A venting cooker operates with a weighted valve that either lifts up or jiggles to release pressure when the pressure inside the pressure cooker is higher than the weight. This type of cooker has a much higher evaporation rate than non-venting cooker, needs more energy to stay at pressure and the food inside is jostled whenever the cooker vents (releases pressure) due to constant sharp drops of pressure. A good example of this type of cooker is the Presto you saw, or Fraci’s Lagostina.

A non-venting cooker operates with a spring valve that is calibrated to resist up to a maximum pressure. When the pressure goes beyond what the spring’s resistance, it yields and cooker begins to release pressure. The pressure is regulated in these cookers by heat. Less heat, makes less steam, which makes less pressure. This type of cooker has a very low evaporation rate (about a tablespoon or so every 10 minutes), needs very little energy to maintain pressure and once the fire/heat/induction are adjusted to the precise amount this type of cooker needs to maintain pressure, the food in the cooker remains completely still (no small boils) and cooks at the same continuous temperature the entire time.

The pressure on spring-valve non venting cookers can be indicated with either a rod that raises progressively out of the cooker (with marks to indicate high and low pressure) or a selector switch that works in concert with a pressure signal to indicate whether the selected pressure is reached.

Between the two, the rod is more accurate because it’s very easy to see the progress. Although the selectors give a nice satisfactory “click” (which I like, too) there is actually some play with the range of pressures for each selection. An excellent example is the Fagor Duo – where you select high or low pressure but that pressure has not actually been reached until a small wift of vapor comes out of the valve and the little yellow pressure signal is completely solid.

We understand that some folks find pressure cookers intimidating. We’ve all heard stories of a cooker blowing its lid and covering the ceiling with split-pea soup. But those stories probably involve old-school pressure cookers that lack the safety features of modern models. The newest generation of stovetop cookers are safer and easier to use than ever before because they’re equipped with automatic steam venting (if too much pressure builds) and visible pressure indicators. Read more about the safety of modern pressure cookers here.Stovetop vs. electric pressure cookers

Finally, electric cookers depressurize either naturally as they cool, or quickly through the steam-release valve. But with stovetop cookers, you have a third option of depressurizing quickly but gently by running cold tap water over the lid (something you should never do with an electric appliance).

Modern pressure cookers (also called second-generation) are quieter, easier to use, and more versatile than first-generation models. Second-generation cookers have features that their predecessors lack, like visible pressure indicators and a choice of pressure levels. The valve system on old-style pressure cookers causes them to whistle constantly while cooking, and offers only one pressure setting: high. New versions of both first- and second-generation pressure cookers are equipped with safety mechanisms so there’s little to no risk of accidental eruptions.

One important safety measure to note is that stovetop pressure cookers do require some monitoring (unlike electric pressure cookers, which allow you to hit Start and walk away). First, after loading your ingredients into the cooker, make sure the gasket and lip of the pot are dry and clean, to ensure a tight seal. Then, with the lid locked into place, you’ll need to heat the pot on the stove over medium-high heat, watching for the pressure indicator in the lid to pop up. This is your cue to turn the heat down to low and set the timer according to your recipe. When the timer stops, take it off the heat and depressurize the pot naturally (by waiting for it to cool) or quickly (either run cold tap water over the pot or use the steam-release button).New pressure cookers are totally safe

Pressure cookers have come a long way since the rattly, potential kitchen geysers our grandparents used. New pressure cookers come with a system of safety features like backup pressure-relief valves, or, in some cases, gaskets that are designed to vent steam in the case of overpressurization. Stovetop models require a little more attention than electric pressure cookers because you have to reduce the heat once they come up to pressure, but they’re still safer than ever.

Don’t bother with cookers made before 1990. They have only one pressure-release valve, and if a bean skin or any food particle clogs the valve, the lid will blow. Many don’t have locking lids, so you can open the cooker while at full pressure and give yourself a nasty steam burn. Plus, they’re noisy and the gaskets are old. Valves and gaskets need to be replaced on pressure cookers because they wear out with use (even those on new cookers), and you’d be hard pressed to find replacement parts for cookware that went out of production years ago.How we picked

We especially liked cookers with easy-to-spot pressure indicators. Our favorite model has a large, bright blue spring valve with white rings as pressure markers (one for low, two for high). Cheaper cookers have recessed indicators that are more difficult to see from a distance.

