I've never had a pressure cooker before and I love it!  I had no idea who wonderful cooking this way could be! This pressure cooker seems to be very good quality and it cooked just fine. The reason I'm giving this only 4 stars is I had a hard time getting one of the handle to stay on. You have to screw the handles on yourself and one of them just didn't stay on. It seems to be on tight now so we'll see how this holds up long-term, but for now so far so good!
