Magefesa Mageplus Stainless Steel 6.5 Quart Super Fast Pressure Cooker

Excellent Quality & Easy Operation
Hello,

I have used the old Presto rattle top pressure cooker and the American (Wisconsin Aluminum) pressure cooker for years. Both are aluminum and use the rattle top device on top of the pressure cooker to control pressure. I have researched pressure cookers for a while now and decided on the Magefesa Mageplus pressure cooker, I have the 8 and 4 liter pots. According to Cook's Illustrated the Rikon Kuhn and Fagor are the best. The German WMF Is right up there and the Presto stainless does well too. But after checking on the Magefesa I learned that Cooks Illustrated test used the Magefesa XL or Practika pressure cooker for testing. It did well but not as good as this one would have. This one is their top of the line pressure cooker. The XL or Practika is in the middle and uses a different type of pressure control. This Mageplus pressure cooker uses a similar pressure control to the Kuhn Rikon and WMF cookers. After using these I can not imagine a pressure cooker being any...

PC Concerns
I write this review with some reservation, as this is not a positive review, althouh this is a very nice pressure cooker.

I have an aging orphan jiggler type pressure cooker with an aging and unavailable gasket so I thought I would shop for a new one. This pressure cooker seemed to offer everything in a quality pressure cooker and at a reasonable price. Basically the quality of a Kuhn Rikon for much less.

As far as quality is concerned this pressure cooker will not disappoint. It is constructed of very good quality stainless steel and the "fit and finish" is excellent. Everything seems to be heavy duty from the encapsulated disk on the bottom to the plastic (?) handles on top. Even the stainless steel steaming basket is very nice quality. I did a test run with some water and it worked like a dream. I have no problems with my jiggler, but by comparison, using the jiggler is like driving a nice Chevy where this cooker was like driving a Lexus. More...

I LOVE THIS
I don't know anyone who's ever used a pressure cooker but anything that'll make me hot, cooked food fast is right up my alley. I felt guilty running the slow cooker for 20 HOURS just to make pork roast so looked around and found pressure cookers, then did the research and found this Magefesa one of the best. And it's Spanish too so I'm happy. It cooks artichokes in 5 mins! How cool is that? I don't get home from work until 11pm and one night I actually made beef stew (which I wanted badly) in 20 mins. and it only took that long because I kept forgetting to add things and had to keep cooling it down and then restarting the heat thing; it was delicious, stew meat was tender even. I made barbecued ribs this past weekend in about 15 mins. which include running them under the broiler to brown (so they sort of looked like they'd been done on a barbecue which we don't have). And it's stainless, my favorite stuff to cook in. Construction is perfect, vents and valves work beautifully...

Montel Williams Living Well 5Qt. Pressure Cooker w/ Cookbook

WORST PRESSURE COOKER ON THE MARKET TODAY.
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A PROBLOMATIC UNIT THIS WOULD BE MY FIRST CHOICE BOUGHT ONE AND AFTER 2 MONTHS OF LEAKING PRESSURE AND NON COOKED MEALS I GOT AN F4 ERROR CODE. IT WAS DONE. I CALLED THE LISTED MANUFACTURER THEY NEVER HEARD OF AN F4 ERROR CODE. ASKED HOW DO I FIX THEY HAD NO CLUE. AND INSTRUCTED ME TO RETURN TO SENDER HSC. FIGURED IT WAS JUST A FLUKE, ORDERED ONE FROM AMAZON, TOOK IT OUT OF THE BOX, PREPARED IT FOR A MEAL, TURNED IT ON THE SAME F4 ERROR CODE. THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE SHOULD BE BE REPORTED TO CONSUMER REPORTS AND TAKEN OFF THE MARKET. IF YOU'RE GOING TO BUY AN ELECTRIC PRESSURE COOKER MAKE SURE YOU READ THE REVIEWS BEFORE YOU PURCHASE. I BOUGHT A NAME BRAND CUISENART AND AS THEY SAY YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. STICK WITH THE BRAND NAMES.

Good gift
This wasn't the one that my mother had asked for, but she got it anyway. She has liked it thus far, with no complaints. Crappy review, but time will tell. Product arrived in great condition.
