Great video!!! I finally took mine out of the box after 2 years! 😬 I have something in it and i have it all set for 15 minutes. It beeps to start, the little light flashes-then after a couple minutes it beeps and then goes to 00 and keep warm!! I have tried it 3 times now. I’m sure my food is ruined 😭 and my kids ended up with ramen. Ha ha!!! Can you help??
it sounds like it's not coming to pressure. what did you put in it? Do you have the rubber seal around it? is the pressure valve on and set in the down position?
I was doing a breakfast egg casserole. It’s on high pressure for 15 minutes. I check the seal, lid and valve. :( I did boiled eggs right after I took it out and they worked ok. But that was low pressure. Oh well!! I’ll keep trying. Thank you for your help! And your amazing videos!!!
@Penni Lee I think what's happening is that the eggs are settling on the bottom and not allowing it to come to pressure. The fix: Pour some water maybe 1 cup or 1 1/2 cups in the bottom of the pressure cooker, then place the trivet on the bottom. Then use a bunt, cheesecake pan, springform pan or some other type of pan that is oven safe. They need to be 6 inches in diameter or smaller. Then place your egg casserole in it. You should be good to go then.
Thank you for the information about this cooker. I am a senior living alone and bought my Cuisinart Cooker on advice from my two daughters. I am not afraid of steam as I spent my career as a power engineer operating steam power plants. This unit is so simple to learn and use that I was amazed right out from the first try. A very good product indeed.
I used my a few times a good while back. I got lucky and didn’t have any problems to set it the first time the second time I couldn’t get it set to go. I found your video and you were a huge help. Thank you so much for the information.
I was given a brand new one from a friend, but she'd thrown away the instructions with the box. I've been looking at it for a year, but I've been scared of it! I was so thrilled it was the EXACT SAME ONE AS YOUR'S! Wheeeew. I'm getting ready to cook a Pot Roast and I'm so excited! Thank you so much for your straight forward and concise video!
Very cool, Jaxx! After a gazillion years of use by my Grandma and then me, my old school pressure cooker cooked it's last roast a few weeks ago. This would be a very cool replacement. Thanks for the opportunity!
I thank you for your simple explanation. My cooker has been sitting dormant for months because I couldn’t figure it out. Thank you thank you thank you 👏
I MUST be placed in the running for this most excellent Cuisinart Pressure Cooker. If I were to win, I could cross off one of my bucket list items. I have fulfilled all of your instructions and now I sit and wait for the good news mid November.
Have reviewed many electric pressure cookers and this seems the best. My daughter has one and LOVES it! I have cooked with the old pressure cookers all my married life. My husband gave me one and I thought it was not a very personal gift! But his mother used one all his life and his new bride should have one too! 55 years later it is time for me to move on to electric and get rid of the stove top cooker. I actually had a small and large one. Love pressure cooking all my soups and stews and pot roast, etc.
My Cuisinart pressure cooker will arrive in one week or so, at which time I will comment on its merits. All I can say now is that I have watched videos from different types of pressure cookers but find that this one will be all need. I already have an air fryer which I love so I will probably be happy with the browning feature of this unit. I shall be back.
This review will help you save on time you spend in the kitchen, now that I know it's safe and I will be able to set it and don't worry about checking on it. Thanks you so much
Suuuuper helpful! Omg I thought something was wrong with the pressure cooker until I waiting and saw the steam shoot out as I was watching your video lol 😂 thank you so much for your video! 😊
Jaxx, I just made the most delicious Cornbeef in my pressure cooker. It was 3 1/2 lbs. for 85 minutes and it was out if this world tender. Yummy, plus it didn't shrink as much as boiling cornbeef does.
Very helpful I would have liked to see how the pressure valve is put into place. Cannot wait to start using it. Do you have a place to seek great recipes besides in the manual? Thanks
The pressure valve just sits on top it's easy once you look at it. I have a playlist with many recipes follow this link and when the video starts playing look to the right and you will see all the PC videos in my playlist th-cam.com/video/NkESEoScwpU/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for being so clear in your video and for the close-up shots that show how the pressure release valve should move. Also, your fun personality makes the video all the better.
This pressure cooker sounds awesome! It's hard to find a good electric, and for that very reason I simply use my stovetop one... that I have to babysit. I'd be overjoyed to own this because it sounds like it actually works and I can cook all of my favorite recipes without babysitting the stovetop!
Does it sit in the correct place and it just won't "lock" or is it sitting wonky in general? What about the metal piece, the flat piece that the gasket is on that goes in the lid, is that warped or not seated correctly or upside down? And if all those things are correct, I can tell you that it's not intuitive to put that lid on. I'm always having trouble to find the correct "seat" to turn it.
Hi, Thsnks for your video. I was undecided about what to buy in regards to an instant pot or Cuisinart pressure cooker. But they seem like they are the same thing. I you can do a video explaining the difference if there are any. I trust the brand cuisinart. Will wait to buy one until your drawing to win one passes. Looking forward to using my Cuisinart pressure cooker when I get it. Thanks
I recently found one in a thrift store. It has s white o ring inside. I’m trying to figure out where it goes. Based on your video it doesn’t seem to belong!!
Iam not have any pressure cooker like this in my entire life.i would like to have one, cause with this explanetions you feel the need ,of have one.thnks for be so kind &explain well the use.of this precious Cuisinart.i live in belize, hear is to expensive ,I can't t afford to by one.would like to have one.thnks .
my girlfriend just gave this to me for early christmass!!!!! I am so fucking exited im cooking a lentil soup right now.. and I bought a gorgeous piece of new york roast beef so I am on to your cooking video!!!
Love it !!!! just want to know how to do hard boiled eggs to make deviled eggs could you maybe show us a video on how to do that sometime greatly appreciate it !
