PRESTIGE PRDA3 Prestige 3L Alpha Deluxe Induction Base Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker, 3.0-Liter

Compact not too heavy

I recently purchased the Prestige 3L Alpha Deluxe Induction Base Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker, and it has become an indispensable tool in my kitchen. The 3-liter capacity is perfect for preparing meals for a small family, accommodating various dishes with ease. Its compatibility with both induction and gas cooktops adds to its versatility. The pressure indicator is a thoughtful safety feature, providing a clear visual cue when it’s safe to open the cooker. Additionally, the controlled gasket-release system offers an extra layer of safety by releasing steam in case of any blockage. The stainless steel construction not only adds to its durability but also gives it a sleek, modern appearance that complements my kitchen decor. Cleaning is straightforward, thanks to the smooth surfaces and detachable components. Overall, this pressure cooker combines functionality, safety, and style, making it a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to enhance their cooking experience.

Many people complained that it’s hard to close lid. I had the same problem but then I figured out that putting some pressure on the black dot of the lid dose the trick. Once the lid is on half way apply pressure on the dot and turn to lock.Handel get hot too quick. But I still like it.

Esta muy buena, pero es muy chiquita, además cada vez q expulsa el aire me da miedo, es como si fuera a explotar

One of the best pressure cooker we have used in the last couple of years

This pressure cooker does the job and seems to be of high quality and good design. I wish to address some of the 1-star reviews claiming a leaking gasket seal. The gasket is designed to blow out before the cooker becomes a bomb, so care be used to ensure that the gasket is installed correctly, that it is clean, and that the pressure cooker is used correctly. The manual states to "place the Cooker on high heat" initially to start the cooking process. I feel this could be an issue when using certain stove tops that can heat extremely rapidly and pressure builds so rapidly that the gasket blow-by occurs. My recommendation ( if your stove heat very fast) is to start at medium heat to prevent such a rapid buildup of pressure that steam is blown out of the seal. Watch the pot closely and when the "pressure indicator" pops up IMMEDIATELY reduce the heat (to low or medium-low...practice will determine what setting is best). If it "weight valve" doesn't release steam within a couple of minutes, increase the heat slightly. The correct heat setting is obtained when the "weight valve" releases steam every three to five minutes or so.

excellent choice for those looking for a long-lasting, multi-purpose pressure cooker. It offers superior safety features, even cooking, and induction compatibility, making it a great value for money.

Works well but it’s very very small.
