BELLA (14595) 8 Quart Multifunction Pressure Cooker with Digital Presets & Nonstick Cooking Pot

This pressure cooker is used in my kitchen a few times a week. I’ve used it for potlucks and to serve 75 5th graders hotdogs on our spring fling party. It would be great camping with electric access. It’s used to make my dog nutritious food in addition to all the amazing human food it can make. I can’t imagine not having it. I’ve had mine for about 8 years.

Love the price, Loved the Easy To Operate for beginners panel of buttons, Loved the Non stick inner pot. I even loved the way it is shaped and that it wasn't really heavy at all. I could not believe how great my recipes turned out. I thought my recipes were as good as they could get (in a good way) but I was so wrong. I made my spaghetti recipe in this Bella and could not believe the difference a pressure cooker could make! Plus I only had to dirty one pressure cooker pot instead of using more pots. I even browned the meat in it on the Saute mode first.If your thinking of getting one they are awesome.i was always afraid to use the old non-electric pressure cookers but not the new ones. It comes with so many safety precautions and even locks the lid when its under pressure. I still can't believe how fast it cooks some things. It blows my mind how fast it can cook things like roast or beans. It cooks everything fast though but it even has a slow cook like a crock pot. Who wants to cook slow when you can cook the same thing in a shorter amount of time? You will love it so much! I sure love my Bella! 💞👍🍽⏳🔌

My wife wanted a pressure cooker so I did some research before buying. She wanted the Instant Pot brand which is clearly the most popular but it wasn't available at the time. I looked at a Cuisinart next but it was also not available. This was my third choice as I was concerned about quality with a device that has hot steam under pressure. After reading other reviews I decided to purchase this brand. I had purchased Bella blenders previously which were well made. This pressure cooker seems to be of good quality. All of the parts fit together well and the instructions were clear and easy to use. My wife used it to cook dinner recently and it worked well and quickly. Though it's probably not as nice as the Instant Pot brand it doesn't cost nearly as much either. The controls are easy to use and the cooker wasn't difficult to figure out. I would recommend this item.

This is the 2nd Bella pressure cooker that I've owned. Clearly I like it if I've ordered a 2nd one, however, I think this particular one is a bit of a lemon. I'm not sure what the problem is with this one, but the coating in the liner is already coming off, food is sticking to it, and more often than not, I have to un-plug it to basically re-set it when using the pressure cook mode. It gets going, but doesn't build pressure. I always use wooden spoons, or rubber spatula type of things, so the coating should not be coming off.I would not let this hinder you from ordering a Bella. It does all the same stuff that an Instapot does, for like $30 or $40 cheaper.I will be contacting Amazon to see if I can a replacement for this one. Either way, I still love me Bella.

I bought a lot of accessories for this thing, I bought the lid, an additional steel inner lid, some new seal rings and some inside containers. I love this thing. I use it a lot to make rice which it does perfectly. 3 cups of water and 3 cups of rice at 5 minutes. The seal rings I bought extra seemed more full than the one that came standard, so I am glad I got them. I have cooked many varying meats, stews and soups and have not been unsatisfied. I do wish that I could have a lower setting and could manually control that...but heck, I bought this when they were pretty much giving them away. I think I paid less than 30. Great deal. You can get a third party steel inner lid on Amazon for about 25 bucks. This is a great option. Overall, I am completely and utterly satisfied.

I bought this in 2017. For over three years this instapot has impressed me greatly. We have beat it up by dropping it multiple times, and it still works. I want a new one so I can put this one in my camper and was so happy to see that it's still available! Order placed on Bella Pressure Cooker number 2. I read some funky reviews just now and just wanted to share that I have had zero issues with this model and have no interest in switching brands unless I have no choice.

For the price i bought, this is a great deal ($40). Used it to make brown rice and also black garbanzo beans.Very easy to use. Instructions were clear. Easy to clean. Worked well. Held pressure well and release of steam was drama free as well. Saw one review talking about how difficult to remove gasket. Gasket design is similar to other stovetop pressure cookers. May be the material they used has higher hardness. This will be better to keep the gasket compression same for longer time.Other electric pressure cookers advise you not to lock it when not operating to preserve the gasket functionality. Gasket removal is easy enough unless you are 2 years old. Pressure gasket is loose as in most cookers. But that's how they are designed and nothing to worry in my opinion. Locking lid tightened well and no steam escaped through there. Used it to make

Gave this as a gift to my sister and she absolutely loves it! She uses it all the time, and not only can she cook meat until it is fall-off-the-bone tender, but she can then make stews and other things right in the same pot. I would ask her to do the write-up, but I'm afraid she would drone on for hours about how wonderful this device is. So if you have the old school pressure cooker (like she had), you owe it to yourself to get this pot. ...or, it you want to make points with a loved one, get them this device 'just because' and you are guaranteed to make points! Saw this pot featured on a 'Disjointed' episode, and it cracked me up on what it represents. Must see season 2 episode.
