Restrained Disappointment I Didn't Jump on Presto

Pros: Great price! I bought it for only $80 when the Presto was $120. It is very light, which I think can be both a plus and a minus. Easy to carry, not made from the thickest materials. Also positive or negative: the safety feature makes it impossible to close if you try to close it after it's warmed up. Tight only when cold. Cons: Because it only closes when cold, if you need to adjust something inside after the water has boiled, you'll have to let it cool completely before you can close it again. The weight doesn't give you more than 12 psi. The weight also needs to be adjusted if you need to use it for slightly higher pressure. You'll need to add another 10 grams if you want to increase the pressure to 15psi. I taped a three quarter stack of coins on top of mine and now it fits in there. It's a little annoying that the gauge goes up to 20psi, but it won't be that high.

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • Requires Socket
