 Packed up after very limited use November 17, 2008
Had one of these for about four years, mostly used for Xmas pudding steaming and cooking.
Poor seal, difficult to bring to/maintain pressure.
Died on me while cooking the first of this years batch.

I like the pressure cooker very much and have found it works very well. However, I think that in the description it should be stated that it is not to be used on ceramic, halogen, or induction hobs. See page 7 of the instruction booklet. Thankfully I have a separate cooker that I can use.
 Decent cooker, but build quality is suspect. October 21, 2008

I brought the high dome cooker after much deliberation. I use to have a 15 yr prestige cooker, which served me well, very well for that fact. Anyway, opened this up put it together and cooked a feast of potatoes, carrots etc. Was amazed with results, so was happy so far, the following week I did the usuall and to my amazement the automatic air vent broke. I rang Salton and they argued that the automatic air vent is not under guarantee. Anyway, rang again the next day after consulting the head office they said as it is under 1 yr all parts are guaranteed. Anyway, I rang them again and this time the assistance asked no questions and sent me a replacement. It seems some of the workers are telling porkies.
Apart from the above incident, the cooker is good. It's only a month or so in, but if anything else happens, I'll be sure to update this review.
Good cooker but not convinced about quality October 9, 2008

I have used pressure cookers for several years but last night after only the second use whilst opening the pressure cooker the bolt holding the handle in place snapped in half. I was only steaming vegetables, and all pressure had been released but what I can only think must have been the intense heat snapped the bolt. Unfortunately this is only the second time I have used this pressure cooker and the 30 day return policy has lapsed but the one meal I did manage to make in the cooker was lovely.

After 53 years of using a high dome I have had to buy this Tower pressure cooker. I know how old my cooker was as it is the same age as my son. We lived in a village and there were no baby foods in tin or jars then. Once a week powdered milk and orange juice could be picked up at a small clinic. I was aware of the adverts for pressure cooking and - hey ho - off I went on a learning curve which was to expand into teaching food studies! I see this pressure cooker has a 10 year guarantee, I may pass it on to the grandchildren. Bea Jones.
