- Is this a stovetop or electric pressure cooker?
- It is a stovetop pressure cooker. You heat it on a burner and control pressure with the lid and valve, not a plug-in base.
- Can I use metal utensils in it?
- Better not. The non-stick interior scratches with metal tools, so use wood, silicone or plastic.
- Does it work on induction cooktops?
- Check the specific listing for your model. Some Kuhn Rikon stovetop cookers are induction-compatible and some are not.
- How is it different from a standard pressure cooker?
- It is wider and shallower, so you can brown meat in the base and then pressure-cook in the same pan. A tall cooker holds more liquid but is less suited to searing.
- What can I cook in it?
- Braises, pot roasts, stews, beans and soups. The wide base is best for dishes that start with browning.
