Hello, I have a 6 quart Presto Pressure Cooker, and want to use it to steam some food, can someone suggest a strainer or basket or tray that will fit into the pressure cooker and sit above the water line? Also, if you can provide a link to buy one online, that'd be awesome, thanks!
best bet would be what is called a china cap, or chinwa! Looks like a cone with holes and a handle. It can be found at any restaurant supply store, or online.

Where can i find stackable separators for a 6 quart pressure cooker?

I have a Presto 6-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker. I’m looking for stackable separators (aluminum or stainless steel or other type that work in pressure cookers) that will fit my pressure cooker. My grandmother used to cook multiple items at once in the pressure cooker and I can't seem find anything like the stackable inserts/separators/pans/containers that she used to use in India. I’m not looking for the steamers that have holes in them but ones that are containers. I’m located in U.S.A. and hoping someone has some ideas of how to cook multiple items in the pressure cooker or where i could find separators.
My pressure cooker came with the divider for canning, but not stackable..haven't seen that. Anyway, try going to the Presto website and see if they sell it as an accessory. Good luck!

I have been wanting to buy a pressure cooker and was wondering?

This is a 6-quart pressure cooker. I saw it in my little home town hardware store. They are doing a close out on them and they are asking $35. I have been trying to do some comparative shopping when I go to other stores, K-Mart, Wal-Mart & didn't even see one in either of those stores. Is this a good price? This is not a Presto. It is some other brand I have never even heard of before. What do ya think ? Any opinions ?
I used to use a pressure cooker much of the time but now i prefer a slow cooker. Cooking on high when it gets hot it will boil. I am ready for a new one -larger. I let my food cook either most of the day depending on the recipe. It is very good for pinto beans add a small amount of chopped onion-1/2 of a small one. You start out with a few beans so you need to rinse & soak them first and check on water until the cooking is under way. It is good to cook chicken roast or vegetable soup or any other soup. I even make Dumplings in mine. When you get a pressure cooker try to make sure it is stainless steel You may want to go on line and check out those type that don't explode. They are expensive but if i get another one that is what i want(they had them at the fair in different sizes) Aluminun is not safe for cooking because it comes off in your food. I bought a cheaper one and it did not last me very long nor did it work right. You may do fine with the one you have found. It could be one that has been in the store awhile and therefore a good deal.
