Quiet, super-safe, extremely attractive, and "everyday practical"... If you don't associate those words with pressure cookers, it can only be because you haven't experienced Kuhn Rikon Duromatic... and you're in for a big treat!

nullCooking with a Kuhn Rikon Duromatic pressure cooker reduces cooking times (and energy costs!) by two thirds. It makes tough foods tender, and enhances flavor blending for tastier dishes. Kuhn Rikon Duromatic also preserves the vivid colors of your vegetables—as well as more of their nutrients. But in the past, pressure cookers have been big, noisy monstrosities... and more than a little scary! 

Crafted in Switzerland of 18-10 Surgical Stainless with the attention to detail for which the Swiss are world renowned, Kuhn Rikon Duromatic Cookware will revolutionize your perceptions of pressure cooking. With super quiet valves, clad construction, and 5 unique (and truly effective) safety systems, Kuhn Rikon Duromatic pressure cookware is changing the way cooking is done. See the image below for what these five safety features are! 

The Kuhn Rikon Duromatic line features fry pans that pressure cook and braise, with innovative stick resistant stainless surfaces, and interchangeable glass lids. Every Kuhn Rikon Duromatic pressure cooker base features a thick layer of pure aluminum sandwiched between stainless steel for even browning and fast warm up. 

Versatile Kuhn Rikon Duromatic pressure cookers are sized for any task, from singles and small families to the professional cook. And Kuhn Rikon Duromatic pressure cookers work on all cooking surfaces, including induction cooktops.

Gaskets should be replaced periodically, as they will harden over time and stop working — which will cause seal loss, and your cooker won't work. It's easiest to order a with your cooker, so you'll have a backup. (They can also be nicked or damaged by a stove burner, etc.) Tip: When not in use, gaskets can be removed from cooker lid to maintain proper shape for longest life. 

Can you use a Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker for canning?  The answer is here! 

With any pressure cooker, be sure to add sufficient water. Complete evaporation will spoil your food and damage the cooker. If you want, you can keep food suspended above the water by using a trivet.

Pressure Cooker Perfection Book
In Pressure Cooker Perfection the editors at America's Test Kitchen demystify an appliance that to many home cooks remains intimidating (but shouldn't). Modern pressure cookers are safer, quieter, more reliable, and more user-friendly than old-fashioned jiggle-top models. And they can prepare a wide range of foods–everything from barbecue to risotto–in record time.

Cooking under pressure results in better-tasting dishes because every drop of flavor is trapped in the sealed pot. This fact, combined with the shorter cooking time, means that your dishes will be supercharged with flavor. And cooking under pressure is versatile. While they're ideal for roasts and stews, pressure cookers can also turn out perfectly tender beans, grains, and legumes in short order.

If ever there was a cooking method that could benefit from the obsessive trial and error that America's Test Kitchen is known for, this is it. When cooking time is compressed, every minute matters, and when flavors are amplified, even a small change becomes significant. They ran hundreds of tests in fifteen pressure cookers to find out what works and what doesn't, and they've delivered foolproof, guaranteed-successful recipes in Pressure Cooker Perfection. With this foolproof guide to cooking under pressure, every home cook will be guaranteed success.

Kuhn Rikon Smart Lid, Red

Enjoy perfect pan-frying, steaming, braizing, simmering and sautéing with this innovative universal lid from Kuhn Rikon. The innovative Smart Lid features a stepped silicone gasket which forms a tight seal over the top of pans from 9" to 11" in diameter.

The Smart Lid also features a revolutionary pressure-release valve. When closed, the valve traps steam into your pan to contain moisture and once opened, the valve releases steam automatically. The Smart Lid comes with the added benefit of a clear, heat-resistant glass top so you can keep an eye on what’s cooking without lifting the lid.

Nonabrasive, nontoxic and 95% biodegradable. 5 oz tube. Our cleaner works on All Clad stainless, Le Creuset, Chantal and all other commercial stainless cookware.

K-R is a KO for the 3.5L
By Richard L. in CA on 3/25/2019 Verified Buyer

The 3.5L pressure cooker is a joy to use, being smaller and lighter than all others. I like how the smaller diameter allows for other pots to nearby on the burner while still centered over the flame. The quality is excellent, especially the steel's hardness and shininess. The quality control is excellent. Mine was perfect, and I can find flaws, expertly. The 3.5 liter size is perfect for quick and easy throw-togethers for a single person or two where you are not interested in leftovers. One caveat, if you are cooking rice using the 3 min cook-time and 7 min natural release, you'll want to adjust that. Use 5 min cook time and then 5 min natural release if using rice quantities of 1 cup or less. It's also better to weigh your water and rice using the 3: 2 ratio. Three parts water to 2 parts rice by weight. It's perfect. If you use a volume measure like cups (1/2 or 3/4) to measure your rice then you will get wetter rice. Not so good. Rice aside, this is as small as you need to go with a pressure cooker. It's just right for soups for two or just you. It comes to pressure quickly and releases naturally, rather quickly, given its lower air heat mass. (It's smaller). But really, it's not just a pressure cooker but a great pot as well. Get a clear lid for it that's 20 cm across the middle (diameter) to watch your food cook. I have the 12L, 5L, 2.5L, 3.5L, and two Fisslers. This smaller size makes it unique and downright adorable. The K-R cookers are simply the best! Get one!

Quiet, great quality, great service
By Diana M. in CA on 6/04/2020 Verified Buyer

This is my second Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker. The best pressure cooker! Quieter than a microwave, cooks beans well, brown rice doesn't stick to pot, and when I had the first cooker, I called Kuhn Rikon to ask questions about not coming up to pressure, and they always solved my problem and followed up. Will last forever, except for changing a gasket or valve yourself every couple of years. If you're not sure of the problem or can't do it, just send the lid in, and they will do it for you at a good price.

Excellent Quality
By Arleen H. in NJ on 9/16/2019 Verified Buyer

This is the second pressure cooker I've ordered. The first was for me and the second one for a gift. I've had pressure cookers over the years and nothing compares to the Kuhn Rikon Cooker. I ordered the larger size the 7.4 quart. Makes the best mashed potatoes. Cook them in the pot, blanch them, throw them in your mixer, and they make the best mashed potatoes. We no longer bake sweet potatoes. We put in them in the pot and they are cooked evenly. This pot as many uses.

Devoted to excellence: Kuhn Rikon customer for life
By Nan C on 4/13/2016 Verified Buyer

It took only twenty minutes from the time that I opened the package, to cooking with my new Kuhn Rikon. When my other brand of pressure cooker died much too soon, I replaced it with KR pressure cooker. I love the ease of cleaning and maintenance. I'm a Kuhn Rikon customer for life.

Great Tasting Food
By Patricia S. in IL on 6/10/2017 Verified Buyer

I've been making white beans and smoked ham for years, but the batch in the Kuhn Rikon Duromatic was the best I've ever made. I was pleasantly surprised at how much texture and shape the beans retained. I was made a pork roast and was surprised at how juicy and flavorful it was. I can't wait to make another dinner with this cooker.
