I have the PIC, can I buy the pressure cooker alone?

Thought I was ,but I ended up buying the Nu wave as well. I hope you find out because it sure was an expensive pressure cooker that way. Did use the precision as a gift but still. I use my pressure pan alot now as just a nice big pan because I don't pressure cook that much. It works great and I didn't have to go buy another big pan for chili or whatever.

The short answer is yes you can. Here is a link for you to view the owners manual. The information that you are looking for is on page 10. http://fantes.com/manuals/all-american-pressure-cooker-manual.pdf

I think so. All you need is heat to cook with the pressure cooker, just be sure to follow the guide sent with it. Ours is wonderful!!

You can't. I trashed mine. The company discontinued the pressure cooker & they don't supply any parts. Montel ripped us really good!

I just saw one on ebay, http://www.ebay.com/itm/MIU-France-8-quart-stove-top-pressure-cooker-replacement-gasket-/251328319429?pt=Cookware&hash;=item3a8455cfc5.

I have one I can sell you as my husband messed up the lid of mine and I ended up buying another brand pressure cooker (luckily i bought extra gaskets and seals when i bought the cooker in the beginning.) Other than that the montel Williams one is no longer made and neither are the parts or gaskets. I searched for some time tring to find the replacement part for my lid. And was finally told its no longer supported.

I didn't even think about replacement parts when I bought the pressure cooker. I use it quite often. I read the review stating there are no replacement parts. I am very disappointed with that answer.

The pressure cooker is electric. You just plug it in. You will melt it if you put it on the stove

I am sorry but I didn't see a question here. exactly what is the question? Are you asking about parts for the pressure cooker?

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?

I would try e-bay, because the manufacturer phone # does not provide service any more. I tried to buy an extra gasket because I know they eventually wear out, and was told when I called that they no longer supply parts, service, or help of any kind. This was about a year ago. If you are able to return the pressure cooker you might want to do that. If not you could disassemble it to sell the parts on e-bay. I need a gasket :). I hope Montel is hanging his head in shame over this, but most likely he's laughing his way to the bank and doesn't care.

If you use a microwave use it as a bowl in which to microwave veggies or anything else for that matter. I do NOT use it as a pressure cooker. You can cook pasta in it. Just cover the pasta with plenty of water and microwave for about the same time it says on the pasta box.

Mine came with a small book and then as soon as did those recipes I was able to use my regular pressure cooker recipe books and just cut down the amount and time using the enclosed by as a loose guide. I have heard that if you contact the web site for the handy gourmet they have recipes you can get from them, however I have not tried that yet. Also Deni has a 2qt electric pressure cooker out and you can get recipes from them and also you can check qvc as they too have come out with a new 2qt electric pressure cooker with a recipe book there would be a little adjustment, but after a few times it will just become natural to you. Hope this will help you.

You won't. You have to buy the instruction book and cook book separate and pay for it. Send it back now,mine lasted about a month. The lid is heavy and dangerous over hyped on TV.

good luck! cannot be found. tried many sources, no success. I bought this pressure cooker, thinking it would last. Did not. Very expensive. And because I did not buy it from QVC, they would not help me. Sorry.

It has to be purchased sepaately. I bought the strainer in a separate order.

I think it worths the money. The pressure cooker also comes with a platinum pot, not a stainless steel one.
