressure indicator feature, the thing that pops out, informs user to set optimal heat setting while preventing a possible explosion. Once temperature of cooking matter has reached maximum temperature with full heat applied, usually 30-40% of maximum heat is all that's required to retain highest temperature; this is important if one cooks over 3 hours like I do. Compare to 10 hours of continuous heating at full heat with conventional pot; saves big on utility bill, all precious human time and unpleasant odor left by boiling something for such long time. Pressure relief valve is the best design I've seen so far, in safety and functionality aspect. I can see that people actually used their brain to work when designing this unit, and I appreciate that greatly.

This is a wonderful pressure cooker. Nov 06, 2008
By Soccermom
"aka World's Worst Speller"
This pressure cooker performs flawlessly and cleans up easily and beautifully. This cooker is rather tall, but I like that. If I brown meat or chicken in the pan before cooking, splatters are nicely contained.
This pressure cooker is very safe and easy to use---nothing like my mother's "scary" pressure cooker.
I have called WMF customer service (not because of a problem, but rather with questions re use) and I've found their customer service excellent.
I highly recommend this pressure cooker.

A seen on Alton Brown's Good Eats Jan 12, 2007
By Erich Brueschke
This is the unit used by Alton Brown on many Good Eats episodes. It is made in Germany and is the best of the best.
I love it and use it almost everyday.
The Good: Simple to use. Easy to clean and indestructible.
The Bad: Nothing
Bottom Line: Good enough for Alton, good enough for me.

Deserving of the name "Perfect Plus." May 23, 2006
By JJ
Beautiful engineering, beautiful appearance, perfect ease of use; what more can you ask for? I've never used a pressure cooker before, but after reading the manual, I had no trouble at all. After just one use, my fear of "the thing exploding," completely disappeared. The quick pressure release was very easy and functional, and clean up was a snap due to the removable handle. I've only used it a few times, so I can't comment on its durability, but it looks like it will last a very very long time. I got it at a great price, and so far I am very happy with the purchase. Thank you, Amazon.com.