I use both the Instant Pot and the Cuisinart and love both of them. I am kinda partial to the Cuisinart in all honesty. That being said most of my post and videos are about the Instant Pot because more people are familiar with that particular brand. You can't go wrong with either in my opinion.
What about the little plastic glassy thing at the side down from the pressure valve. You didn't mention it. Seems the cooker doesn't work without it. Mine can't fit 😢
Do you mean the water catcher on the outside? You don't need that to use the pressure cooker. That only collects water. I don't use mine at all. It will work just fine if you don't use/have it.
I have this cooker and I really like it except for one thing. The picture in the manual of how to set the pressure valve is totally confusing. I always get it wrong and the pot just boils and won’t build pressure. So I have to fiddle around with it until steam stops spouting out of the valve. Does anyone have detail about where exactly to turn that thing or a picture, with the relationship of the little valve handle to the big lid handle? Thanks
My valve has a picture of steam and says pressure, no pressure or something like that and when the valve is set to "pressure" it sits lower than the release placement. It's not an extreme shift, so you have to fiddle with it and pay attention a bit. But even now, after 10 years, when me or the wife go to pressure something, we play with it a few times to see where is up n where is down, just to make sure. I don't think, at least mine, you can look at the big lid handle and position the valve in a way that would be intuitive. The two pressure and pressure release are too close together.
I would like to be added to your contest list. I have never cooked with a pressure cooker but it is something that I have been thinking about doing so to win one would be great
We have been talking about getting a pressure cooker for about 3 years now and were actually just window shopping for them again on the weekend. I don't know why I have been hesitant- part of me is worried about safety, so I like the extra precautions Cuisinart takes with this one. I have 3 toddlers at home so it's definitely something I take into consideration, while wanting to cook delicious food at the same time of course. Please enter me in to win, I have liked and subscribed! Thank you!
Someone gave me a brand new one and I'm afraid to use it because my mom had the old fashioned pressure cooker and it blew up so I'm kind of Larry of using my Cuisinart pressure cooker can you give me any tips on it please
There is no chance of it blowing up. These days electric pressure cookers have built in safety features that prevent that. The temps are controlled and have a fuse cutoff which prevents the pressure cooker from over pressuring. They also have locking lids which won't allow it to be opened while it's at pressure . Rest easy Susan they are perfectly safe enjoy your new pressure cooker. Check out some of my recipes in my playlist I give you step by step instructions. th-cam.com/play/PLEF8-HjtwKzwkbumiTdtQw3uBXcIF_oFm.html
I got one at a yard sale almost 2 years ago and just decided to use it, because a friend said they're great, and I should use it. I just cooked a frozen pork butt for 15 minutes, nothing blew up, and I'm doing another 15 on high pressure, as I did on the first. I guess I'm too late to win another one :)) Thanks for the vid. Good info, though I started cooking before I had a clue. Yeah, I'm a guy.
I got one at my sister friend yard sale great price to well my son watch this video on this pot and he comes back out from watching this video told he was going to throw my pot away. I won . I love cooking in this pot it's fast and easy just watch what u doing when cooking in ur pot.
The wobbly pressure limit valve on the Cuisinart is confusing for novices and the directions in the operating manual are unclear as to how to line it up. Fortunately, it's possible to play with it a little (using tongs) when it starts to pressurize if it seems wrong (not recommended, but possible). I'm not sure this video is showing the correct way to line up the valve either but in general the instructions for cleaning are very helpful and it helps get it out of the box and demystify it.
On your lid you should see a 'white dot" on the valve you should have in writing "pressure release" with also a picture that shows steam being released . You should also see the words written "Pressure" with a picture of just a dot. To pressure just line the valve dot to the dot on the lid.. to release pressure just line the steam picture to the white dot on the lid.
I purchased a 8qt Cuisinart pressure cooker it worked 3 times then quit working it wouldn't build pressure, so I exchanged it. I used the new exchange 2 times and it quit working again wouldn't build pressure. Cuisinart customer service representative was no help at all he did say the product has had a known defect but wasn't willing to send a replacement lid where the defect is. I wasted $199.99 plus tax when purchased from Kohl's!
Don't sweat it, Melissa, this is just as good if not better than an Instant Pot. It can do anything an Instant pot can except maybe yogurt and sous vide. Which you still probably could but you don't have the settings. I own both and the Cuisinart is usually what I grab on the regular. Basically, the Instant pot just gets more love on social media and seems to get promoted more in general. With the Cuisinart, because the pot is thicker and non-stick, it's very rare to get the "burn" notice (even though this technically doesn't have that notice). Good luck and If you check my this playlist, th-cam.com/play/PLEF8-HjtwKzwkbumiTdtQw3uBXcIF_oFm.html - I have a bunch of "pressure cooker videos". That being said If you find a recipe you like and it was done in the InstantPot I will be happy to help you with anything. I also have a blog with recipes that you can print out. www.thebeardedhiker.com
I am actually hoping to get a Cuisinart electric pressure cooker someday, because I want to be able to make fried chicken in the wake of that KFC does it at the restaurants. And that because they allow you to use oil in this particular appliance, maybe not very much, I figure that I can, perhaps brown my chicken, that is after dredging it in seasoned flour, brought him or egg wash and breading, then browning it, for about five minutes, then putting the lid on, making sure the lid is secured and sealed then putting it on high pressure For perhaps five minutes more, maybe 8 to 10 minutes more. I did not know two years ago back in 2016, that I would want something like this. After all, I did not know, that KFC used pressure cookers, or pressure fryers if you will. But KFC is not the only one that uses the pressure fryer technique, Popeyes chicken does, pioneer chicken dance, as does Chick-fil-A.

