Cuisinart CPC-600 1000-Watt 6-Quart Electric Pressure Cooker, Brushed Stainless and Matte Black Review
I took years to perfect the art of making Chinese soups. There is a technique that requires browning and simmering the bones to extract the flavor and collagen from the protein. The old fashion way takes two hours or more to achieve. This wonderful pot takes only about 20-30 minutes under pressure! I had never used a pressure cooker and was very cautious after my mom had a mishap in our kitchen when I was younger. I remember seeing my mom with burn marks on her face from opening the lid on the Presto much too early. I was encouraged to see this electric cooker on the Iron Chef episode with Bobby Flay. He was able to make his stew tender and flavorful within his one hour time constraint!
Things I love about this appliance:
Easy to set and walk away with cook, simmer, saute, and warm.-I can fit in a quick workout prior to chowing down on my short ribs or stew!
Nice coated pot with a very sturdy lid that locks in and does not release unless the pressure is safe!
Quick release valve pressure feature or slow normal cool down release for the lid.
Neat and easy to clean pot.
Well constructed pot that feels sturdy and safe to contain the pressure and the heat.
I continue to experiment with this wonderful pot and I look forward to further utilize a two or three stage soup or stew. it should be much easier and faster to add the quicker cooking herbs using the quick release valve after the “base” of the soup is completed.

Cuisinart CPC-600 1000-Watt 6-Quart Electric Pressure Cooker, Brushed Stainless and Matte Black Overview
Cuisinart updates a classic! Our brushed stainless pressure cooker is safe, easy to use, cooks up to 70% faster than conventional methods and cooks healthier, too. Steam trapped in the pot builds up pressure that creates hotter temperatures, and the pot is so tightly sealed that vitamins and minerals can’t boil away. Foods stay moist and flavors stay true. Features variable pressure and temperature setting, plus Browning, Simmer and Saute functions for perfect roasts, stews, vegetables, cheesecake or custard. The Cuisinart Pressure Cooker is absolutely safe, with a lid that has to be locked in place before pressure builds, and stays locked until pressure is released. Cook faster, eat healthier, with Cuisinart!
