PRESTIGE PRDA3 Prestige 3L Alpha Deluxe Induction Base Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker, 3.0-Liter

I recently purchased the Prestige 3L Alpha Deluxe Induction Base Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker, and it has become an indispensable tool in my kitchen. The 3-liter capacity is perfect for preparing meals for a small family, accommodating various dishes with ease. Its compatibility with both induction and gas cooktops adds to its versatility. The pressure indicator is a thoughtful safety feature, providing a clear visual cue when it’s safe to open the cooker. Additionally, the controlled gasket-release system offers an extra layer of safety by releasing steam in case of any blockage. The stainless steel construction not only adds to its durability but also gives it a sleek, modern appearance that complements my kitchen decor. Cleaning is straightforward, thanks to the smooth surfaces and detachable components. Overall, this pressure cooker combines functionality, safety, and style, making it a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to enhance their cooking experience.

excellent choice for those looking for a long-lasting, multi-purpose pressure cooker. It offers superior safety features, even cooking, and induction compatibility, making it a great value for money.

I have been using Prestige Pressure Cookers since 10 years and have no major complaints. It has been the best pressure cooker brand in India. However, this new model came with a cheap quality metal safety valve that broke out of the cooker lid within a week after use. The cooker is not usable and no safety without the safety valve. Beware of buying the model.

I like the speed and ease of use this pot provides.

This pressure cooker does the job and seems to be of high quality and good design. I wish to address some of the 1-star reviews claiming a leaking gasket seal. The gasket is designed to blow out before the cooker becomes a bomb, so care be used to ensure that the gasket is installed correctly, that it is clean, and that the pressure cooker is used correctly. The manual states to "place the Cooker on high heat" initially to start the cooking process. I feel this could be an issue when using certain stove tops that can heat extremely rapidly and pressure builds so rapidly that the gasket blow-by occurs. My recommendation ( if your stove heat very fast) is to start at medium heat to prevent such a rapid buildup of pressure that steam is blown out of the seal. Watch the pot closely and when the "pressure indicator" pops up IMMEDIATELY reduce the heat (to low or medium-low...practice will determine what setting is best). If it "weight valve" doesn't release steam within a couple of minutes, increase the heat slightly. The correct heat setting is obtained when the "weight valve" releases steam every three to five minutes or so.

I bought this specifically for my induction cooktop. I own a couple of bigger prestige pressure cookers so I am not new to this. Works great on my induction cooktop and is the right size for a family of four.

This is excellent pressure cooker, small and convenient, easy to cook and wash. I am enjoying it. First time lid was tight, thought of returning it, second time onwards very easy to use. I am glad I purchased this. Iloved it so much, i bought 4lit one too.I will highly recommend to anyone, who is looking to buy the pressure cooker

It looks like a very nice cooker except for the pressure valve! I always had a rocker type where I could adjust the heat so the pressure valve would lightly "float" on the stem causing very little steam to come out and VERY LITTLE noise being made. This valve, even on low heat, completely seals till it reaches a certain pressure and then suddenly pops opens to let pressure out which makes A LOT OF NOISE!!! As you cook it pops open and then shuts....pops open then shuts...over and over again every couple of minutes! VERY ANNOYING!!!! I now appreciate my rocker valve cooker that makes almost no noise.This may sound like a trivial deal but to me it is MAJOR! I have to go into another room to talk on the phone! If your entertaining or watching television, your having to tolerate this on-off hissing noise!I will be writing this off as a lesson learned and sell it in a garage sale.
