Kuhn Rikon Duromatic Micro Microwave Pressure Cooker - Red/Graphite

I bought this because it was low enough to fit into my microwave oven, and because the reviews were good. I have cooked chicken thighs and drumsticks and they come out perfectly after 15 min in a 900w. microwave. I also tried a small pot roast. After 15 min. the roast was still tough so I removed the vegetables and put the roast in for another 15 min. Still tough. I finally gave it 10 min. in a stovetop pressure cooker and it was just right. To be honest, beef does not microwave well in any container. Country style pork ribs came out well after 20 min. This is my go-to cooker for a quick meal: from countertop to table in half an hour. I do not hesitate to give it five stars.

Its just another plastic mucrowave gadget nothing special or hugh tech. Maybe $40 would be a better price point. I think $65 is ridiculous. It works. I like it but not a $65 gadget.UPDATE: March 9, 2023Valve popped off nowhere to be found, item now useless as there is no where to buy a replacement. $65 piece of plastic.UPDATE: I emailed Kuhn Rikon. They never replied. Next thing I know I have three new valves in my mailbox.THANK YOU KUHN RIKON.

Junk. "Swiss made" in China ! Impossible to control in microwave- either the power is too high and steam pours out and the food is burnt or too low and nothing cooks. Returned it. Don't waste your money on this - buy a stovetop stainless one.

I could not believe that you cook pressure cook in the microwave. But sure enough I went from frozen to cooked in about 35 to 40 minutes. The only thing that I would say was sometimes it was hard to get the lid to close but with a little practice it becomes easier definitely worth the money I have purchased 2 of these. As a side note do not forget to put water in the bottom I forgot one time and it melted the entire pressure cooker

I love pressure cookers and Kuhn Rikon products so I had to try it. So glad I did as it is my go to cooker for vegetables and eggs. Throw them in, add some water and stick her in the microwave. Rinse off and throw her back in the cabinet when done, THAT easy! My current favorite kitchen gadget. I use it every single evening for cooking at least one item.

Let me start with saying the primary reason for 3 Stars (= it is okay) has to do with a couple of issues. The box, and molded into the lid of this unit are the words, "MAX MICROWAVE POWER 900 WATTS". Most microwaves here in the USA are at least 1000 watts, and in the case of mine, 1,700 Watts. Nothing in the instructions tell you it is okay to use a higher wattage microwave. So, after getting the Kuhn Rikon Duromatic Microwavable Pressure Cooker, I didn't feel safe using it. If it is safe I expect the manufacturer to have instructions on how with our higher wattage microwaves.I ended up going to Kuhn Rikon's website and left a questions about if I could use it or not with my higher wattage microwave that is very typical here in the USA. I am happy to say that Jill replied within two days. She really didn't address my microwave power of 1,700 watts. This is what she said, "Thank you for your inquiry. Although the manual mentions 900W, we did test the recipes in the book here in the USA at 1100W without any issue."I wrote back and asked how I can use it with my microwave and this was the response, "Yes, you can safely run the power at 50% and will not damage the unit by doing so." My concern here, Jill who replied to my question shows her title is, Office Manager. No offence to Jill, but I would rather have heard from someone in engineering or product development in place of an Office Manager.So, I am sorry to say I haven't really tested this unit in my microwave. At minimum I worry about damaging the pressure cooker and worse could the unit hurt me or my family using it in my higher power microwave. At this point I'm not comfortable being their test person.The unit seems to be well constructed and it might work perfectly fine. I need something more than the word of an office manager from this company before I'll use it.

I only wanted this Microwave Pressure Cooker for quickly cooking legumes as I would in my electric pressure cooker. Even if I've soaked the beans for a good 12-14 hours first this micro cooker does NOT get the beans cooked all the way. Very Disappointed!

I’ve used my Breville Smart Touch microwave for over 4 years and have become good at cooking, reheated, and thawing just about anything in it.With the addition of this pressure cooker, I plan to expand my cooking expertise to a new level. Within 20 minutes of opening the box, I washed the pot and cooked 3 lbs of purple sweet potatoes which I will use in later meals. They came out perfect. I am sure that this pressure cooker and I are going to be best of friends!
