Question - WMF pressure cooker
After qutting using a pressure cooker about 30 years ago, my wife decided she's
going to start using one again. She is going to buy a $199 WMF Perfect Plus from Williams-Sonoma. I asked her what's wrong with a cheaper model, perhaps a Presto if they still make them. Her reply was that the WMF was stainless steel. I guess I'm missing something. Any advice that I can give her? Like where to put the un-used food processor in order to make room for an un-used pressure cooker? Seriously, if you were starting out cooking in a pressure cooker, what make and model would you buy? |

Her reply was that the WMF was stainless steel. Presto makes a stainless steel pressure cooker. William-Sonoma is always more expensive than other places. My bet is that your wife wants the prestige of buying at W-S because of her peer group. It probably isn't worth the money to argue with her.

Question - WMF pressure cooker
The Magefesa Rapid II Super Pressure Cooker is superior to most of the
designer pressure cookers offered at high end outlets. A 6 qt model is offered for $99 and an 8 qt model is offered for $109. I have the 8 qt model. It loses very little steam during cooking and intensifies the flavor of what is being cooked. OTOH, get your wife what she wants. Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy? Tom |

Aluminum Oxide is very inert. Aluminum is quite reactive but forms a protective layer of oxide rapidly. Perhaps you have been attending too many demonstrations for waterless cookware. del cecchi |
