pressure cookers, and I can't get a gasket for mine. Time to
upgrade.

Suggestions? Thanks!

Anything stainless steel...

Check Wal-Mart. ;-)

Hi Mark,

I've had a Stainless Fagor Elite 6 qt for about a year, and been very
pleased. Seems to be a pretty good value as far a pressure cookers go
(about $60).

Good luck,

Kelly

I've had a Presto pressure cooker I've used for the last 25 years and it
still works great. It's a nice heavy stainless model so I sometimes use just
the pot alone for other things, too.

I'm sure by now there are other fancier and more sophisticated ones around,
though.

I've used Presto for years. In fact one of mine was my grandmothers
and has a date of 1949 on it. I can still get parts.

I'm still using my mom's old Presto that is at least 30 years old. ;-)
Stainless steel, still works great!

That's three votes for Presto from me, Katra, and Freecyclemom.

And three votes from Kelly for her Fagor Elite.

And I'll vote for Mirro. (can I vote twice since I have 2 of 'em?)

My wife bought a Presto cooker in 1961. At the time I was very upset that
she had spent around $20 for a pot of any kind to cook in. However, we still
use it and last weekend we cooked 2 racks of ribs in 35 minutes. The meat
was tender enough to cut with a fork. Best investment we ever made.

Actually, I had 5. 2 49ers, a larger one newer and 2 canners.

That's 4 more votes for Presto!

What size cooker do you have that holds 2 racks of ribs? (I know you cut
them up.) I have the 6-quart size which is just right for a good sized
roast, but I never thought to try to get ribs in there. Also, what kind of
sauce or marinade are you using to cook it?

The only kind of ribs I've made in mine is the Hawaiian Short Ribs recipe,
from the Presto recipe book. I call them my Faux Ribs. :-) I serve it on
wide egg noodles and it's pretty good. It makes for a nice, hearty
winter-time meal.

I have 2 sizes of Presto's. They just can not be beat. I think they
were rummage sale purchases years and years ago. Replacing the gaskets
every few years or so and I am rocking and rolling. I just bought a
"chicken bucket"
P cooker for $5. I see KFC in my future. Good luck

Apologies for the over-posting, Google was hanging up on me. And for
the record, I only like it about 1 vote- worth. 🙂

Ditto for my Mum's Presto pressure cooker. Her's Only thing is, the
rubber seal around the lid finally gave in and we could not get a spare
over here (SA) anymore. Very good make though.

Did she pitch it already or are you still looking for a seal? I thought I
saw several places on the web that sell Presto parts. None of them ship to
South Africa?
