Deni Electric Pressure Cooker:
The Deni Pressure Cooker is safe and simple to use. Cook fork tender stew in 30 minutes, roasts in under an hour, and fruits and vegetables in minutes. Put the ingredients in the pot, set the timer, and enjoy a delicious home cooked meal. Brown your meat in the cooking pot before cooking under pressure to make cooking time even faster.
The Deni Pressure Cooker combines steam, heat, and pressure while retaining the nutrients and flavor of the food. The removable five quart non-stick cooking pot provides even heat distribution while the outer housing remains cool to the touch.
Features:
Shortens cooking time by up to 70%
Fully programmable timer
Delay function up to 8 hours
Built-in thermostat for automatic temperature control
Steam release valve allows you to release pressure quickly
Four safety features:
1) The locking pin prevents the lid from being opened while under pressure
2) The unit will automatically shut off when the pressure has exceeded its max
3) The pressure regulator knob will be forced upward if the pressure exceeds its max
4) The inner cooking pot will be forced down and the pressure will escape between the inner pot and the rubber gasket
Pressurized steam cooks healthy meals in much less time than convectional cooking methods
Great for a variety of meals – chicken, roasts, stew, chili, etc.

by Linda (BERLIN, CT) 2 reviews What a great little combo this is! I've never had a pressure cooker before, being a long time slow cooker fan, but I thought I'd give it a try. Pressure cooking is good (especially for risotto!), but what I really like is that it is combined with a browner and a slow cooker. Many slow cook recipes require browning first which means another pan to wash. This eliminates that. I had two other crockpots which I relegated to my basement because this one is replacing them. In addition, the pot has a teflon surface which makes cleanup a breeze. I frequent cooked steal cut oats overnight in my old slow cooker, and at least a third of the oatmeal would be stuck to the ceramic sides. No more. And it automatically switches to the Warm mode when it is done.
My only complaint is that it doesn't come with a steamer insert and doesn't even have one available for purchase. This is pretty dumb considering that it has a steamer setting. For the price, it should have come with it.
by Sandra (Phoenix, AZ) 1 review I have used two of the four functions of this product: the browning and pressure cooking functions. Both worked extradinarily well, and made the product worth the price. I found I needed to add five to ten minutes on to the pressure cooking time most of the time, and I wish they had left the teflon off of the interior pot. Other than that, I'm very happy with this product.
by Robert (Evanston, IL) 1 review This pressure cooker works well and is easy to use. It beeps too loud when buttons are pressed but this can be fixed by putting scotch tape over the speaker.
by Linda (APO, AP) 3 reviews My husband and I are quite impressed with our new pressure cooker. We've tried 3 recipes--chicken and beef and all came out wonderfully delicious. The chicken sort of melts in your mouth and the beef was sooo tender. Easy to use and quiet. You won't be disappointed! Wish it came with a trivet and 7" springform pan to fit in the pressure cooker."
by Eleanor (Estes Park, CO) 1 review This is my second experience with a pressure cooker. The first one was much more expensive and no where near as good. I am enjoying using this appliance and it is such a time saver. Great buy!
