After about 30 years, I have exchanged my first pressure cooker. WMF, which is for life, it was said among housewives! Even then, a little more expensive, but it is for life! New pots are better because the material used today and technological progress in all areas, so ease of handling (weight) and usability, power savings through thermal base, easier cleaning and burnt food, etc. to cook This is really fun! In connection with my new stove, I got last Christmas, and this WMF pot is the ultimate - and certainly for the rest of my life!
