(3 stars) - Cooks Great-Pressure Problem
I received this cooker for Christmas 2008 ( a Wal Mart purchase).

It was my first pressure cooker, and it cooked wonderfully (though it was a bit tight for two chickens); until it failed.

After about 6 uses, it would no longer establish pressure. The red pop up on the handle (indication that pressure was up and handle locked) started popping up to about twice the height it normally emerged from the handle (when the cooker worked) and steam vented from all around the handle junction with the lid.

I tried everything the book said to do. The handle was tight. I inspected, streched and oiled the gasket. No luck. I called Mirro (Wearever) and they told me to boil the gasket for 15 min. and then oil it. I did all these things, to no avail.

So I returned it. Now I'm going to try Presto.

(5 stars) - Mirro 8 QT Pressure Cooker
Mirro's are great. I've owned them for over twenty years. The newer one's are very quite, takes getting used to it from the old ones that made really made noise when releasing pressure, so you could here it in another room. Bought another brand a few years ago and it would not hold a pressure. Probable needed a new gasket, but for a little extra, I'd rather have the Mirro.
