Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Nesco American Harvest PC-6-25-30TPR 6-Quart Multifunction Digital Pressure Cooker
Customer Review: Easy to use, but be very careful when venting the cooker
Summary: 5 Stars
Great item. I am cooking fastastic meals in little time. Outstanding product. However, you have to take time to learn how to use the pressure cooker properly and safely. Of course, you must read the directions for cooking and maintence. But, beyond this safety precaution, you must learn your cooker's charteristics, such as how and when to use the browning setting or high and low pressure settings. Be sure you are attentive and very careful when venting the coooker. If not, you can end up with a face full of boiling hot steam. It can not be stressed enough, be careful and attentive when using the cooker.Customer Review: Love this cooker
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had my pressure cooker for about 3 weeks and I really love it.Tonight I cooked country style ribs for about 25 min. and then put on the grill and they were so tender. Everything I cook has been good. It is so quiet and does not seem like the ole timey pc's. I used one of those for yrs.but this is so much better. Fix and Forget it almost. I haven't used the slow cooker part or the steamer yet but am planning on soon. I have also cooked dry beans and they turned out good. Took about 50 min. and they were tender,I didn't soak them or anything. I sing the praises of this cooker to everyone.Customer Review: Nice cooker
Summary: 4 Stars
Purchased this for my husband and I am using it more than him! Seems to work well when slow cooking. I used it to do a whole chicken (took 3 hours) and a pork roast (took 3 hours) and they turned out great. Tried the pressure cooker part just for about 3 minutes to finish out the chicken (probably didn't need it but wanted to see how it worked) and it did fine. The quick release works really well when you don't have time to let sit to cool down. I think this works better than a regular roaster or crockpot. Seems to cook more evenly and faster. Overall a great product!Customer Review: Dented on arrival [FIXED]
Summary: 1 Stars
I wish I could review this pressure cooker, but it arrived with a big dent in the side. Not due to shipping, by the way - either it came that way from the factory, or somebody else returned it and they turned around and shipped it out... I'll let you know when I get a replacement...
EDITED 11 Apr...
Amazon was very prompt in sending a replacement. Tried the new one last night - worked like a charm! I'm changing my rating to 4 stars. Only nit pick is that the steam release lever is too short - be a little careful when releasing pressure).
Customer Review: Really Great
Summary: 5 Stars
This cooker is one of the few appliances that really lives up to your hopes for it. It works as advertised, and you'll probably find yourself using it very often. It's so easy to just put food in, set the timer, then come back to a very tasty result. Far easier than other kinds of pressure cookers. And why pay more for a Cuisinart product. In the past few years I've found their products generally over priced and inferior in quality. I got a pannini press and after one use the numerals and markings on the dials simply melted off! Anyway, Nesco is great.
