My last purchase of a stainless steel pressure cooker was about 20 yrs ago. A basic pressure cooker like many at the time except the stainless. It had the long pot-like handle as most home pressure cookers at that time. Not heavily build, but held up well, however was a pain to clean with the handles sticking out. The T-Fal Clipso is leaps and bounds above at a lower price in 2016 dollars. It is heavily build with a far greater locking mechanism.
Even though bigger in capacity it takes up less storage space. I use it mostly for cooking bean, which are notoriously difficult.
And it will tenderize the toughest piece of meat. Couldn't be more pleased.
And I'm not easy to please when it comes to appliances! If you are looking for a well made pressure cooker without spending outrageous prices, this one will not disappoint. This was my first having a pressure cooker and I loved it!
It's a simple design that will go with any kitchen and doesn't take up too much space. I love cooking pot roast and always forget to put it in the crockpot with enough time to cook. I don't have to worry about it any longer! It took less than an hour for the pressure cooker to cook my roast and veggies! The roast still came out tender and delicious!
I would definitely recommend this to a friend or any working family with not a lot of time to cook. The T-Fal Pressure cooker also came with a nice cookbook as well. It is easy to use and clean. I would buy this product again and again. I am loving my new Clipso Stainless Steel 6.3 Quart Pressure Cooker.
I am a busy sports mom and with everything going on in the evenings, I didn't have the time to cook a meal in the evenings until I got my pressure cooker. Roasts, Chicken, Pork Loins are hot and ready in over half the time that it would normally take in an oven. Everything comes out tender with great flavor. Also, great for cooking, pumkin, potatoes, and winter squash. I may have to purchase another one because I use mine so much.
There are 2 methods:Slow release - gradually turn the programme selector to the steam position. This is used for stews, vegetable, joints of meat and fish dishes.Fast release - place the pressure cooker under a cold tap directing the flow of water onto the metal part of the lid. This is used for liquid based dishes such as soups, rice, pasta, milk puddings, egg custards, cake and pudding mixtures, recipes containing rice or pasta and recipes with a high liquid content, in order to avoid the liquid shooting out of the steam valve along with the steam when you release the pressure regulator valve.When the pressure indicator is down, all pressure has been released. During the first 5 minutes the absence of pressure is normal. The pressure cooker's temperature is still warming up. But if it still hasn't reached pressure after the first 5 to 10 mins then please check:. the fire is lit and the heat source is regulated to maximum;.
the lid is properly closed;. the gasket is positioned correctly and is not dirty or warped;.
you have enough water in the tank: 250ml (2 glasses) minimum;. the pressure switch is properly set (dependent on model);. the locking indicator or pressure indicator is not blocked (dependent on model);in any case, consult the user instruction booklet for your pressure cooker. For all components, warm soapy water is sufficient for proper cleaning. The stainless steel pot can be put in the dishwasher. The gasket, pressure regulator valve and safety devices should be cleaned and checked separately after each use to make sure the pressure cooker will operate safely during its next use. The lid can also be washed in the dishwasher once the control panel and gasket have been removed from the lid (depending on models).
Do not place aluminium pressure cookers in the dishwasher. The gasket should be replaced every year.
If the pressure cooker does not reach pressure and there is steam escaping around the lid please check that the gasket is fitted correctly. Remplacing the gasket for clamp models (Pressure cooker, 'authentique' or 'Actua'):Remove the old gasket, make sure that the seal housing is clean.
Install the new joint by pushing with your fingers in order to insert it in its space. To avoid damaging the gasket, do not use another object. Remplacing the gasket for other models:Remove the old gasket and replace it with the new one. Check the following elements:.
Did you lower the heat when the steam control valve started to release steam continuously, producing a constant whistling sound?. Did you release steam after the cooking time?If you let the pressure cooker release steam itself without any decompression, food will continue to cook as the appliance will be under pressure.When the cooking time has ended, you should turn off the heat and release the steam.The cooking time depends on the quantities, size of the foodstuffs and your personal tastes. Fill the cooker: minimum 250 ml of liquid, maximum 2/3 of its height or even less (depending on type of food and the recipe). Close the pressure cooker: all our pressure cookers are designed so that if they are not properly closed the pressure cannot build up. Cooking: the pressure cooker must be placed on a source of heat set to maximum.
Then, within a few minutes, it reaches a temperature of over 100C (110C to 120C depending on the type or the position of the pressure regulator valve). The pressure regulator valve allows the steam to escape: the heat should then be turned down and the cooking time calculated. This operation allows an energy saving of up to 70% compared with conventional cooking in water. End of cooking, decompression: when the cooking time has lapsed, the heat source must be turned off and all the steam evacuated by putting the pressure regulator valve to the steam release position. The pressure cooker can now be opened. You can accelerate the release of steam from the pressure cooker by putting it under a stream of cold water.
The pressure cooker has several systems that guarantee perfect safety in operation. Safe closing system (depending on models): The pressure cooker is equipped with a safety system that prevents any rise in pressure if the lid is not completely or properly closed. If the lid is incorrectly positioned, the safety system will prevent the locking indicator pin from rising and consequently pressure from building up.
Safe opening system (depending on models): If the pressure cooker is under pressure, the locking indicator pin is raised and prevents it from being opened. To allow the pin to drop, it is necessary to evacuate the pressure and only then is it possible to open the pressure cooker.
Check the locking indicator pin or pressure indicator (depending on models) position. It must be in low position to be opened. Safety with excess pressure: during cooking, should the steam outlet become blocked, the excess pressure safety systems will come into operation:1) First stage: the safety valve releases the pressure.2) Second stage: the gasket allows the pressure to be released between the lid and the pan.3) Third stage (depending on models): the locking indicator pin rises above the handle and allows the pressure to be released vertically.
To open your pressure cooker, after complete cooling, the locking indicator pin must be put into place. Check you have at least 250ml of liquid in the pot.

Check that the gasket is fitted correctly. Some models have a peg inside the lid that lines up with a little hole on the gasket. If the peg and hole are not lined up properly it will affect the pressure.

The gasket may be dirty, or it is warped and needs to be replaced. Gaskets should be replaced every year. Check the regulator valve is clear and not blocked with any remnants of food. Check that the rim of the pot is in good condition and the pot is not warped. The regulating valve is not positioned correctly or the regulator is not in position 1 or 2 (depending on models). Refer to your instruction booklet for the method used with your specific model.
The heat is too low. Always use high heat to bring the cooker up to pressure. Once that has been done, and you get a strong flow of steam, lower the heat source to establish an even flow and start timing from this point. All recipes require the heat source to be lowered once pressure has been reached. The locking indicator is stuck. This is a locking indicator pin or pressure indicator (depending on models) that rises when pressure builds inside the cooker and drops when it is released. If it does not rise, it may need to be cleaned.
Refer to the booklet for cleaning instructions for your specific model. Check you have fitted the lid correctly.
