disappointed July 17, 2008 Prestige Smart Plus Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker, Curry Pan I am disappointed by the performance of this product, though I has not failed as such. I have used it for about 6 months now. The cooking times are longer as it produces only 12 PSI and it constantly looses steam, which adds to the amount of fluid needed. Before I cottoned on, I burnt food several times. I bought this pressure cooker to replace my old (German) one which dropped form the drying rack and the handle broke off :( I agree with the other review. If I had to buy another one I would go for Tefal.

Very disappointing indeed. Within weeks of buying it, parts began to malfuction and fall off. The screw attaching the handle to the pan loosens every time it is washed or used, and now, despite tightening, water leaks through this uncloseable gap, preventing full pressure from being achieved. The grey plastic ring (in which the weight sits)fell off in the washing up recently, and the gasket is extremely temperamental (although recently replaced). It is now completely useless as a pressure cooker - won't come up to pressure at all. I recommend Tefal.
