Kuhn Rikon Family Cooker

Quiet, super-safe, extremely attractive, and “everyday practical”… If you don’t associate those words with pressure cookers, it can only be because you haven’t experienced Kuhn Rikon Duromatic… and you’re in for a big treat!

Cooking with a Kuhn Rikon Duromatic pressure cooker reduces cooking times (and energy costs!) by two thirds. It makes tough foods tender, and enhances flavor blending for tastier dishes. Kuhn Rikon Duromatic also preserves the vivid colors of your vegetables—as well as more of their nutrients. But in the past, pressure cookers have been big, noisy monstrosities… and more than a little scary!

Gaskets should be replaced periodically, as they will harden over time and stop working — which will cause seal loss, and your cooker won’t work. Tip: When not in use, gaskets can be removed from cooker lid to maintain proper shape for longest life.

Can you use a Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker for canning?When the first red ring appears on the Kuhn Rikon pressure valve, the internal pressure has been raised to 8 pounds per square inch above the external pressure (235 degrees Fahrenheit). When the second red ring on the valve appears, the internal pressure has been raised to 15 pounds per square inch above the external pressure (254 degrees Fahrenheit). Kuhn Rikon doesn’t offer canning directions, but if the 8 & 15 lb. pressure indications fit into the canning directions you’re following, Kuhn Rikon cookers will do a great job for you!

With any pressure cooker, be sure to add sufficient water. Complete evaporation will spoil your food and damage the cooker. If you want, you can keep food suspended above the water by using a trivet.
