Customer Reviews for Zavor Z Pot 4 Qt. Stainless Steel Stovetop Pressure Cooker

Great product design and quality perfect for a large family to cook meals in. The bottom of this pan is much like a frying pan so you can use this to sear your food after it's fully cooked giving a nice crispy salty flavor with a tender middle. This is much better then the lesser quality pots that don't allow frying.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Zavor Zpot pressure cooker is fantastic! So easy to use and so quick! It came with a recipe book that has everything from soups, seafood, meat, and desserts! We first made refried beans because we cook them frequently with pintos, but it takes 3 hrs in a dutch oven. This took 20 minutes!! 10 minutes to cook, 10 minutes to rest! Amazing! And the taste? The same! Delicious. How did I not have one of these sooner. It has a locking lid, once they start cooking, about 2 minutes in , the steam started releasing. This will save so much time in the kitchen. Cannot wait to cook more!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to write a review about my new pressure cooker because I am so satisfied with everything about it, especially how high quality it is. Let me be honest here, I was hesitant about getting a pressure cooker in general because I’ve heard horror stories - but I know this will never be the case with my new Zavor Zpot. The pot itself, lid, handle and locking mechanism are super sturdy and easy to understand and use. It not only makes average cooking easier but it also opens up so many new opportunities and they even include a recipe book with over 50 ideas! Risotto, cheesecake, soups and chowders, pasta, even a 3 pound chicken. It’s honestly a game changer. Highly recommend!!!

There is a lot to like about the Z Pot 10 Qt. Pressure Cooker. First, it is just a gorgeous sleek and shiny piece of cookware. However, it also has features I like. My main use for a pressure cooker is for canning vegetables like peppers and green beans. I also can pie fillings and pasta sauces. The first thing I notice about the Z Pot 10 Qt. Pressure Cooker is that it is significantly taller than either my larger or smaller Mirro pressure cookers. It is deep enough to use for boiling water canning for high acid products when pressure canning is not required. It is a good choice for use as a stock pot with easy to grip handles. What I don't like so much is that the Z Pot 10 Qt. Pressure Cooker has only a single permanent pressure setting of 15 pounds. There is no "jiggler" that can be turned for 10,15 or 20 pounds. For most pressure cooking that probably isn't a problem. I am also disappointed that it doesn't come with a canning rack. It is also pricey compared with more common brands. Nonetheless, this is nice piece of cookware I am delighted to have in my kitchen.

This Zavor Duo Pressure Cooker is absolutely AWESOME! It is so Heavy Duty, Excellent Quality and easy to use. It also comes with a vegetable steaming basket. It comes with a recipe book too and I found a nice one for Butternut Squash soup so I decided to try it. It cooked in 15 minutes what would have taken me all afternoon. I LOVE IT! I always wanted to cook with a pressure cooker but was always a little bit afraid. Not any more! Zavor has made sure there are safety features built in. For example, the lid will not come off if there is pressure still inside. The booklets cover everything you need to know including how to take good care of it. I can't believe how amazing it is. I am ecstatic over the amount of time this Pressure Cooker is going to save me over the holidays. I will be able to spend more time with my family & friends. Cleanup was very easy but you can put the bottom in the dishwasher if you want to. I HIGHLY recommend this very well made, versatile pressure cooker.

Sturdy, well designed, unique pressure control doesn't require keeping track of weights, perfect size for retired couple

This pressure pot was exactly what we needed! Very sturdy and a great size for cooking for a family of 4-6. Would recommend this brand to anyone!

Cooks very quickly traps tast in and much less noisy unlike others

Give 5 because it's really great to cook meals in minutes and delicious.

Worked beautifully and looks good.

A quality pressure cooker.

Looks good and works simply. We got it for the 15psi that allows canning up to three quart jars of non-high acid foods. Lower pressure cookers are NOT safe for canning! So far only used it to cook lentil soup as a trial run and it worked exactly as the recipe described. Careful what you believe about stated cook times because those are for the time AT full pressure and do not include time to heat up to pressure and time to cool down and release pressure. Total process can be quite a bit longer than what you might first expect and this is true of ALL pressure cookers. I really like that it has triple pressure protection in a pressure valve, a safety valve, and finally a safety gasket. The pressure release is well controlled but it does blow quite a cloud of scalding steam so be careful where it is pointed. We like the results we got and have a long list of cooking and canning recipes we are looking forward to trying out.

The Product was received on time. The 10 Qt. Pressure cooker is an optimum size to buy for household use. It performed quite excellent first time use. I recommend this product.

It is very good and nice product, also lightweighted

Working good so far. Build quality is really good.

This pressure cooker was a little better than I expected. 10 quarts is big enough to cook for my big family. It works great! Pretty easy to use. Cleaning it was not too hard.

Have used my Zavor pressure cooker for canning as well as steaming vegetables or cooking rice and beans. It has worked great so far. Easy to usePlus it came with a booklet of recipes which have helped a lot since this was my first time using a pressure cooker. Very happy with my purchase.

Good quality, nice features.

product worked perfect no problems at all

Happy with the purchase, the only thing I wish the side walls were a little thicker. I you ever happen to hit it or drop it that's it it's done.
