If you buy one, decide in advance if you will be cooking for large crowds or
a small family. I have found that my Cuisinart, which can hold 5 qts. of
liquids, will not handle very small quantities. It refuses to build up
pressure. But for large quantities, it's wonderful. As soon as I see a small
pressure cooker with all the same bells and whistles of this larger one at a
decent price, I am going to buy it.

PS Before I became vegan, I made large quantities of beef products. Now that
I'm vegan, the actual physical dimensions of the food being cooked has
diminished.
