Tristar 8 Qt. Power Cooker Plus

Unbelieveable! Cooks everything so quickly and its moist and delicious!

Nice fast

I’ve had the Power Cooker Plus for a few years now and overall I’m happy with it. There’s definitely a learning curve associated with cooking in electric pressure cookers. This unit has held up very well. I’ve only had two main issues.First, the pot that the food is cooked in is covered in a Teflon non stick material, this has begun to wear off. (Hopefully not in my food)Second, there are no accessories that I can find from this company. I’ve bought a metal platform and a steamer basket but those were just generics from another company. I’d love to find a glass lid.

The power cooker parts works nicely, but I purchased the unit mainly for pressure canning small batches of food. When I read the directions that came with the unit, it said to place the canning rack in the bottom of the unit. The only problem...you have to find the phone number for the company, deal with the rude operators who sound like they MIGHT be speaking English, try and decipher what they are trying to say to you, and then find out that it will cost you an additional $9.99, plus the time it takes to ship a rack to you. If they are going to call it a pressure cooker/canner, then the canning rack SHOULD BE INCLUDED WITH THE UNIT! So, if you are planning on using this as a canner, plan on an additional $9.99 and several weeks to get it to you. Meanwhile, your crops rot!

Still learning how to use it but the more I use it and figure it out the better it gets! I think I'm going to love this thing. Infuses flavor super fast! Delicious food, now to figure out everything I can do...

I really like this pot but it is impossible to clean the inner liner. If I could find an inner liner, I would give it 5 stars.

A family member bought one and had me test it out for her. It was pretty simple to use and worked well. She bought a cheap piece of chuck From Walmart to try it on first. It didn't cook in the 25 minutes the directions said it would. Went back to Walmart and bought 3lb chuck roast with some fat running through it, cooked it for 45 min and used their recipe. Came out tender and delicious. This is a slow cooker and pressure cooker. I think it's a great product for the price. Another thing I liked was the fact the seals can be removed for thorough washing of all the parts.

I've had this pressure cooker for almost 9 months. It worked for a while although you have to pound on the lid when the steam is leaking out to get it to seal. Tonight it wouldn't seal no matter how many times I pounded it. Ended up burning the food because all the steam leaked out. I threw it in the garbage.
