Zavor ZPot 10 Quart 15-PSI Pressure Cooker and Canner - Polished Stainless Steel (ZCWSP03)

Definitely one of the best brands for pressure cookers. And what's more, in the latest version they fixed the release button, something that never gave me any trouble with the previous one I bought over a year ago. I bought this new one for my aunt, and it came in blue. I also want to highlight that the seller on Amazon responds as quickly as possible to any questions. Even on Black Friday, I bought one directly from their website, and the next day they issued a refund because the medium size was sold out! At that same time, I bought the smallest one, and once they received the order, they didn't issue another refund because they were out of stock. That's why I had to come here to Amazon and buy the largest 10-quart one. Well, and another thing besides Amazon, the shipping was fast once the seller received the order! And the seller also told me that the purchase was automatically registered for a one-year warranty with the purchase number.

This was a good size for me. This is a good size to do a pot roast in. I have only used it once for vegetables but it was wonderful compared to a pressure cooker that was about 25 years old. This uses less water to cook with and everything is built into the handle. The pressure release is easy to use, just make sure the release valve is pointing away from you so as not to get burned. This one is rated for induction tops which I have. Very easy to clean after use. The quality of the Zavor is quite good as well. Completely satisfied with this purchase.

Amazing item

As a huge fan of Fagor pressure cookers, I was relieved to find that Zavor had risen as the replacement brand. However, my experience this cooker has been abysmal. The cooker would not hold pressure when it first arrived. When I contacted Zavor about it, they ran me through a rather infuriating step by step process before they finally, and seemingly grudgingly, made me ship it back to them, where they took a week to fix it, and then shipped it back. All during this time, no offer was made to simply replace the cooker. Or at the very least, the lid. Upon its return, while it does EVENTUALLY hold pressure, it requires such a high heat that everything inside burns. I've tried using extra water and meticulously un-lidding and stirring repeatedly (losing pressure in the process) while it's coming to pressure at high heat, in an attempt to keep dinner from burning. And as a final straw, the pressure control dial is completely flakey. It gets clogged with steam, making it seem like nothing is happening, until it's manually jiggled and then it spits out a burst of hot water and steam, and returns to 'normal' operation. It means I can't ever trust that the sound coming from the cooker is relevant to what is happening inside. This is even after thorough cleaning as recommended to me by Zavor.

I love the ease of using this because the pressure button tells you when your food is at the right pressure for timing. But sadly, my pot was damaged somewhere before I got it in the mail. It seems to work as well, but if dented in the wrong spot, a pressure cooker can be a huge liability.

I just bought this cooker around Christmas this year and have only used it a few times. Had seen them at Macys for quite a bit more. Good old Amazon always has the best deal. It works very well and is attractive to boot. Polished 18/10 stainless steel. This pot is tall about 17 inches, and has plenty of room for cooking. Not sure what the bottom plate is made of, but keeps food hot even after removed from the heat source. I just place the lid on top after cooking, and stays steaming hot for some time. It has a small indicator that lets you know it is at full pressure, 15 pounds, it is from there that you start your timing of the food your cooking. Has three ways to release pressure. Can be done with the quick release position, you can run cool water over the pot, or let it cool down naturally about 10 minutes. My stove is electric, but can be used with gas or induction. Is easy to clean and comes with detailed instructions and 50 recipes to try. So far I love it. Meats come out so tender, and vegies cook in about 7 minutes. There's a lot to like about this one!

Terrific little pressure cooker. I own the ten quart version of this cooker, and wanted something that holds less than a vat of food, for days when only two of us are at home. So, after much pondering, I bought the 4 quart pot. It makes enough soup for three people to eat a hearty meal, with a little left over. It's also a great pot without the lid. The size is so convenient, and it fits the burners on my glass top stove exactly. If I had a complaint, it would be that the handle drips water occasionally. I think I have the gasket slightly misplaced, because it doesn't happen all the time or even most of the time. When I get that figured out, this will be perfect.

Just make sure you turn the heat down once the pressure has been reached or you will burn the tar out of your food. This cooker is worth it. But monitor your heat so you don't burn dinner. I don't recommend this cooker if you dont' do well under pressure. But, you know what they say. If you can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen. Great product in my opinion. But who am I? Hells kitchen?

Creo que es la mejor olla exprés que he tenido. La válvula de seguridad me da confianza de que no pasarán accidentes mientras que también tiene un botoncito que te permite purgar el vapor si tienes prisa. Es una maravilla.

Well made, works great, perfect addition to a kitchen, good size for 2-6 people.

The best quality

Love the simple design of this pressure cooker in comparison to others.

The closing knob on my old fagor pressure cooker died and the company doesn't exist anymore so my husband decided to buy me a new one. This looks exactly like my old one so I was confident it would be great but it only builds pressure half the time and even when it does within minutes of being taken off the heat it's ready to open (which mean the pressure is gone) my old one took 20 minutes before it was ready to open, that's how much better it held the pressure. Of course, this means this pot also comes much slower than it should. At first I thought I just needed to get used to a new pot but 6 months later I hate it's inconsistency and slowness. I'm pretty much ready to throw it in the garbage because I'm sure at this point the company won't do anything about it. I definitely do not recommend this!
