Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I ordered the 4-quart version before the 8-quart version, which I really wanted, became available, so I thought I would do a compare and contrast review. In a nutshell, literally the only difference is the size. Both versions have the exact same functionality, and heat up in pretty much the same time. See the attached pictures. The 4-quart fits three large potatoes whereas the 8-quart fits 8 potatoes. Its increased diameter allows to fit more potatoes per layer. I'm taking the 4-quart to work for lunches, and using the 8-quart for cooking for my family of four. First, the main bad thing about this cooker is the bobber valve is really difficult to see if it is under pressure or not. See the attached pictures compared to my pressure canner. Also, no cute jingles when closing the lid like a certain other brand, but that's no big deal. The best thing about this cooker is its versatility. I have made baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, rice, pasta, a pot roast, and pork ribs so far. All have turned out excellent, in a good amount of time even when I'm tired after work. I like how the pressure options are all on one side and the non-pressure options on the other. The non-pressure options aren't as quick as using a regular pan, but it isn't terrible either, and can save from dirtying extra dishes. In summary, this is a versatile appliance that I use most every day. I highly recommend it.
