Mirro 92180A Polished Aluminum 10-PSI Pressure Cooker Cookware, 8-Quart, Silver -

Wonderful, it worth to buy, very good cookers

This pressure cooker is freaking awesome. I’m 70 and have used for 50 yrs. This one is so easy to use, I absolutely love it.

Mirro has always been a favorite. This is my second 8qt. Mirro pressure cooker. I wanted to up-grade to the more "modern" model.I ordered it from AMAZON directly. It came securely double-boxed and IN PERFECT SHAPE. I do a lot of ordering directly from AMAZON and have NEVER been let down. Everything is always well packaged, on time, and, in prefect shape.The cooker;The "rattler" is limited to 10psi. which is MORE then sufficient for any application. An added metal screen, to cover the underside of the pressure release tube, is a very good added safty idea.The new "over pressure valve" is a far cry from the old rubber plug that would have to, occasionally, be replaced for assured safe and proper operation. This new valve is an actual, permanent, metal, "valve" that lifts and opens in case of over presure. If the cooker is used "PROPERLY" it will never be needed but it is a great peace-of-mind feature. After all; accident DO happen.The cover-lock works MUCH better then the old system. It's all self contaned and doesn't require any manual assistance to function. I believe that a build up of water would keep the old lock from dropping into place...NOT with this new model.The lid also has a new safty feature; A section of the locking lugs is designed to let the basket blow-out to release pressure.The new gasket seems to be made of a silicone that is MUCH more resilient then the old black, rubber, gasket.The one difference that I don't really care for is that the "pan" is narrower then the old style. Also, a new bottom rack IS NOT PROVIDED with this new cooker.But these differences are, basically, inconsequential compaired to the added safty and ease of operation.I use my MIRRO 8qt. PRESSUER COOKER almost every week. It's easier, faster, and, more flavorful then a long, drying-out in the oven.If used properly it's very easy to clean...You'll NEVER have to scrape burned food from the pan.You can safely set aside any reservations, about using a pressure cooker, you may have had. Follow the directions and you can use it with confidence.

We’ve only used it twice so far but it has worked without any issues. Lid is easy to align and close and once cooking is complete and pot cools the lid removes easily.

It replaces the same one I dropped and broke the handle

I was looking for the actual ‘canner’, which this was not. Looked great but returned.

I have been cooking with pressure cookers for 30+ years now. I had an old Mirro cooker (8qt) that I used for over 20 years. I had to buy a few gaskets over the years but it kept on working. The only reason that I had to purchase a new one is that I had cooked a chicken in it late in the evening and put the cooker out in the garage (it was winter) overnight. Believe it or not, a mouse got into the garage and chewed out the pressure check valve. I could not get a replacement because the cooker was so old!!! I bought the new one and I read the directions. Imagine my disappointment when I read that the cooker would not get hot enough on a ceramic top stove. I have had a ceramic top stove ever since they were invented and have used other pressure cookers on them with no problems whatsoever. Guess what? There was no problem with this one getting hot enough on the ceramic top either! It gets hot, gets to pressure and works just fine! Not sure yet if it will last 20+ years like the old one did, but I hope so!

Love this pressure cooker save time and energy
