Kuhn Rikon – Cashback, Rebates & Rewards

I have used a pressure cooker for 35+ years. It was time to upgrade from my 35+ year old prestige 7.5L aluminium pressure cooker to a stainless steel one. We're a family that sticks to what we know and buys for longevity so purchased the same brand but this didn't bode well. Cheaply made and faulty from the get go. So went back to the drawing board and finally purchased a Kuhn Rikon Duromatic Inox set comprising of 4L & 8L x 24cm, 1 x trivet and 1 x lid on the 22/04/24. It came with free postage and packaging and arrived the next day but wasn't in so it came the next day. This transaction went smoothly. Upon opening the box, I was very pleased with my new set of pressure cookers. These are heavy, durable, good quality pressure cookers they equal my leCreuset in quality. I prefer the dual hand grips, my wrists aren't what they once were and I struggle with long handles now, I was worried about this when purchasing the hand grips instead of long handle. I feel I've made the right choice I would never have been able to carry them with only one handle, they're far too heavy for my wrists. Use: Firstly they're shockingly quiet. I have to visually check my pressure cooker has hit the right pressure by viewing the red band on the pin. I can't hear the hissing and jiggling of the weight on this one. This is strange for the first couple of uses but fine now. I've used both of the pans these get to pressure slightly quicker than my old pans and therefore cook quicker. The water for veggies should never go above the trivet. my old baskets fit my new 8L pan. Surprisingly, I've used the 4l pan more than the the 8l (this is used for sunday dinners and soups). But the 4L has come into its own. I've never been able to cook tomato based foods in my old aluminium pressure cooker so was delighted in creating all sorts of dishes in it. I've made chicken Risotto in 12 mins it was to die for, Chilli was amazing (which leads me on to a slight problem). Stews are done in 24mins (brown meat first for flavour and colour and slow release all meats and rice & pulses just turn off the heat). I'm really delighted with my purchase however... When cooking with spices, the smell infuses into the rubber gasket. This is a new experience for me because I've never been able to cook the dishes I'm cooking now and so I decided to purchase a separate gasket so I can have one for certain jobs (It's probably not necessary but would love some feed back how to get rid of the smell on the gasket from kuhn rikon). So on 28/04/24, I attempted to purchase a spare gasket. I ordered through paypal (I tried to pay by card but it kept saying klana (I don't know what this is but don't trust it) so proceeded through PayPal the gasket when through at £15.99 I received a push message through my account to say I've spent that. fabulous I thought. Then was taken back to the merchant site (this didn't happen when I purchased my pans) to state I had to add P&P. so I added P&P then I received a message to say £20.90 has been taken out of my account and the bank declined (double dipping). I contacted Kuhn (no-one manning the phones, leave a message) So, long story short, for some reason their website doesn't calculate the Postage before you buy??? It's the only website I've come across that does this. You go through checkout after paying for your lower end items that don't require free shipping pay then go back to the website and add postage then it checks out again and in my case £20.90 leaves your account. Very Strange Kuhn Rikon. This is the reason for the 4* instead of 5* review. Anyway, I've just purchased a gasket and postage today for £20.90. The way I use my 2 pots and one lid is for a Sunday dinner. I par boil the potatoes in the 4l with lid on for 3mins once up to pressure. then pop the trivet onto of the potatoes to drain excess water into the gravy pan, then pour the potatoes into the roasting dish with the meat juices. The lid then gets put on the 8l pan for cooking the stacked veggies. I then hand wash the 4l dry and put it away instantly. Once the veggies are cooked, I drain the water into the gravy with the water off the potatoes and the meat juices. It makes the best gravy. Always hand wash your pressure cooker. I don't doubt this pressure cooker will be handed down to the next generation. Am I happy with my purchase? Absolutely! The website is a little odd when buying low value items. seamless when purchasing the pressure cookers. They give an estimate of 3-5 days but they ship out with DPD, and arrive the next working day.

It seems everyone here is using it to complain yet my experience was faultless. I order a number of paring knives in the sale and they arrived swiftly and we are loving the knives. Great value and super sharp for prep work.

Very good quality products and delivered in a timely manner. Also the free pan that came with last order is also of very good quality.

I was in the market for a new pressure cooker and decided to try one of the Kuhn Rikon Duromatic range; I'm so glad I did! To be honest there wasn't a lot wrong with my old Prestige pressure cooker, except it was starting to show its age after years of use. That said even new it wouldn't hold a candle to my new Duromatic. The build quality is superb, it's a dream to use and the end results have been excellent. Big thanks to Kuhn Rikon for producing such fabulous cookware.

Excellent company with really personal service and extra top quality goods. I would highly recommend this company and often great bargains to be had on cookware that will last a lifetime for sure.
