unit does not work July 18, 2008
I have had two cuisinart pressure cookers shipped to me. the first one cooked for on week and then quit working. The second was delivered today and it does not turn on. I have tried to work with Amazon customer service and can not believe it. I always shopped with Amazon because of their customer servce. Now you talk to someone in India who does not have a clue. Amazon is a total disappointment. I have been on hold waiting for a supervisor for 20 min!!

Would stick with stovetop July 13, 2008
I am returning this. I have cooked with stove top pressure cookers for 15 years and thought I would give this a try. I ended up with a defective unit which sometimes happens I can understand that. Amazon has always been good at replacing unsatisfactory purchases for me. However, the Customer Service at Cuisinart was insanely poor. The person did not know much about the unit and seemed to just be reading from a script. They did not offer any helpful tips besides what I had already tried from reading the owners manual that came with this unit. Overall they were unconcerned with my dissatisfaction. Like I said,I already know how to work a pressure cooker, I want excellent manufacturer advice when I have questions.

Positively the best!!! July 9, 2008
I've owned my Cuisinart Pressure Cooker for 6 months now, and I love this thing!! I have been using pressure cookers since the 1970s and I used my mother's before that. I have never been afraid of them because I was taught to use them properly. This unit is no exception. So, I will impart some little tricks on what I learned about this one.

First, you need to brown your meat, saut� your vegetables and heat any liquid to a boiling point before clamping down that lid. By doing this, the food tastes better and the pot comes to pressure in a minimum of time. Don't expect it to start from cold ingredients and not take additional time to come to pressure before cooking.
Second, all parts need to be scrupulously clean. This includes the inner lid, gasket and the locking lid itself. I put the inner lid and gasket in my dishwasher and make sure it's dry when I put it together. The locking lid needs to be cleaned under the cap that protects the pressure hole and the pressure gauge itself. No, it can't go into the dishwasher, but it still needs to be cleaned each and every time it's used. This will ensure a good seal. I also had no trouble reading the times needed to properly cook each and every different food. The manual is just fine. If you want a cookbook, buy one!

I used to trust this company and buy their products. But during the past couple of years, they seem to be taken over by the "next quarter's profits must be higher" boys. No real interest in customer service. Inferior (cost-cutting) products. Look elsewhere for kitchen appliances. Too bad. A once-great company.
Now useless.
