Is there any definite info with pot stating what PSI this cooks at?

I don't remember any numbers in the scant directions. I called the company, and got a very pleasant lady who thought the numbers were 7 and 13.

According to the information I've heard/seen low pressure is 7 psi and high pressure is 13 psi.

Dont know the psi but Pressures 1 and 2 have worked with any recipe from any source so I assume the PSI is standard

There are some very generic instructions, but as far a anything specific, it is pretty weak.

The majority of recipes call for 15psi for the stove top. Cooking eggs to make hard boiled is best done at 8psi (lower setting). I think the maximum pressure for electric pressure cookers is about 12psi, so many of the traditional recipes for pressure cookers need to be adjusted up a few more minutes of cooking. Most recipes will help you on these cooking pressures and times.

This is all I could find... hope it helps...higher altitude more time and liquid.. gg By:sailorgirl Location: sailing the upper Great Lakes Gear Style: Comfort Driven Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer PRACTICE BEFORE PACKING November 6, 2011 GSI pressure cookers seem to cook slightly slower than standard home use units. One document I read said they max. out at about 12.5 psi where houshold ones work at 15 psi. I've found that cook times for standard presure cooker recipies must be extended by a few minutes. It would be handy if the max. psi were given on the instructions or in the product description above. Also, don't be too conservative with liquids, especially where cook times get up to 20 min. or more (i.e. breads), as these lose a fair bit of steam out the pressure valve - not a failure, just a "design feature". Where a recipe calls for 1 C. liquid, go with 1.25 C., if 3 C. go with 4 C. Still, they're light weight and a good size for 1 person up to maybe 4. I use mine on a boat and it lets me eat well on long trips.

Hi Pat, I placed water in the pot and used a meat thermometer and checked the temperatures of this unit. I only recorded the one at #3 and it was 180F. I have found this does seem to cook on the Low setting closely. I have been very happy with the unit. I hope this one temperature is a help for you.

Not really sure but the inside pot is of hefty weight and the inside has a nonstick coating more like my hard anodized cookware. It is well made. It works like a dream...pretty much fool proof. It is nearly silent. No hissing or sputtering just a little click when it seals. Cooked veggies in 4 minutes still had texture and color just the way I like them. This is my second electric pressure cooker. The first one another highly rated brand that costs twice as much...was noisy and sputtered with a longer time to seal. I love this one. I bought a second one for my sister.

According to the manual that came with the cooker, it has two settings. Pressure one operates at 7 lbs. (7psi). Pressure two operates at 12 lbs. (12psi).

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.

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

Once it locks in (and with a cover over the pot) it reads what ever temp you set. So I would say that it is probably +/- .5 degrees. I use this unit frequently and the food comes out great. My only complaint is that the up down controls are flaky and sometimes you have to try a couple of times when changing temps - but for the price you really can't expect perfection.

I operated it at 90 psi and had no problems..not sure what manual reads do not have time to look it up

What PSI are you running it at? It should be anywhere between 80 and 90 PSI. Or your tip might be clogged with something.

PSI means pounds (of pressure) per square inch, I believe. So the higher the number, the greater the pressure the cooker can withstand. Yes, it can cook at 2 different pressure levels. You will see a red line appear on the pressure gauge as the cooker heats up. Some foods must be cooked on the first red line, such as rice. Other foods need to be cooked at the second red line, such as beans. The Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker has an excellent book that comes with it which explains these things. I have not been disappointed in my Kuhn Rikon. It is quite sturdy and saves me time in the kitchen. I really don't know what I did without it. Hope this answers your question.

This pressure cooker has 2 cooking settings. One at 7 psi and the other at 13 psi. It also has a steam release setting and a remove setting.

The wattage should be listed in the book sent with pot.My crock does reach a boil on high.

In the book its around 60 to 70 psi. Just have to take it a little slower when cutting thicker metal.

I no longer have the unit, giving it away as a gift, but Campbell Hausfeld's website indicates a max PSI of 150.

Most standard pressure cookers operating at 15 PSI or 257 degree F ; this is a standard set by USDA since 1917 and most manufactures do not event put in its manual, however some pressure cookers made in Germany work at lower pressures between 11 - 13 PSI.

There is not a clear indication of what PSI you are letting through. Note that this goes up to 30psi which is FAR more than the average grill and can be dangerous to use for non-recommended situations. High gas flow? YesGranular control? Sort of via black the regulator control dial on to inlet fixture.Can you hook it up to a standard gas grill? Yes (Should you? NO!)
