The bad reviews surprised me. For me it is ratzfatz with the pressure build-up - but I have Induktin and a power stage. The cap is really easy and I had decent, he would take off - but he sits there and came out no steam. The manual is bad, it is for example only "Temperature downshifting" but not as far - or whether the little red button should remain visible. Well, I think the steam basket. In my firm vegetables come directly into the pot, for example, potatoes, and then the soft - zucchini - in the basket. Both are then equal and do not smashed. There are certainly pots in which the displays are easier to read, for example, from Fissler, but I have 59 paid for it otherwise I get no quality pressure cooker. The dial is very easy for me, no idea if that must be so - I once write the service, let's see how fast the log. Vapor occurs there but as I said not with me, and certainly not somewhere fountains detention. I think some of them have too much steam in the boiler :-)
For gasket: which is made of silicone and not as before from rubber. So I think it can be older than 1 year. Always immediately clean and dry!
