Pressure cookers

[LeadFarmer]

I've decided to buy one, and thought it would be as simple as ordering one from Amazon that's induction hob friendly, but every one I look at has reviews saying they leak or have faulty pressure valves.
My parents had one when I as a kid back in the 70's, surely if they worked then, they should work now??
Anyone got one that doesn't leak or explode all over their kitchen?

Have you considered the electric ones? Instant Pot and Ninja?

Instant Pot all the way. Brilliant.

We’ve had one for 15 years, French brand, SEB.

It’s been excellent and never leaks. Still on the original seal. Induction friendly.

I have, but fear it being yet another device that collects dust in a cupboard, along with the ice cream makre, smoothie maker, yogurt maker, bread maker, soup maker.....

Why would the electric one gather dust, but a manual one not?

Not all stove top Pressure Cookers are created equal, you want one which will run at high pressure, up to 15 psi, while many can only run at around 9psi. It makes a big difference when you are cooking something for the longer periods of time, such as cheap cuts of meat.

I opted for a Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker about 6 years ago and it has been great, pricey but I deemed worth it.

They look good, which model would you recommend?

Well the one we've got is a DUO-60 but we've had it a couple of years now. They do models now that have steaming and air-fryer functions as well. Mrs U would like one of the air-fryer ones and if it means I can have chips more often, I see no reason to dissent.
