Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Manttra Quick & Easy 6 Quarts Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker
Customer Review: I am a sold on it
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first pressure cooker, and it surpassed the claims on the box. The food taste great, it is three times quicker to make, and clean up is too easy. I am a guy who thinks he can cook; I can't stand my own cooking. Gram slam, pressure cookers are fast, food taste out of this world, and clean up is too easy. I got it on clearance ($24) and was scared stupid it would blow up and scald me. First time out it was quick (20 mins) and perfect. Several other times, hey, still the same. Even my very picky weight conscious daughter is woofing down my chow!!! I hate, hate, hate, lentils; my wife loves lentils. Man, the lentil soup was like candy, I got seconds, and took some for lunch at work. I nuked the soup at work, and I thought my bud who was crewing on a sand which was going to come over the table and snatch my soup. Yeah, the instruction booklet is translated from India. Of course the recipes are from India, sound fantastic, but I don't have the stuff in the recipes. That might be the only minus, maybe. Pressure cookers are great, no matter what brand. I figured out when the steam comes fast, throttle down the stove till it comes out in puffs, twenty minutes later your done. I got mine on clearance for $24 (sorry Amazon), but if your lazy, you got to rediscover the old school way of pressure cooking quick and dirty.Customer Review: Mantra Pressure Cooker
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased a Mantra Pressure Cooker. It worked well after a number of uses. Shortly afterwards, the cooking ability of the Mantra started to diminish. The handle would shake and water would leak out from the handle and the circumference of the cooker. After a few more cooking session, the steam/valve stopped working. I finally trashed it. Not sure if I had a defective one?Customer Review: Nice and well made unit
Summary: 3 Stars
I have used a pressure cooker for over 40 years. I wanted a stainless one and this appeared to be the best choice given the price and reviews. My main complaint is the instruction booklet. If Manttra is going to actively promote their product in the US it looks like an instruction booklet that isn't just a translation would be merited. I've used it three times. Once cooking navy beans from soaked beans I had to go back and cook them a second time. I'm used to a Mirror and it has a top attachment that giggles mightily. this Mcooker just whispers so it will take some getting used to. I still think it's a good cooker and I'll figure it out.Customer Review: Not good stainless steel
Summary: 3 Stars
It is my understanding that how well a magnet sticks to stainless steel indicates its quality. Well, a magnet hardly adheres at all to this pan, so it would seem that it is not very good stainless.
I am undecided as to whether I will keep it or not. Other pans that tested similarly that I've kept soon pitted and discolored and put who-knows-what into my food. Suppose I could place a glass baking dish in it when I use it. Anyway, have not actually used it to tell how it works, only this observation.
Customer Review: OOPS

MY MANTTRA STAINLESS PRESSURE COOKER DOES NOT LOOK LIKE
THESE PICTURES. MINE HAS TWO HANDLES ON THE LID. I HAVE
SOME CONCERNS ABOUT IT....(1) THE BOTTOM OF THE PAN IS NOT
LEVEL, IT IS RAISED IN THE MIDDLE...SO IT DOES NOT SIT FLAT
ON MY STOVE. (2) IT DOES NOT JIGGLE, SO I CAN'T TELL IF I
NEED TO RAISE THE HEAT, OR IF IT IS ABOUT TO BLOW UP. I
HOPE THESE ARE BETTER THAN MINE. BY THE WAY, I LOVE USING
PRESSURE COOKERS - BEEN USING THEM FOR ABOUT 40 YEARS.
