Customer Reviews

Healthy Helper
I have owned this cooker for at least 10 years. Yes, like any cooker it takes a little practice to use it. I am placing an order for a new one as I found the build quality and durabilty over the years unbeatable. I have a family and use the cooker probably 3/4 times a week at least. One pot meals, healthy pulses, soups you name it that cooker has coped with anything. I can't believe the other reviews--look at the price compared with the others- much cheaper. My mother had an aluminium one which was good, but times have moved on and the stainless one gets my order.

7 litre version just as bad
I have just bought a 7 litre version of the Prestige Smartplus pressure cooker having owned a prestige cooker for 20 years. It is useless. It leaks steam from the valve and constantly drips water and doesn't come to pressure for a long time. Half a pint of water isn't enough to cook simple potatoes with as this leaks before pressure is reached.

Extremely disappointing!
I have used a pressure cooker all my life. Never expected such a bad quality product from prestige. It is not a pressure cooker actually. The steam leaks through the valve all the time. So there is grater water loss and longer cooking time. I over cooked something and within 5 minutes the safety plug on top melted along with all the red colored plastic. This was a brand new cooker. I just lost my 35 pounds. All the add on features like double pressure etc are all eyewash. They don't add any value. If Prestige keeps on doing this, they will go out of business soon.
