The Best Stovetop Pressure Cooker

Any stovetop pressure cooker will deliver tender meats, supple beans, and one-pot meals in a fraction of time it would take in a regular pan. But a great one is also user-friendly and well-built. After cooking 15 pounds of brisket, 13 pounds of black beans, and 12 pounds of rice, we found that the Fissler Vitaquick 8.5-Quart Pressure Cooker is the best in its class. It beat the competition with its smooth locking lid, superior heat distribution, and straightforward design. The Fissler is safe and easy to use, but if you prefer an electric pressure cooker, we have a guide to those too.
