This can be your favorite cookware in your kitchen!
By Krishna Polina
We tried so many pressure cookers over the years as Indian Cooking demands heavy use of pressure cooking for making lentil soups and curries. We even tried few models from India but none could last more than a few years. Either they have problems with safety valves, handles, or they would become loose too often that requires tightenening of handles. If they last well, they were too bulky and takes almost forever to open and close the lid. Most annoying of all, they all make crazy sound that scares both my kids.
Kuhn Rikon pressure cookers sure have expensive prices but once you see them and feel them, you will find every reason to agree that they are well worth the price. This particular 2 set model is so lovely that my wife decided to get rid of most of her cookware as they both compliment each other so well. They can be used for almost everything we cook for our daily needs. The lids are interchangeable. This makes it so convenient to pressure cook veggies and lentils and then continue to use it with glass lid to make the final curry without having to transfer the cooked veggies and lentils to another cookware to make the curry. You can cook meat much faster and tastier without having to marinate for long.
The small one is so convenient if you have small babies and would like to feed them fresh boiled veggies, rice, or lentils. It saves lot of cooking time and the cook book that comes with it is wonderful. It gives you so many nice and simple receipes for everyone.
Couple of our guests got so impressed with this that they bought it right away from Amazon.com without waiting to get an incredible deal for it in their Amazon.com GoldBox like I did.

By A Customer
I purchased the Kuhn Rikon Duo Set recently because I had heard the 2nd generation pressure cookers are much safer and quieter than the older models. I have not been disappointed and am no longer afraid of pressure cooking! As a matter of fact, I have been so pleased with this set that I have been cooking with it at least 4 or 5 times a week. Our family is "back to two" again, and the pressure frypan is just perfect for a few pork chops, meatballs, or other small portions of meat. I love yams, but didn't serve them often because it takes about an hour and a half to cook them in a conventional oven. In my new pressure frypan, yams only take about 10 - 12 minutes, and they come out perfect every time with no "hard" spots. I have also used the pressure frypan for carrots and corn on the cob with excellent results. I am equally pleased with the 5L pressure cooker. The glass and pressure lids are interchangable between the 5L cooker and the 2L frypan, and the cookers are so quiet, you hardly know they are working.The 2 pressure settings, 10 and 15psi, are clearly indicated on the popup valve stem. The valve can also release the pressure quickly with just the touch of a button. Unlike the older models, these pressure cookers lose very little steam, so less water is needed and more vitamins are retained in the food.The beautiful, highly polished stainless steel is very easy to clean. I have never had to use anything other than a plastic scrubbie, and the pans always clean up quickly and easily. For stubborn stains, I use the plastic scrubbie and a non-abrasive cleanser such as Bar Keeper's Friend. To help keep the pressure cookers in good condition and avoid the possibility of burning or scorching, I never cook with high heat. I do use high heat to bring the cooker up to pressure quickly, but once the correct pressure is reached, I gradually lower the burner to the lowest possible setting I can that will still maintain pressure.Before using these pressure cookers the first time, it is a good idea to take them on a little "test run", using only water. That way, you can familiarize yourself with the new pressure cookers so that you will be more comfortable using them the first time. Test to see how long it takes to reach each pressure setting. Also, test to find the lowest temperature you can cook at and still maintain a constant pressure for the number of minutes your food will need to cook. I was glad I decided to do a test run before I used my new cookers the first time. After 4 or 5 attempts to bring the cookers up to pressure on my test run without success, I finally discovered that there is a little screw in the pressure lid that has to be tightened. Once I tightened that screw, the cookers came up to pressure immediately, and I have had no problems since. I would highly recommend the Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker duo set. But the 2L frypan is rather small. If there are more than 2 people in your family, or you have really hearty appetites, you would probably be happier with one of the larger pressure cookers.April 23, 2010It's hard to believe I've been cooking with these pressure cookers for about seven and a half years now. Just a note to let everyone know I love them as much, if not more than the first day I cooked with them. I highly recommend Kuhn Rikon. Their pressure cookers are pricey, but worth every penny. A good investment that will last a lifetime if properly cared for. And no, I don't work for or sell Kuhn Rikon. I just love to cook and appreciate great cookware!

By Velma J. Houston
Excellent set, easy to use and will last beyond its ten year guarantee. I use the pressure frypan to cook macrobiotic rice or oatmeal. After 50 minutes of high pressure cooking, I get perfect brown rice or oatmeal(no sticking or burning). Once you know the stove setting required to maintain pressure, you can almost forget it. However, as with any cooking device, I monitor it periodically. The pressure pot and frypan have flat bottoms which makes food preparation and cleaning a breeze. The glass lid was a major selling point, as it enables conventional use of both pots.
My wife makes succulent turkey drumsticks in only eight minutes of cooking time.
None of the other brands, we previewed, appeared to be constructed as well as the Kuhn Rikon models.
Needless to say, our family considers this set a great value. More important,we use it almost daily.
