 Kuhn Rikon: the workhorse pots for a family of four Sep 13, 2025
My wife and I cook most meals at home for a family of four. We used a crockpot, but at some point all food tastes the same. We got a pressure cooker due to my experience as a kid with my mom cooking all her rice and beans in a pressure cooker, and I will have to say that to any busy parent or person out there that pressure cooking is the only way I would recommend for them to cook at home from scratch with minimal processed ingredients. We cook all kinds of plates, from stews, to soups, to chilies, rice, beans, polenta, you name it. Done in a flash, with great taste and amazing texture. I ordered the Kuhn Rikon six-piece set with some expectations, but we use these pots at least four to five times every week. If you have dealt with a pressure cooker before you know that the critical item always turns out to the be rubber seals. We've had our pots for probably four years and all our seals are working fine and haven't needed replacement. It is an expensive piece of cooking equipment, but if you use it the way we do you'll save a lot of money.
I honestly cannot recommend this set enough.

 Good price But Kuhn Rikon has better pressure cookers Jun 03, 2025
This pressure cooker set is a great entry level set, although I find the large size sometimes not large enough. But, watch what you are purchasing, there are 2 separate types of lids on the Duromatic pressure cooker. This set has the inferior lid that is more difficult to read the pressure from a distance and more difficult to release the pressure (although it is still very good) As far as I can tell, the pressure cooker itself are the same, with the exception of the lid/release. If you have the extra money, this other lid is worth it--especially if you are a beginner. I regret that I bought the duromatic set without realizing the difference in the lids. I saw the price of the set and jumped on it without realizing the difference. I guess on the bright side, it means that I have pressure cookers in different sizes now.
If you are nervous about pressure cooking, there are awesome books out there to help lead the way-including pressuring cooking for dummies. My favorite is Miss Vickies Book of Pressure Cooker recipes, also found on amazon. She also has a website that offers a lot of free information as well as free recipes (although some have a small charge).
So, cook your food faster, save energy, retain more nutrients, and serve delicious homemade meals that seem like you have spent all day in the kitchen.
If you are taking the plunge into pressure cooking starting with a good product will make a huge difference as to whether or not you are satisfied with the results as well as the safety. On an investment like this, go for quality-whether it is this set with this type of lid or the Duromatic set with the other type of lid.
the only reason i gave this 4 stars is because of the lid.

I like the both different size of pot. I can use both for different style of cooking.
they are durable and easy to use.
Fast shipping, good manual book. Great for a macrobiotic cooking.

Ultimate pressure cooker Feb 09, 2026
I am essentialy a vegetarian, and I am coming from various Walmart, and French T-Fal pressure cookers. None have worked for a length of time. Kuhn Rikon's strength lies in being able to cook without losing any liquid. No liquid loss means spices and aromatics stay in the food, you will lose some spice tones as you are cooking at 220 F but most of the flavor will stay intact. There are other premium Pressure Cookers that can do this also (Fisslers for one), but I have found Kuhn Rikon to be simple and robust in design with spare parts network. None are cheap. I have a gas range, so maintaining the ring pressure was not a problem I do not know how it will work on electric range. This pressure cooker is excellent for doing Chicken/Beef Stocks. You feed frozen chicken with water and you get stock.

 Beautiful, expensive choice Dec 21, 2025
I used to cook with a pressure cooker that my mother had given me and I loved the time saved using it. Somehow in one of my many moves, it disappeared. After considerable research, I chose the Kuhn Rikon Duromatic Pressure Cooker Set. It is a beautiful set of pans that work very well. My only hesitation in recommending this purchase to someone else is the expense. I think the cooking results could be obtained with other pressure cookers. I must admit I was swayed by the brand reputation. The fact is that it is still just a pressure cooker underneath its beautiful looks. As long as you know that ahead of time, go ahead.
