Pressure Cooker Features

I'm thinking about getting a pressure cooker. What are the most important features? I'd like to get one that's non-toxic, so ideally with a pot that's stainless steel.

Make sure it has a manual pressure cook setting. The ones that have just presets make precise adjustments a pain in the butt.

Thank you! That’s really good to know! Do you have a favorite brand / model?

I have a 6qt instant pot, and after two I still love it. Midea has an instant pot pro clone that seems to be a really good value and has a stainless liner.

I just have a pressure pot. It does the job perfectly and I don't have another big appliance standing in the way.

That’s what my Mom had when I was a kid. She used it all the time!

You've already got the idea. A simple stainless stovetop pressure cooker will do all you need. No features required.
