Does this cooker have a separate pressure valve?

Hi Holly. It has a (round) pressure valve at the top that comes out for cleaning. It has three modes: locked, steaming and open.

There are 3 pressure settings; high, medium, low, ranging from 10.5 psi to 4.5 psi. Cooker comes with an excellent instruction book. Follow easy instructions for perfect results. Rick

No, just how long typical foods take to cook. It's a wonderful pressure cooker; I use it at least once a week. :-)

Separately no but they show recipes with veggies in rice during cooking. Steaming is so simple you could do that in pot with basket. This rice cooker excels at rice but will steam many ways too just not separately.

While I like this unit, it is not a true pressure cooker in spite of the name. It is more of a steam cooker, so any recipes for a steam cooker should work just fine. It also makes a fine rice or shell pasta cooker. By adding flavorings and/or other ingredients you can create your own recipes. Just make sure that the added ingredients will cook safely in about the same time as it takes for the rice or pasta to cook.

I dont know, but i doubt it. This pressure cooker sautes and everything else. Why would anybody need an additional pot besides the one which is removable?

No I don't think so. I am unsure what you mean, but it isn't like a pressure cooker or anything that screws down. The rim is wide enough and has drainage holes in it, these can be rotated to be aligned with the lip and steam escape or rotated and the solid rim covers the area of the lip leaving no gaps. It is a well fitting lid.

Neil, if you are talking about the Water turn off valve, no. That is a separate item.

Yes it is! It is a GREAT pressure cooker. All of the safety features is a big plus!

Unaware that one is available for this product. I think Instapot is the only pressure cooker with a stainless steel insert which is for a 6 qt. and they do offer a separate one for purchase.

I believe it does. We have a pressure cooker and we used it. Both water bath and PC and we got the info from the book.

Sorry, I don't know. The gasket didn't work. I followed the instructions and tried it several times but, it was not right, so eventually I scrapped the pressure cooker. I hope you have better luck than I had.

Sorry, I just know it works with my pressure cooker; I don't have a clue about anything else...

I love my Altho; yes it does have a pressure vent, all italian expresso makers have them, it is a safety valve in case that you forget to add water or leave it on the stove for a long time, the valve, will explode, but the entire pot will not. When they explode they go fast and will break a base or leave you a bruise, but nothing else.

No, the unit comes with both the isolator valves and a pressure release valve that much nicer than the valves Amazon recommends. You will need a 3/4" MNPT (male NPT) connection into the valves.

It is just a regular rice cooker that cook white rice, brown rice, porridge, warming. It is not a pressure cooker.
