Well, the stoopid Revere Ware people have discontinued their pressure cookers, and I can't get a gasket for mine. Time to upgrade.
Suggestions? Thanks!

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).

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

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.

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?)

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

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?
