How many psi does this pressure cooker achieve on the high setting?
616694
15 PSI is max in US to get UL safety rating. The Cooks article points out that though other companies say theirs goes to 15, only Fissler achieves actual 15 PSI during use.

Yes it does cook at two different pressure settings. 15psi and if I remember correctly 10psi. The book does an excellent job of explaining settings and has good recipes. I love this Kuhn Rikon and recommend it without hesitation.

The customer service rep for Nesco said the low setting is 5 psi, the high is 10 psi; they have no electric models higher than 10 psi

The pressure is regulated at 15 psi and is done so by means of the "pressure regulator". The pressure regulator sits on top of the lid (or more precisely sits on the vent pipe) during cooking and 15 psi is achieved when the pressure regulator starts "jiggling. The jiggling also maintains the 15 psi throughout the cooking time. Unless the vent pipe becomes stopped up the pressure can not rise above 15 psi.

Have not measured the pressure but I can assure you that it will soften any food cooked in it. Some years of use and still working as new.The other day while washing the lid, it fell off my hand and the handle got loose. I called the factory and promptly they sent me a replacement at a very modest cost.Still 100% satisfied with mine.

I've never used it at pressures above perhaps 70 psi. The regulator data says it allows you to know (reads up to 120-psi) the hook-up/bib water pressure, and reduce it to a safe 40-50 psi pressure which is within spec for most RV's. Sorry I can't tell you more; not much data available on-line either. I'm happy with my relatively standard use, if that means anything......

One pound of pressure difference isn't going to affect the temperature in your cooker by enough to do harm. Thirteen, fourteen, or fifteen pounds of pressure will work equally well, so the reading doesn't make a lot of difference in any case.

I have no idea,best to try and find the correct one from the manufacturer of the pressure cooker that you are using,if not even if it fits and doesent blow up I doubt it would be accurate. Good luck

I would love to pressure can in my Instant Pot, but after careful consideration I've concluded that it would only be safe if you are at an elevation below 3000 ft above sealevel. At sealevel you pressure can at 10psi. You are supposed to adjust the pressure up 1/2 lb for every 1000 ft elevation above sea level, so with the Instant Pot's psi of 11.6, 3000 ft is about the limit.

Depends on the area of the country. But normally 10 to 11 psi.But read the instructions and following them.

450P can push out 150 psi. It will run for 15 to 20 minutes before it gets too hot.

I don't know....sorry. wish I could b more helpful. I am not happy with the product. I don't know much about pressure cookers but a friend of mine does. She uses her pressure cooker all the time but when she used mine it Andrea mess in my kitchen. I did keep the product as it is a very heavy weight pot to just use as a nice saucepan. ...wish I could have been more helpful....Thx

Sorry Betty. I'm no help, my experience is with an electric stove top; however, in either the Rikon owner's manual or one of the pressure cooker cook books this subject I is covered.

according to my research, the lower PSI on High pressure setting can affect the cooking time slightly. if a recipe shows a time range, obviously the longer time would be selected for the electric PC. i don't understand the one reply that said to "knock off 2/3rds..." when the lower PSI of the electric model would clearly call for slightly more time.

Instant Pot IP-DUO has dual pressure settings: High 10.2 ~ 11.6psi (70 ~ 80kPa); Low 5.8 ~7.2 psi (40 ~ 50kpa)
