Kuhn Rikon Anmeldelser 109

My old pressure cooker gave out a couple of weeks ago and I was about to replace it with the same model when I saw the Kuhn Rikon website. I plumped for the Duromatic inox pressure cooker four litre, 24 cm with side grips. I also purchased a spare trivet and three section steamer.

All items arrived really well packed by next day delivery. They gave me a free non stick milk pan. Both are excellent quality. The pressure cooker is stainless steel with a very heavy base and sturdy domed lid, which attaches securely to the base via a turn and twist mechanism. The pan is quite small, as I mostly only cook for two of us.

It doesn’t work like any pressure cooker I’ve ever had. There is a button on top, which pops up when the pan reaches pressure. The pressure level is controlled by heat. There are two red lines on the pop up rod, denoting different pressure levels according to the food you are cooking. When the pan has reached the first level, the first red line appears. Leave it on high heat and the second line appears. When you have the required pressure level, you turn down the heat to maintain sight of the red lines/s and cook for the required time. Once cooking has finished, take it off the heat for a couple of minutes and the button sinks down and the slight hissing stops. Then you can either depress the black button to release the pressure, or run the unopened pan under cold water to de-pressurise faster.

It’s very quiet in cooking too - none of that noisy hissing you get on conventional pressure cookers. The results are really good - I’ve used it twice, once for a beef brisket and once for stew. Both were fab. It comes with a comprehensive guide to cooking times for different foods, and some recipe suggestions. The cooker also comes with a trivet as standard, but I bought the spare as it was reduced, as was the three section steamer.

On the strength of this, I bought the larger 6 litre pressure cooker for family meals and I love these pans already. The milk pan (of which I now have two, having received a second one with the second pressure cooker) is also excellent quality stainless steel with a sturdy non stick interior. All in all an excellent experience all round and I’m glad I switched to this easier and more modern way of pressure cooking.

Awful customer services from Paige Charles
Dont bother waste your time and money because they don't help

We had a great experience with Kuhn Heating and Cooling. The communication and process of installing a unit in our home were top notch. The service technician Tim was excellent. We had a tricky installation and Tim was patient and thorough in the process.

hi, in December i buy 1 offer from them ( Duromatic Inox Pressure Cooker Set Side Grips 4 & 8L/ 24cm ) without think ( how can i use 2 of them in the same time if they coming with 1 lid cover pressure )..so,now i have 2 pressure cookers with 1 lid cover, which i cant use it...i was send them emails to them to ask for 1 more pressure lid ( to buy it ) and they said - dont sell it separately..so, dont buy 2 from them offer , because you cant use it in the same time,both of them, and you waste money for nothing..that was my experience...! Thanks.

Great quality overall.
Bought from their Amazon store, the large pressure cooker pan. So going one year later with no wear and year except for the pressure valve which was replaced already but broke again. We just use without it. I think the plastic part is flimsy or maybe because of the proximity to heat it becomes easier to snap. Still goes customer service and I'm sure if we emailed them they would replace. Overall I love this pan

Top quality, good value, extensive range, super fast delivery, funky trendy gadgets (should they be your thing) AND the best customer service!
Well done guys n gals on just a brilliant company.
Thank you 😊

Super customer service

The base of my much used and much loved Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker started to de-laminate. The shop where I bought it has gone and I didn't have a receipt. But I emailed the KR customer service team in the UK and sent a couple of photos and within a week they sent me a replacement base. Really great and friendly service.

Sind von selbst auf die glorreiche Idee gekommen, dass effizientes Kochgeschirr isoliert sein muss. Die doppelwandigen Töpfe sind toll.