Was given a used pressure cooker - no direction this was exactly what I needed to learn
I'm in for the GAW. Never tried one before, but it looks like a great way to cook quickly and simplify my life!!
Jaxx, It caught me off guard to see you reviewing a pressure cooker but hey why not. Thanks for the opportunity.

I recently got a Cuisinart from family member, & the led on it won't screw down. I've tried EVERYTHING
Does it sit in the correct place and it just won't "lock" or is it sitting wonky in general? What about the metal piece, the flat piece that the gasket is on that goes in the lid, is that warped or not seated correctly or upside down? And if all those things are correct, I can tell you that it's not intuitive to put that lid on. I'm always having trouble to find the correct "seat" to turn it.
Thank you for making this video! I got mine used and it doesn't have any instructions! This really helped thanks!!!!

I grew up with pressure cooking..... Love this!!
You always keep me entertained Jaxx..."Dooo it"

Glad it was helpful!
Love it !!!! just want to know how to do hard boiled eggs to make deviled eggs could you maybe show us a video on how to do that sometime greatly appreciate it !
This looks like a higher quality pressure cooker. Thank you for allowing me to enter. I have been wanting to invest in a pressure cooker.
I notice on your blog you use Instant Pot are you using the "Cuisinart" pressure cooker or the other one..InstaPot?
I use both the Instant Pot and the Cuisinart and love both of them. I am kinda partial to the Cuisinart in all honesty. That being said most of my post and videos are about the Instant Pot because more people are familiar with that particular brand. You can't go wrong with either in my opinion.
What about the little plastic glassy thing at the side down from the pressure valve. You didn't mention it. Seems the cooker doesn't work without it. Mine can't fit 😢
Do you mean the water catcher on the outside? You don't need that to use the pressure cooker. That only collects water. I don't use mine at all. It will work just fine if you don't use/have it.
Loved it! Very clear. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
Do you know how to fix the pressure valve? It's stuck
Great information -very informative!
Glad it was helpful!
I'd love to have a pressure cooker. This one looks great.
Have you ever had a leaky seal. We've changed the gasket and it still leaks steam from the lock area and won't come to pressure. Any ideas?
No, I haven't, if you've changed the seal it sounds like your lid may be warped or something. I would contact Cuisinart.
I have this cooker and I really like it except for one thing. The picture in the manual of how to set the pressure valve is totally confusing. I always get it wrong and the pot just boils and won’t build pressure. So I have to fiddle around with it until steam stops spouting out of the valve.

