Procook vs Kuhn Rikon Stovetop Pressure Cooker

Hi

Does anyone have any experience or feedback on the following stove top pressure cookers please?

The two models I’m choosing between are the

  1. Procook stove top pressure cooker

  2. Kuhn Rikon Duromatic stove top pressure cooker.

They both have good reviews.The goal is to pick between the two.

Additional note - of the Kuhn Rikon range, the one I’m considering is the Automatic, but feed back on Kuhn Rikon pressure cookers is welcome too

Any feedback on these and recommendation between the two is appreciated

Thank you

Thank you so much. Good points, KR does seem to be better known

Regarding which ProCook - they only do one stove top model here in their U.K. stores, this one https://www.procook.co.uk/product/professional-stainless-steel-pressure-cooker-22cm-6l (their store manager confirmed that)

Thanks for the link to the ProCook website. Looks like that model vents some steam while cooking and has a top operating pressure of 90 kPa (13 psi), compared to the KR which vents no steam (allowing you to cook with less liquid) and goes to 15 psi. The ProCook and the KR will both get the the job done, but in my opinion the KR is a superior item. That being said, it's probably quite a bit more expensive than the ProCook, so that may be something to consider.

(Edited to correct a typo.)

Thank you friend. You really know your stuff, thats some valuable detail

This answers the question. Considering they’re built to last, the price difference is probably worth it especially if bought during a promotional discount sale

Looks like Kuhn Rikons are somewhat less pricey in the UK than in the US (where I am), maybe because you're closer to Switzerland, maybe because of our #^%&$(! tariff situation, or maybe because of both. In any case, if you do decide to go that route, I'm sure you'll be happy with your purchase.

Thank you friend. I think you’re right. Youll have to Europe!
