CHARACTERISTICS
The PRESTO pressure cooker enables cooking at low or high pressure*, which contributes to preserving the
natural taste and nutritional value of meals.
Cooking with the PRESTO pressure cooker is significantly faster than standard cooking.

resistant plastics that do not burn if used properly.