Awesome!.....I have seen you use this before in earlier videos....awesome prize for a fellow foodie like me...I am in!
If I win the first thing I am going to cook in it is "swamp cabbage!"
What in the world is swam cabbage?
hearts of palm and other Florida swamp related ingredients
I would like to be added to your contest list. I have never cooked with a pressure cooker but it is something that I have been thinking about doing so to win one would be great
I would love to own this Cusinart Pressure Cooker......I have another one...but, this one is an excellent addition....
Great video. I'm using mine now.
I have a homgeek with a stainless steel pot. Good machine. Also have a mini 2quart Cosori.

Have you tried the stainless inserts for these? They are now available on Amazon.
No, I have not but I will go check them out.
I need this pressure cooker,, Mine broke years ago and I have been dealing with a dutch oven all this time.
How do you tell the temperature inside the pot while it's under pressure?
You can't tell, but it's gonna be about 250.
Someone gave me a brand new one and I'm afraid to use it because my mom had the old fashioned pressure cooker and it blew up so I'm kind of Larry of using my Cuisinart pressure cooker can you give me any tips on it please

Love your recipes Jaxx!!
Love this. Pressure cookers are awesome!!
Great video but I'm having a hard time trying to close the lid. Can you show a little more detail on how to close it please?
Ok I figured it out. Wish me luck on my chicken broth
Thinking about getting one of these
I got one at a yard sale almost 2 years ago and just decided to use it, because a friend said they're great, and I should use it.

Hope it was helpful!
How does this differ from the InstaPot?
I got one at my sister friend yard sale great price to well my son watch this video on this pot and he comes back out from watching this video told he was going to throw my pot away. I won . I love cooking in this pot it's fast and easy just watch what u doing when cooking in ur pot.
This sounds really cool
I love this pressure cooker too, I use like an instant pot.😊
Great video .great explanetions of the use.motivated to by more.

Thank it help me a lot how to used my new pressure cooker
Awesome GAW buddy! Looks like a great piece of kit 😉👍🏻
I'll not enter into the winning though buddy 🍻
Love this product...
How do you out the valve
Looks like a nice one!
I purchased a 8qt Cuisinart pressure cooker it worked 3 times then quit working it wouldn't build pressure, so I exchanged it. I used the new exchange 2 times and it quit working again wouldn't build pressure. Cuisinart customer service representative was no help at all he did say the product has had a known defect but wasn't willing to send a replacement lid where the defect is. I wasted $199.99 plus tax when purchased from Kohl's!
Awesome video!
Nice! Thanks for the chance!
I'm having a hard time locking the lid for the pressure cooker
Make sure you have the inner lid and gasket facing in the right direction and that it's seated correctly on the pin.
I was given one of these pressure cookers for Christmas. I asked for an instant pot 🙊🤷🏻♀️ but I’m sure this is just as good.
Don't sweat it, Melissa, this is just as good if not better than an Instant Pot. It can do anything an Instant pot can except maybe yogurt and sous vide. Which you still probably could but you don't have the settings. I own both and the Cuisinart is usually what I grab on the regular.
Basically, the Instant pot just gets more love on social media and seems to get promoted more in general. With the Cuisinart, because the pot is thicker and non-stick, it's very rare to get the "burn" notice (even though this technically doesn't have that notice).
Good luck and If you check my this playlist, th-cam.com/play/PLEF8-HjtwKzwkbumiTdtQw3uBXcIF_oFm.html - I have a bunch of "pressure cooker videos".
That being said If you find a recipe you like and it was done in the InstantPot I will be happy to help you with anything. I also have a blog with recipes that you can print out. www.thebeardedhiker.com
It’s exactly the same thing, just different marketing and fluff....I love Cuisinart brand and be glad you got the Cadillac of pressure cookers!
Beby Girl Now that I’ve taken the time to learn how to use it, I love it too!
Love your videos jaxx.... need me a pressure cooker so I can make your yummy recipes
Great advice. !
I am actually hoping to get a Cuisinart electric pressure cooker someday, because I want to be able to make fried chicken in the wake of that KFC does it at the restaurants. And that because they allow you to use oil in this particular appliance, maybe not very much, I figure that I can, perhaps brown my chicken, that is after dredging it in seasoned flour, brought him or egg wash and breading, then browning it, for about five minutes, then putting the lid on, making sure the lid is secured and sealed then putting it on high pressure For perhaps five minutes more, maybe 8 to 10 minutes more. I did not know two years ago back in 2016, that I would want something like this. After all, I did not know, that KFC used pressure cookers, or pressure fryers if you will. But KFC is not the only one that uses the pressure fryer technique, Popeyes chicken does, pioneer chicken dance, as does Chick-fil-A.
You need a "Broaster" not a pressure cooker. A pressure cooker will never come to pressure without liquid.
It is amazing never seen before,
