    Good Points: More durable than aluminium models. Like all pressure cookers, it really speeds up cooking times for soups and stews.

    Bad Points: Cleaning the interior sides can be awkward if food has burnt on - unlike the interior base, which is very smooth, the sides have very fine ridging.

    General comments: I have the Tower Rapide Rapid Chef 6 litre stainless steel model no 4355. Unlike other pressure cookers I've previously owned, this one has not suffered any pitting of the interior surface, nor has there been any distortion of the base (which makes it difficult to use on a solid hob ring). That's probably because this one is stainless steel and not aluminium. Spare rubber gaskets are most cheaply obtained from the manufacturers in my experience. Phone number is 0161 947 3111.

    No Complaints here considering that I have had this Tower Pressure Cooker for 10years and its still going strong. I called tower via the number in the leaflet and was able to order the spinning valve and the rubber seal two years ago for the grand total of £3.75 including postage and packaging! not bad support for a pot that was 8 years old at the time. The safety valve on the top finally went today which is why i'm on the internet looking for spare lids, i'll probably order it from the m ...

    I have now broken the detachable bit that looks as though it has a space intended for a thumb to press down on it, so perhaps I won't be able to use it even if I ever do find out how to overcome the lock.

    I found the Tower Pressure Cooker as easy to use as one can make pressure cookers. Aluminum base looks flat when new, but distorts after normal use, losing thermal contact with electric cookers, o.k. for gas. Energy and flavor-saving. Poor spares support for a fairly expensive utensil.

    I found the Tower Pressure Cooker as easy to use as it'll get for pressure cookers, however spare parts are hard to find via the internet!

    I would like to see alternate langauge instructions. I have bought two within this last 12 months for wedding gifts for my friends in the Czech Republic.

    The Tower Pressure Cooker has a nice trivet and divider but it broke after only 2 months and no wonder, the release button is flimsy plastic. My old cheap brand cooker lasted 20 years but this is rubbish. If they replaced the flimsy plastic with tougher substance it would be a good cooker but I expected it to last several years, not months.

    I am using MODEL 4306, found it very helpfull. Easy to wash and handle. Food cooks in a best manner. In brief, it's a time and energy saver.
