When I have cooked with the SS one that I had it handled the heat better without scorching. The aluminum has a lower heat rating(not mentioned anywhere just what I have observed). Also cleaning the residue from cooking from aluminum to SS different. But I am happy with my aluminum pressure cooker. There are a few small adjustments. The difference in price and size was important in getting a new pressure cooker for us. But If you don't have price in mind go with the SS. If price is a consideration/size the aluminum is a very GOOD purchase!! **Q: Will 4 pint jars fit in the cooker?** A: The jars may not fit, per the other answers. However, here are the newest recommendations for water and pressure canning of tomato products: https://nchfp.uga.edu/how/can3_tomato.html **Q: What psi (pounds per sq. inch) does this cook at? Pressure cookers commonly come 15 psi (the fastest) but less-expensive ones often cook at 10 or 5.** A: 14 1/2 to 15 psi. I installed a Presto pressure gauge and measured mine. ~14+ gently rocking. 15 with the rocker spinning moderately. You might also care to know that I checked Presto's replacement part numbers for the vent tube. Apparently all Presto pressure cookers AND pressure canners use the same vent tube. Savings from quantity manufacturing I suppose. THEREFORE, you can purchase the three ring 5-10-15 psi Presto Canner Pressure Regulator and use it for reduced pressure in any pressure cooker. And you can certainly use a pressure cooker for canning small jars. **Q: does the regulator on top of the pressure cooker jiggle once it gets to correct pressure?** A: All of our current pressure cookers(besides our 8 quart stainless steel model), will have a regulator that rocks.

First of all, this is the perfect size pressure cooker, it cooks super-fast, the flavor of your food is on another level. It is easy to clean (very important for me). I have cooked beans, meat, potatoes and several other items in it with excellent results. This 4 quarters size works perfectly for 4 people. Price is affordable and it's last long, I used it for long period of time. I am extremely pleased with this pressure cooker and would definitely recommend it ! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 6-Quart is tiny, 8Qt is just right *by on Reviewed in Canada 3 April 2026* I thought that 6Qt would be big enough, but it turned out to be so tiny! The flat portion of the inside bottom is just 7 inches wide whereas the inside top is 8.5".It is made of stamped aluminum but the aluminum is thick. It is as thick as some of the cast aluminum pieces of cookware that I own. The bottom of the pot looks thicker from the outside, but it is the same stamped aluminum protruding, the same thickness of aluminum at the bottom. It does sit perfectly flat on our ceramic stovetop when new although I am not sure if it will change its shape and spin due to heating.The useful capacity for cooking rice and beans, soups and stews, or meat and chicken roasts of this 6Qt pot is just 3Qt which is not that much, closer to 2.5L so buyer beware. Should this cooker prove itself fully functional in time, I will get myself an 8Qt Presto, this one is really too tiny both in volume and in its bottom area diameter. P.S. I got the 8Qt and it has just right looks, proportions of width to height and size.The aluminum is brushed aluminum both inside and outside and it is so full of aluminum dust that my hands got black at the time of unpacking and assembling it. This must be cleaned not just with water and soap but scrubbed with cream of tartar powder and a damp non-abrasive sponge to get rid of the aluminum residue from the surface or else the food will get stained.The instructions for care and cleaning are excellent, simply top notch, and include advice on how to treat discoloration (blackening) of aluminum due to hard drinking water used during cooking or cooking certain vegetables. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Value and Volume! *by on Reviewed in the United States 13 December 2025* Paid $71.39 for this 8 quart aluminum pressure cooker - and I must say, it was worth it. I have an old 6 quart Mirro and it just didn't have enough room for a larger roast. (I'm now raising 3 grandchildren). I just tried it out and this 8 quart Presto was perfect with plenty of room for an almost 4 pound chuck roast (3.61lb) along with baby carrots, new potatoes, celery and pearl onions. I had about 2 inches of room at the top when all was added. My only complaint - the "rack" is very shallow. Not like the one I have for my Mirro that's about 1/2" tall. This one's maybe half that at best. So after adding the water for steam barely above the top, that didn't leave much room for error (as in running out of water). I had to watch it closely. (You can always tell when the water is gone by the smell - but by that time the inside of the bottom has gone dry and the residue has been baked on ... and it is not fun to clean although it doesn't usually hurt the roast). After about an hour and a half I had the heat down to just barely there with a very slight hiss - so it really holds the pressure well! Even though it was made in China, it would appear that you can still trust Presto for high quality! ## Frequently Bought Together - Presto 01264 6-Quart Aluminum Pressure Cooker, Silver - 09924 Pressure Canner Sealing Ring - & Overpressure Plug for Presto 0128206 0128202 0128203 0128204 0128303 0126306 6 & 8 Quart Pressure Cooker - 2 Pack - Presto 01282 8-Quart Aluminum Pressure Cooker --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/381476049-presto-01264-6-quart-aluminum-pressure-cooker-silver](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/381476049-presto-01264-6-quart-aluminum-pressure-cooker-silver) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-09-13*