Small things on pressure cookers should be replaced occasionally. The gasket (silicone ring in the lid), and valve base seals will wear out with use and age. You’ll know if these parts are worn out because your cooker will take longer to come to pressure, and you may notice steam escaping where it didn’t before. For this reason, we looked for pressure cookers from companies with easy-to-purchase and affordable replacement parts.

Of all the pressure cookers we tested, the Fissler is the easiest to use. The lid sits and slides into place more smoothly than the Presto’s, and clearly lets you know it’s in place with both an audible click and an indicator window on the handle that turns green. Instead of a recessed pop-up pin like the Presto has, Fissler’s pressure indicator is easy to see from across the room and is marked with rings, one for low pressure and two for high. The pressure-release button is in the handle, keeping hands away from the steam-release valve. With the Presto, the steam-release valve is the pressure-control knob, so your hand has to get close to the hot steam vent.

This cooker is very easy to clean. Just remove the gasket from the lid and hand-wash all the parts in hot soapy water. Fissler offers a limited warranty that covers manufacturer’s defects, but the warranty doesn’t cover misuse or parts that are subject to wear—including gaskets, valve parts, and silicone membranes.Flaws but not dealbreakers

If you’re new to pressure cooking and you want a low investment as you test the waters, we recommend the Presto 8-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker. It’s a simple, straightforward pressure cooker with zero bells or whistles, but it comes equipped with all the modern backup-valve safeguards. Compared with other tall and narrow cookers we tested, Presto’s wide shape allows for decent searing (if kept to small batches). Unlike our top pick, this cooker has only one pressure setting. But overall, the Presto cooked everything we asked it to, and cleanup was easy.

The weight-modified valve has only one pressure setting. The pressure indicator is recessed, so you have to stand over the cooker to see if it has popped up. This means you shouldn’t stray too far away from the Presto as steam builds, because you need to reduce the heat once pressure is reached.

Presto offers a generous 12-year limited warranty that covers manufacturer defects but not normal wear and tear to gaskets and valves. Replacement parts are available through the Presto website. The Presto also comes recommended by Cook’s Illustrated (subscription required) and is highly rated on Amazon.Care and maintenance

Your pressure cooker’s instruction manual has detailed cleaning instructions that are simple to follow. It’s important to take extra care when cleaning your pressure cooker’s lid. Remove the gasket and wash with hot soapy water. Wash the lid under hot running water with soap and make sure there isn’t any food debris in the valve.

You’ll need to replace gaskets from time to time, and that’s normal for all pressure cookers. These soft parts wear out eventually and you’ll notice them giving out when your pressure cooker won’t stay pressurized like it did before. If you see excessive steam escaping from the lip of the pot or the valve, it’s time for a new gasket. Always buy replacement parts from the company’s website or authorized dealer to make sure you’re getting an authentic part made for your specific model.The competition

Even though Kuhn Rikon innovated the spring valve, and thus the second-generation pressure cooker, the Duromatic Pressure Cooker, 7.4-Quart didn’t wow us. Getting it to hold a certain pressure was difficult, so we found ourselves standing over the pot fiddling with the burner half the time. We had to order two Duromatics because the first one came with a loose handle, but the second was fine. It’s sturdily built (barring any lemons), but at this price, you’re better off paying a bit more for the Fissler Vitaquick.

Ah, my pressure cooker.  You can tell that it’s starting to loose it’s polish because I’ve used it so much.  But what’s great about the Lagostina version of the pressure cooker is the lid.  What I love about this lid is that (in my opinion) that it’s a  secure lid.  There are other pressure cookers where the top lid twists on and locks in at the handles.  They have ridges like teeth on the rim of the lid and a black top where the steam is released-  those ones scare the shit out of me.  I had one of those when I was in university and I didn’t go near it.  It looked like it was going to explode.  Now I’m not saying that they do and I’ve never seen one of those pressure cookers with the lid blown off, but to me they just look scary.  Now the one I have, if you look at the lid-  it’s actually a lid that seals from the inside of the pot, so really it’s harder for the lid to pop off and it has a safety feature where there is a red tab that lifts up when there’s pressure and actually prevents the handle on the lid from falling down and unsealing itself.  The red tab is also a good indicator of when you can uncover your pot-  when it goes down it means the majority of the pressure inside the pot is gone and you can safely open it.

Well, there you have it! One of my favorite things to have in the kitchen, it will scare you at first but the reward is worth it!  I got my Lagostina pressure cooker in Canadian Tire for about $150.00 before gst but you can get an electronic one from William Sonoma for a couple hundred dollars.
