What is the rated working pressure of this pressure cooker 13 or 15 psi?
1360093
The level 1 is 80kPa(12psi), and the level 2 is 170kPa(25psi).These are written on the bottom of this cooker.

Most standard pressure cookers operating at 15 PSI or 257 degree F ; this is a standard set by USDA since 1917 and most manufactures do not event put in its manual, however some pressure cookers made in Germany work at lower pressures between 11 - 13 PSI.

According to the manual that came with the cooker, it has two settings. Pressure one operates at 7 lbs. (7psi). Pressure two operates at 12 lbs. (12psi).

You can choose between two; the highest is 15 and the lower is 13 I believe.

Max safety pressure limit is 25 psi and upper operating pressure limit is 12 psi ..hope that helps

The Fagor has two preset pressure settings: 1) 8psi 2) 15psi. I use mine to do everything from canning to cooking chili, beans, and even cooking freshly caught Dungeness crab.

All of our current pressure cookers have a 15 pounds weight. The regulator will rock at 15 pounds. Please note that you only want a nice gentle rock, so you will need to adjust your stove to get the regulator rocking slowly. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact our Customer Service Department via phone at 1-800-877-0441 or e-mail us at contact1@gopresto.com. We are open M-F 8-4:15 CT.

I am not sure.... It really isnt a pressure cooker. I tried to cook a piece of meat in it and it was worse than . It was more like a rock.... I use it for veggies and warm ups

150 PSI per the manual and there is a built in pressure switch that opens at 150 psi. I have not installed mine yet, but basing this on the owners manual, hope that helps!

One pound of pressure difference isn't going to affect the temperature in your cooker by enough to do harm. Thirteen, fourteen, or fifteen pounds of pressure will work equally well, so the reading doesn't make a lot of difference in any case.

Pressure cooking allows food to be cooked with greater humidity and higher temperatures than possible with conventional boiling or steaming methods. In an ordinary non-pressurised cooking vessel, the boiling point of water is 100 C (212 F) at standard pressure; the temperature of food is limited by the boiling point of water because excess heat causes boiling water to vaporize into steam. In a sealed pressure cooker, the boiling point of water increases as the pressure rises, resulting in superheated water. At a pressure of 1 bar or ~15 psi (pounds per square inch) above the existing atmospheric pressure, water in a pressure cooker can reach a temperature of up to 121 C (250 F), depending on altitude.

no electric pressure cooks above 11 psi.. they might reach 15 psi in pre heating but all cook the food at about 11 psi... stove tops do reach 15 psi and cook at 15 psi..... so that is how they make the claims that a electric pressure cooks REACHES 15 psi.... but the cooking is lower

it appears from descriptions on German websites that the absolute maximum pressure (where the steam comes out and whistles an alarm) is 16 psi, with a nominal operating pressure of 14.5 psi.

It has two red rings on a center stem. On page 5 of the "Quick Cuisine" book that came with the cooker it states, "When the first red ring appears, the internal pressure has been raised 8 pounds per square inch above the external pressure." The second red ring is 15 pounds.

15 PSI is max in US to get UL safety rating. The Cooks article points out that though other companies say theirs goes to 15, only Fissler achieves actual 15 PSI during use.

Hi Karen,One thing I found out is that other pressure cookers have a PSI of 15 and the Instant Pot is only 11. So I have been adding extra time to most recipes and everything has been turning out alright.

Here is a link for the manual. http://westbend.com/media/catalog/product/doc/L5861_82011_Pressure_Cooker.pdf

The pressure is actually regulated by a weight that sits on top of the vent pipe. The canner comes with a weight for 15 PSI, but Presto has weights for 5 & 10 PSI. You may also manually regulate the pressure by monitoring the gauge and controlling the heat under the pot.

No, it comes with a 15 psi one. I'm considering getting this one, too. It can be tricky to regulate your pressures without one, especially on a glass cooktop stove.
