Tower T80245 Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker with Steamer Basket, 3 Litre, Stainless Steel, Silver

I use my pressure cooker a lot - probably two or three times a week. Pressure cookers save money, because they don't take as long to cook things, but produce (in my opinion) much better results than, say, a microwave. I use mine for things like making my own bone broth Very easy and quite quick), cooking brown rice, cooking beans and making delicious stews, casseroles and curries. I've had an earlier version of these Tower One Touch cookers for several years and it's been reliably brilliant. But unfortunately I managed to drop the pressure cooker lid from some height onto a road, and the plastic twist-lock was smashed and the lid dented so it no longer worked, so I needed to buy a new one. I cosidered other styles and brands for a while, then realised that cooking with this one is so reliable and automatic that I wanted to stick with it. It's very well made, easy to use and clean, and easy to obtain replacement seals when needed. The twist lock is designed so that the pan can't be opened until the pressure has reduced, so one of the 'dangers' that people sometimes worry about with pressure cookers is avoided. The instruction manual with the pan is very clear and includes step-by-step 'how tos' on both use and cleaning; sample recipes and a troubleshooting guide. I think even someone who has never used a pressure cooker could learn how quickly with the guidance given. If you want to save power, save time and save money while still cooking the sort of dishes that usually take several hours, I'd thoroughly recommend this pan.

I've used pressure cookers for over 5 decades. This is the best one yet. Well made, sleek, good looking and feels rugged and durable. Capacity is perfect for two to four people depending on what you're cooking, obviously. No leakage, solid locking mechanism and safety features. Functions perfectly for everything from soup to joints. Excellent to have two pressure settings and steam release. Cooking times are reduced dramatically. A 750g Gammon joint cooked to tender perfection in 25 mins. Excellent value for money as the one I bought was a "returned but in mint condition item". The manufacturercs box wasn't even damaged. Saved about 25% on brand new price. Result!

Well received

Great item compact and simple to use

Being vegan and loving many types of beans this thing is not only essential but a blessing. So easy to use and cooks soaked beans in minutes.

My brilliant Tower pressure cooker has now been in use for roughly 12 months and the time has now come to think about replacing the sealing ring/gasket. My rating for this pressure cooker would have been 5 star had it not been for the impossibility of sourcing a sealing ring. Here is part of my correspondence with Tower, who apologised for not having the relevant item in stock but who promised to look again: “I appreciate your response. However, it doesn’t do anything to remedy the situation. If you don’t have spares now, it is unlikely that they will magically materialise in the future. Here is a suggestion for Tower as a brand/manufacturer. Unless the intention is to deliberately build in obsolescence, then consumables, such as sealing gaskets, should be manufactured/ordered in greater quantities than the original product to ensure a stock that is readily available. This would ensure customer satisfaction.” I have little doubt, sadly, that obsolescence was the intention. If not, sourcing replacement consumables would be straightforward. Hey ho. Lesson learned.

Small little pressure cooker. Can easily fit a whole chicken. Perfect capacity for singles or couples. Easy to storage. Works brilliant makes cooking quick.
