Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of WMF Perfect Plus 6-1/2-Quart Pressure CookerCustomer Review: Pleased as punch! Summary: 5 Stars
I've always had a pressure cooker in my home ever since I was a child. It is a standard issue pot for island people. It was so important to me that when asked by co-workers what I wanted when I got my first full-time job after university, I requested a... pressure cooker. I was quite happy with it for eight years until I lost the weight during my moving process two years ago. It took forever to get it replaced (laziness on my part - I would block the hole with foil!) and it was a big spill on Oscar night this year that led me to finding a replacement.
All stores in my area had only one brand, including T-Fal (which I thought was expensive) and some no-name brands. I researched and finally decided to bite the bullet and buy a WMF as people went crazy about the quality (I did not remember much else about the reviews). I've had it for a few weeks and have circled it with great curiosity and distrust as it did not have the weight, the staple of any decent pressure cooker I've known!
I finally tried it yesterday. I abhor (for want of a stronger word) reading manuals and thought I'd "wing" it; after all, a pressure cooker is indeed a pressure cooker! I started second-guessing my decision as I could not fathom how it could work without the weight and that "steaming" sound that I'd grown to love when my mother was cooking since I was a child. I eventually had to read the manual (more thoroughly so when it started making that otherworldly sound) and realized that I needed to turn the heat down. I was using the 16,000 btu burner on my stove. I turned the burner right down but the sound persisted. I began downgrading to the next level and then the next, the last being a 5,000 btu burner. I left it at low(!) and the humming finally did not return. I was by this time thinking that something was wrong with the pot! There was no noise, no steam (the manual did say that, but surely, no decent pressure cooker can work without steam!), no nothing. I was very tired, so I pulled it off the burner after 20 minutes (I kept my old pressure cooker going for 1/2 hour on the strongest burner when it still had the weight) deciding to cut my losses. Well, who woulda thought, I'd overcooked my food!
The thing works like a charm and on very low heat too!! I was not happy about that and had to kick myself for the amount of liquid remaining in the pot! I'd maintained the portions that I'd used when my old pot was functioning well, and it proved to be way too much! Let me tell you, I placed a long-distance call to my mother to tell her of this wonder! She is already lining one up. Amazing technology, I say!!
