I’ve had my current Prestige pressure cooker for almost 9years (been using a pressure cooker all my life). It is leaking steam and it takes forever to cook stuff. Thats when I did some research and looking at the reviews on amazon, decided to order Prestige 4L. I like aluminium cookers because they are lighter, easier to clean & don’t have any rusting issues like stainless steel ones do.
With amazon’s unbeatable service, it arrived a day earlier than expected. The day this pressure cooker arrived, my gf decided to cook beans to see how well it worked. The size (4L) was just right but putting the cover on the cooker was a little bit of a learning curve since its a very tight fit to the base bowl. We put the beans in and when we tried the put the cover on it, a big chunk of the handle came off. When I looked at it out of the box, the handle did look very cheap & flimsy but I didn’t know that it was so brittle and delicate.
Before I bought it, I read about the handle issue in the reviews but sometimes people are very rough in their handling and thats why things don’t last too long. So I thought I’ll be okay but boy was I wrong. Overall the cooker is very solid & well built other than the handle. We did end up cooking the beans just to test it out and in no time the beans were ready. However with a broken handle right out of the box, it wasn’t sitting around in my kitchen. Shipped it back to amazon and got a refund the moment I dropped it off (Amazon, I’m a fan!). Now I ordered a “Hawkins Contura 3.5 Liters Aluminum Pressure Cooker” which seems a little more well built. Arrives tomorrow, will see how it goes.
Overall – a good cooker with a solid build but the manufacturer decided to save a few cents by putting a cheap handle and destroyed an otherwise good product. Lost my business, what a pity.

I recently purchased the Prestige Popular Aluminium Outer Lid Pressure Cooker, 4 Litres, and it has been a fantastic addition to my kitchen. The virgin aluminium construction ensures durability and even heat distribution, making cooking faster and more efficient1. The outer lid design is perfect for both separator cooking and direct vessel cooking, offering great versatility1.
The safety features like the Gasket Release System (GRS) and Metallic Safety Plug (MSP) provide peace of mind while cooking1. The sturdy handles offer a comfortable grip, making it easy to handle even when the cooker is full1. Cleaning is a breeze, thanks to the smooth finish and easy-to-clean design.
Overall, this pressure cooker offers excellent value for money with its combination of safety, durability, and efficiency. Highly recommended for anyone looking to upgrade their kitchen essentials!

Excellent product for the price. Great beginner pressure cooker. 4 liters is the perfect size.
For future pressure cooker products I purchase I would like to see: Pressure indicator, temperature indicator, stainless steel, and detailed instructions. (I have to manually write down stovetop heat settings and time at what heat to avoid pressure release valve engagement). Could not find detailed instructions or an online video description of how it works. Was difficult to find out how to lock the cooker. You have to press down on the lid firmly, then twist.
Pros: comes with great quality cheap, good safety pressure release, effective, size is just right.
Cons: releasing steam is Loud, pressure release valve is loud, hard to control pressure without a gauge, NO Detailed Instructions, not stainless steel. Locking mechanism awkward.
overall it was the best one for the money.

The pot itself is fine – works like it’s supposed to and I feel it’s a good value. I’m sure with use I’ll learn to better use the pan. That said… My daughter bought me the Ninja FD401 Foodi 12-in-1 Deluxe XL 8 qt. Pressure Cooker & Air Fryer. I love it, however, it’s big… Cooking for two I wanted something smaller/easier and this seemed to fit the bill. I don’t have much experience with pressure cookers, but it seems I had to cook my roast about half again what I did in the Ninja. ~50mins in the Ninja vs 75 in the pot – both natural cool-down – and it still wasn’t quite as tender as the Ninja. Was it me? the pan? maybe a janky piece of meat – I don’t know. It seems a quality product, so I look forward to experimenting and finding the best use for the pan.

Great size when cooking items that expand like beans or for items that require a lot of liquid. The first things I cooked when I received it was precisely beans and pot roast. The beans where so soft and it handled to perfection all the liquid (3/4 filled) that I wanted. The meat came out so perfect and soft to chew.
I get mad at reviews that mention that the lid does not close or does not close properly. To begin, the gasket is brand new, so it will require you to press a bit the lid. You must adjust the lid and pot correctly so it closes. If you do not know how, check videos online that show you how to close the lid.
Some reviews also mention how scary it is the noises that come from it. This is to be expected. I have been using pressure cookers for decades and yes, they are noisy. If you use gas, it will be noisier and you will hear it as if you were hearing an old steam train. If you use electric stoves, the will be like hissing. Either way, they make noises. The most important thing here is that you keep it in low-medium on your stove. This is a pressure cooker. If you put in high heat, the pressure will be extreme, and yes, it will explode. Read your instructions.
The last thing I see in the reviews is about the discoloration or change of color. This item is raw aluminum. It will change in color. It is not going to poison your food and it is not going to the change the effectiveness of the product. If you cannot tolerate the change in color, I suggest you to spend a bit more in buying a stainless steel one.
Again, I have been using pressure cookers for decades and I do not see how I can live without one. This is a great item. They are lighter than the ones I used to buy 20 or 30 years ago, but they even though they come lighter now, they are still a great item to have to speed the cooking process and preserve the taste, color, and nutrients of the food you are cooking.
I bought the really small one of 2 litters too because sometimes I just want to cook for example a couple of beets that everyone in my family hates, and I do not make them because they take too damn long in a regular pot. It works perfectly too.
I recommend this product. I have always bought Presto which are great, but I cannot longer afford. They are very expensive, so this item came on sale, and I am not disappointed at all. Excellent buy.

I have had this little gem for over 4 years and it idd change the way we eat at home. Healthy meals and in no time. The only con is the fact that I cant seem to find the rubber seal/gasket for this item as the current one is worn and the cooker is not working as it should be
