Zavor EZLock Stove Top Pressure Cooker 7 Quart - Stainless Steel, Multi Pressure Levels, Easy Locking, Induction Ready, Digital Cookbook & Steamer Basket | Olla de Presion Acero Inoxidable

Wonderful purchase as it made my canning and preserving so much easier! It was a bit intimidating at first but once I got the hang of it I use this more than a regular canning pot! The quality is wonderful, and it is very durable! A great buy for the money!

If you're used to old fashioned stovetop pressure cookers, this pot has all the features you are used to plus more, unlike many other modern cookers that seem to be missing key features. Here's the combination of features this pot offers - it may seem basic but good luck finding this combination in most of its competitors. - stainless steel - induction compatible - high 15 psi and low 10 psi settings - a way to manually bleed steam (here, a manual vent release setting) - a well designed vent that releases a nice baby stream of steam UPWARDS when it's at pressure (some of its competitors release the steam SIDEWAYS. Good god why????) - as a bonus, a really easy to use lid lock system that's basically effortless for anyone with arthritis etc. What a treat compared to the old fashioned lids

I am actually surprised at the quality of the unit. I took it all apart and gave it a good cleaning. Great locking technique used wanted something to pressure seal 4 quarts of soup at a time. The 10 quart allows me to do this. The size is great compared to those of us who were first exposed to pressure cooking in the 1950s. Lots EASIER to use than that old beast. Lol

This wonderful pressure cooker is safer than the Prestos I've used for decades because there is no separate weight on top that can jiggle off while you're taking it to the sink and make a wild mess. I also like that the pressure can be quickly released right there on the stove. This way I can add more ingredients quickly without cooling the whole pot under cold water and the pot can continue cooking right away. I like that the lid has an additional safety feature in that the lid cannot open if there is any pressure left. Other things I like: The lid is sufficiently domed that I can fit 4 huge artichokes (one sliced in half) at a time. The pot has no handle sticking out, so it's easy to store. It heats up much faster than the Insta-Pot we tried I was tempted by lower cost pressure cookers, but I'm so glad I tried this one. It will last a lifetime so the price doesn't so much matter. We love it!

Me funciona perfectamente, es exactamente como dice la publicacion

Update: February 5, 2022: I received a new pressure cooker from Zavor after they tested the one I had and determined it was faulty. It came back quickly. I immediately noticed the lid on the new one operated much better and smoother than the old one. And it acted perfectly during the “water test” that I ran before really using it. The lid barely budged when I put it on cold and there was no way I could turn it once it got to high pressure. And it got to pressure quickly, the pressure indicator worked flawlessly, and the steam was venting properly this time. I made chili again, just to compare apples-to-apples, and it worked exactly as you would expect. I will say I was hesitant concerning the lid, especially after the first pot incident, but it is REALLY nice to be able to simply put the lid on any which way instead if having to line things up first. Overall, I am extremely pleased with this pressure cooker—and Zavor’s customer service (especially Jasmine!). ———————————————————- Let me first say that I am very, very pleased with the customer support I received from Zavor. The first time I used the pressure cooker, it did not seem to work as it should. It took an incredibly long time to come up to pressure and I was able to turn the lid fairly easily once it finally got to pressure. I wanted to "test" the unit because this is the first time I ever used one with this sort of locking lid. I have to say I want to like this lid as it seems so much easier to use. To test the unit, I put about three or four cups of water into it and brought it to pressure. It really took a long time. And I sort of had to jiggle it to have the indicator show there was pressure. (I should state that there are both low and high pressures available on this pressure cooker and I chose "high" for my test.) I have an electric stove, so I had a different burner warmed up on a low setting for when it came to pressure and could be moved to an already warmed burner at a lower temperature. I did that, but I was unable to maintain a nice, steady flow of steam. But it seemed okay. I made a pot of chili the next day. The pot acted the same way. It took forever to come up to temperature and I wasn't getting a steady stream of steam. The chili came out okay, but I called Zavor the next day. The customer support person was great and she actually had me perform the same "test" that I did, but using less water so it gets to pressure quickly. Everything watched the same way and she asked if I could turn the lid after it was at pressure and, YES! I could! That surprised me and she asked for me to send it back to their service department so it could be tested there. The pot got there and they tested it quickly. They determined that it was faulty and they have mailed me back a new one. I should be receiving it over the weekend, depending on how bad this current winter storm is and I plan on using it as soon as I receive it. I will update this review once I get the new pot. I like the concept of this product and I certainly appreciated the great customer support, but the jury is still out on how it actually works.

Wuaooo lo mejor que tengo en mi cosina ,hago todo en ella y es muy rápida super super recomendada

I actually purchased an instant pot, but sent it back after I watched a video and saw how many moving parts this thing had. I thought to myself I would just end up losing all these little things, preventing the unit from running. And it really didn't offer that many improvements. Sure, you could set times and schedules based on the type of food you were cooking. Still, way too complicated and unnecessary. I decided to go with this pressure cooker, as the ratings were high and the simplicity was great. It literally doesn't have but a lid and pot. And who can't figure out how to close a lid? This 1 is totally simple as well. The pot is absolutely sturdy and all you have to do is set it for 10 or 15 pounds and then watch for the red pressure gauge to pop up. If the unit gets too high of pressure, it gives you plenty of sound. You turn down the heat and that stops. Simple. Of course, if what you want is to put a bunch of food in the pot and have it cook for you at a specific time, then Instant pot should be your go to. A traditional pressure cooker like this is for people who are in the kitchen while it's doing its job, or very nearby. Perhaps that's you. Perhaps it's not.

I didn't want to take chances, so I drilled a hole in the top and added my own pressure gauge. If you rely on the release valve, the pressure is always less than expected and you have to really pay attention to the temperature setting to keep the pressure where you want it and ignore the release valve. Excellent material though, I love the stainless steel.

It's exactly what i paid for—a non-electric pressure cooker—and it works incredibly!

You get what you pay for. Excellent quality and it works great as a pressure cooker. It has a release valve on the top to help let the pressure go once the cooking is done. It says you can use it for canning but I am skeptical. I am sure it will last year's to come. It works on my induction stove.
