Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Future Buyers: You do not need to order an extra rack. I have actually not used the pressure cooker I purchased yet, but I have used my friend's and it works amazingly. Maybe I missed it, but I looked hard to find out how many racks were included with the cooker and I could only find "comes with rack" (seemed like a good indication that there was only one). On top of that when Amazon suggested based on other's purchases that I buy the canning kit and the additional rack, I figured it was a common need. Sure enough everything arrived and the Pressure Cooker came with two racks, so back my extra rack will go. Three tips from using my friend's All American Pressure Cooker: 1. Do yourself a favor and go to the All American Pressure Cooker website and watch the video on what constitutes a "jiggle". 2. Rest assured that the column of steam you are looking for will not be a thick full column of visible steam, but instead means that there is constant flow of air out of the vent. At one point I started to second guess this and kept looking for a thick visible column of steam and it caused me to over-process a couple of batches. 3. I found it helpful to use a ruler (or other guide) to make sure the lid is on evenly. While I could tell if the cover was way off - it would definitely look uneven - it was nice to have something to measure with to be sure. Also, a lot of people wonder what type of range they can use this with. I have a Frigidaire ceramic electric range top I called them and they said since the Pressure Cooker is quality aluminum that it is fine to use. The only worry is with scratching the surface of the range, but it will be a cosmetic issue not a functionality issue. All American Pressure Cooker HAS AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE - the hours are all Eastern Time and work hours, so not the most convenient, but they have helped answer so many questions about canning and preserving different items not listed in the booklet that comes with the cooker.
