Reduce time spent in the kitchen preparing meals with this convenient 12-quart pressure cooker. Pressure cooking cuts cooking times up to 70-percent compared to traditional cooking methods, locking in flavor and nutrients for healthy, great-tasting meals, such as hearty soups and one-dish entrees. Constructed from rustproof heavy-gauge aluminum, the pressure cooker provides quick and even heat distribution. Its selective pressure control keeps the internal pressure steady, allowing a selection of three cooking pressures: 5, 10, and 15 PSI. The pressure cooker's triple-safe design includes safety locks that prevent opening the cooker while under pressure, a reusable overpressure plug, and side-gasket pressure release. In addition, its spring safety device, located on the outside of the lid, pushes on the gasket to prevent the cooker from being pressurized before the lid is closed. Accessories include a cooking/canning rack to prevent foods from sticking to the bottom or to place jars on, plus a user guide with recipes. The pressure cooker measures 15-1/8 by 15-1/8 by 11-1/8 inches and carries a 10-year limited warranty.
