This review is from: Presto Pressure Canner Steam Gauge (Kitchen)
I was looking for a replacement gauge for my ancient [1950-1960's] pressure canner, which was hard to find [in future, I'll check amazon.com 1st]. When I got it, I put it on - screwed right in, fit perfectly & when I used it for the 1st time, it worked perfectly! For the record: my canner is a Magic Seal model # 7-16. Thank you, Amazon, for having what I needed!

Received the item on time. It fit into my pressure cooker quiet tight. However, when I tried to use my cooker the seal was no good, therefore I had no pressure :( Not sure if the item worked or not, but I would buy again.

Although this pressure regulator is the correct replacement per National Presto, it is NOT the one pictured (the original one that came with the pressure cooker) and a replacement can be purchased less expensive elsewhere.

Have used this a few times since purchasing for my old pressure cooker and it is a very sturdy good quality product. Will use it forever as long as I don't loose it like the original one.

My previous cooker, some years old, is the "old school" pot style, with a single handle and a simple pressure release on the top. It works well, but it is somewhat limited in scope --and you have to regulate the pressure essentially by the flame on the stove.
I really wanted something more adjustable, and in addition, more versatile. This pressure cooker is an electric appliance, using a power cord and sitting on the countertop rather than on the stove. Because you use an electric element to heat the unit, you can adjust from low and slow, like a crock pot up to a full pressure cooker to speed along a soup or stew.
Since I had gotten rid of my slow cooker, I realized I could replace not only the old pressure cooker, but get a new slow cooker. And my rice cooker is wearing out (the membrane control on the top is nearing the end of its life.) So this unit could replace all three. Theoretically, you can do low-acid canning (vegetables and meats) but I prefer to use... Read more

I have been looking for a lead-free slow-cooker for awhile and was recommended this product since it has a stainless-steel insert and can be used as a slow-cooker. However, that is not even the best thing about this item - the pressure cooker function is! I am new to the pressure-cooker world and remember my mom using one occasionally growing up (the stove-top version, of course). I never really thought I "needed" a pressure cooker, but after having this one for less than a week and using it 3 times already, I am SOLD. My first try was black beans. I added 3 times as much water as beans just to be safe (poured off the extra when done and measured it, could have only used twice as much instead of three times as much and it would have been the right amount). From dry beans to perfectly cooked in about 30 minutes! My next try was a pork sirloin and it was good also, about as tender as you could probably get a pork sirloin. My third try was some chicken fajitas. I used about 2 lbs of... Read more

I was looking for an appliance to replace my slow cooker and ideally wanted a stainless steel insert. That is not easy to find but I did find the instant pot. Pressure cooking was foreign to me but as I began to read more I realized this sounded even better than slow cooking! I received the pot in a timely manner and it is a nice looking piece. My first meal was chicken breasts- frozen!!! That's right, I put frozen chicken breasts in with onions and a can of rotel and seasonings. In 25 mins they were tender, moist and able to be shredded with a fork! The chicken was delicious for chicken tacos. I look forward to experimenting more and I did use the browning option which worked well for another meal. You can use this with the lid off. The stainless pot is quite solid and cleans up well. I am very happy with my instant pot so far and recommend this purchase.
