Would have to say this is a wonderful kitchen accessory
Would have to say this is a wonderful kitchen accessory. Makes things easier starting out with a bigger unit. I like to cook and storage is one of the things I lack. So canning with confidence has been a relief with some light reading and watching some YouTube videos.
The learning curve has been easy. Main thing is to allow it to cool before removing the weight off the peacock "Zero pressure ". Then letting it cool some more before opening the lid. Retains heat well. The side wall thickness is good so keeps consistent heat. Heat up is pretty fast, since it is gasket-less use some Vaseline on the bottom lip, helps it seal better. Trust me. Worth dabbin a little on there.
The gauge is nice, even though you can judge pressure after awhile with just the weight if you pay attention. Would I buy another one if this went missing? You know I would.
I had bought a Waring SB30 1300-Watt Portable Single Burner to use with this unit. Well worth having the stand alone range and free up the stove. Down Time is awesome. I use this to make quick meals of course but also help with camping supplies.
I would definitely recommend this product. The construction and the handles are a big plus. Hope this was helpful.
