    Lid a bit of a challenge
  

*by L***T on Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2012*

This little 2qt 'contura' is just darling, a nice manageable size for a smaller person/ single person- and it does work.I do have serious doubts that it is stainless steel through and through, I believe that the inside is aluminum, which performs better as a pressure cooker body material, anyway.  I am just going to 'let go' of my fears of getting aluminum in my food from the pressure cooker, and I will simply refrain from putting strongly acidic foods in it (tomatoes/citrus, etc) I will also immersion blend in another container, to prevent getting fine shavings of aluminum in the food.The only other issue is getting the lid on (in).  It has been a challenge- but since I received my cooker 4 days ago, I've used it 3 times (including the initial straight water with lemon juice/vinegar run, so I can put the lid on/in, it's just tricky.It seems easier if you basically let it fall in/on.I actually like the whistle/hiss. Makes cooking your beans a little more of an adventure. Also, if you do not fill more than 1/2 way the contura doesn't seem to splatter food out with the whistling.  And--it whistles to urge you to turn down the flame.  I can cook pinto beans on the absolutely lowest gas setting my range is capable of.  If you want to 'be green' you can't beat that.So far I have made rice pudding-  it was OK, but I think rice pudding would cook better at lower temps, so I will try that stove-top next time.  The NM pinto beans with a 1/2 an onion (you don't have to chop the onion up- it falls apart naturally during the 60-or so minute cooking time)and a little vegetable oil turned out tender and tasty.  Next I will make a nice dal/soup- just throw everything in, curry powder/onions/jalapenos/peeled knob of ginger/lentils/water/salt/veg oil, stir and cook ~20-30", then at the end  throw in a whole rough chopped bunch of cilantro and immersion blend it.  You cannot beat a nice soup like that on a cold day in NM.

*by A***M on Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2013*

I wanted a pressure cooker for our small family of 3. It is very handy. I cook all my dals,curries and beans in it and it gets done in a jiffy. I wanted to stop buying canned beans that contain a whole lot of sodium. Now I can buy legumes that are free of preservatives and cook them in my cooker. I also make soup and stews in it that take minimum time and are tastier and more wholesome than when I cooked them in a pan. The only drawback is that it is not stain proof, the food coloring like turmeric leaves a stain that does not wash off. Otherwise an excellent and reliable product!!!
