Presto® Options™ Multi-Cooker, Steamer 06003

it's exactly what I needed

An important part of my kitchen. I don't want to be without one.

This is a good size cooker. Fries and chicken always comes out just right. Great product.

I LIKE EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE PRODUCT. WHAT I DID NOT LIKE IS THAT IT WAS NOT PUT IN A SHIPPING BOX. THE SHIPPING SLIP WAS PUT RIGHT ON THE PRODUCTS BOX AND MAILED. THERE WAS NO SAFETY CARE FOR THE ITEM SHIPPED. PLUS IT IS A GIFT FOR MY SPOUSE.GOOD THING I CHECKED THE MAIL INSTEAD OF HIM.

When my hubby passed in '08 my son kept his Dad's Presto as a bean pot and deep fryer. And it's still being used by him. I used the pot for making my meatball soup. And I decided it was time to buy my own and not borrow anymore. This one doesn't appear to be as deep as my original, but it's not a problem. And I still make great soups or Hubby's Bean Recipe ! Enjoy :-) Big Smile :-) Nana in se OK usa :-)

I love this multi-cooker! I primarily bought it for frying, but there are so many more options than just frying. I love the frying/steamer basket that came with it too and the clear glass lid to watch the veggies steam. Non-stick inside gives you an easy cleanup. Comes with a manual that not only gives you directions on safety and how to use it, but also gives you ideas on the dishes that can be made in this cooker/steamer.

Good size for cooking for 2-4 eaters. Don't care for the break-apart temperature control: held together with a magnet to allow disconnect if pot is accidentally moved too far away. It's a safety feature to prevent yanking on the cord and possibly tilting and spilling the pot when it is moved farther than the length of the power cord (which seems to get shorter every year making it tougher to position on the counter within reach of the wall outlet). Easy to clean. Regulates temperature well, but takes a bit too long to heat up, especially if you're standing around waiting for the water to get to boiling before adding, say, the pasta noodles. Haven't used the oil fry/steamer basket yet. I don't oil fry, anyway, but I do steam vegetables, like asparagus. I had kept an old electric pressure cooker to repurposes as an electric soup pot. This replaces the old one, so the old one got trashed after seeing this new one works well. The old one, being a pressure cooker, didn't have a see-though glass lid, which I like for the new one to watch the cooking and also keep in the liquid or raise the temperature and reduce spills and splatter.

I use these to fry fish and fries. This model for me is the best that presto makes. The bigger capacity fryers dont hold their temperature once you add the fish and as a result the fish end up soggy.

received this and had used it just 3 or 4 times. Worked fine, but for no apparent reason it will no longer power up. am working on a refund or replacement.

The finish came off after 1 use. I Boiled things and this is what looked like afterwards. Please fix this for me.
