Prestige Smart Plus Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker, 6L

A good and more affordable replacement for the previous MWF pressure cooker.

Works exactly as advertised and promptly dispatched

Was a bit skeptical but had a pressure cooker years ago so decided to try.... so glad I did. Simple and easy to use with good results. Value for money, will save on your energy bills for sure, 1 cooker as opposed to 4 rings on and approx a quarter of the time for cooking, winner! Veg tastes fresh and seems to have more taste..... I cook without salt (due to medical condition) and everything tastes bland in the saucepan but with the pressure cooker wow! What a difference... not missing the salt. Easy to clean but please note I would go for 6 lts if there's two of you. 4 lts was too small but it would be ok for 1 person.

Always loved using our pressure cooker but sadly the last one died. This new Prestige Pressure Cooker is the replacement and will hopefully see us out 😂 It's nice and shiny, does the job but a couple of things let it down or the company down, depending on your view. 1) the steam comes out horizontally so be careful. On the old one it came out vertically which was better in our view. 2) the 'v' shaped trivet isn't stable enough and so the basket tends to over balance. Sadly you can't get the old style trivet, so if you have one keep hold of it. (I'm still searching for a replacement) Otherwise it's a good pressure cooker.

Excellent

Very rarely builds up pressure. You have to hold a cloth to blocm steam from escaping from various holes before it makes a 'pop' sound and pressure starts building (likd attached photo). This is dangerous and very likely to burn you. Needlessly complex weight and whistle also has no concept of timing. In regular pressure cookers you can count the number of whistles to know when to stop cooking. This has a constant stream of steam escaping. Not sure why prestige made such a weird and poor product when regular pressure cookers work perfectly. Wish I hadn't bought it.

Have used the same model pressure cook for many years, excellent and easy to use. I wouldn't be without my pressure cooker.

This is a good bit of kit. I have had one for over 2 years now. When the new one arrived it was exactly the same but it constanly leaked steam before it reached pressure. I noticed a big gap between the top of the handle body and the stainless lid. On further investigation it was found the bracket on the steam vave was bent and interfeared with the steam weight. This caused the steam valve to be slightly open. It was not easy to fix!! The two screw holes in the side of the handle were miss aligned to the lid. After rectifacation the lid also needed slight bending adjustment to get the handle to sit snug (less than 0.5mm) on top of the lid. Works perfect now but the product should never have left the production line with this fault. If anyone has the same problem and there is a gap of over 1mm between the black top part of the handle and lid and it is constantly leaking steam before presurizing and the red button has popped up. I advise to send the unit back. Apart from this fault it is still an excelent product.
