I have never dared me to a pressure cooker. I know these things yet from my childhood and the steam noise has always scared me. In addition, these pots also are not really cheap. This pot is unbeatable and I do not know why I bought the not many years ago. A chicken soup I cook now within half an hour and no longer need 3-4 Stumden. The handling is absolutely simple, the processing outstanding and the price is unbelievable. Everyone spends more your own fault!
