    Pressure cookers are fantastic. Throw in some chopped vegetables and meat and a cup of stock, cook for 15 minutes, instant stew. It's stupidly easy and heaps cheaper than buying pre-made canned soups. Pressure cooker plus crockpot are must haves for the lazy cook.

    • gimli on 06/04/2015 - 19:32

      agree. Makes making soups so easy.

      This plus stick blender = soup in 15 min.

    Mine broke after 3 months (that being said, I partially credit the cause to my sloppy brother, who've lost the receipt as well).
    That being said, when it worked, it worked perfectly.
    It's slightly hard to clean the sides, but other than that, I think I can recommend this.

      You may be able to send it back under warranty if you ask nice. Also some shops can get you a reprint of your receipt based on the date and time from a bank transaction

        I actually ended up getting a Tefal one from my friend for free and I think the 1 year warranty is probably gone by now. :S

    Looks reasonable. Is 6L big enough for a family of four - two folks + 2 kids 6 and under?

    • bhter on 07/04/2015 - 19:52

      6L is more than 4 bottles of 1.25L coke. I think now you can make your decision.

      • quarrymaster on 07/04/2015 - 19:59

        Dunno if that would really help (hard to mentally shove a quarter chicken in each Coke bottle + veg), but seeing Tefal's only one is also 6L, I would guess it's a good size.

  • [Deactivated] on 06/04/2015 - 18:57

    Was $70, not $89. Still a good price

  • Kendrite13 on 06/04/2015 - 19:19

    I love my slow cooker…is this kind of the opposite? Throw the same sort of things in, but this is super quick instead of super slow?

    • gimli on 06/04/2015 - 19:31

      yep thats pretty much right.

      I bought a aldi one 2 years ago to cook things faster but then I discovered to slow cooker mode. So now cooking takes even longer. lol (well not really since i just turn it on and then go away)

      • scrimshaw on 07/04/2015 - 00:42

        Don't things taste better if they are cooked slowly? Say if you want to make soup or curry?

        • iridiumstem on 07/04/2015 - 04:33

          It does have slow cooker function as well.

        • Bobbymg on 07/04/2015 - 06:38

          Yep it's tastes yummy and delicious when you use a slow cooker, plus more nutritious as well. As high heat can kill the nutrients and enzymes.

        • squeeb on 08/04/2015 - 00:31

          Cooking for longer will tenderise the meat so it is perfect for cheaper cuts. The favours are also enhanced by cooking longer.

          @Bobbymg: Another theory is that the the nutrients and enzymes are boiled away in the long cooking times of a slow cooker..

  • c64 on 06/04/2015 - 19:21

    i've got one of these but i've hardly used it.

    so it is good for cooking chopped up vegetables + tomato paste + water? i'm currently using a huge stock pot (12L?) but it always burns on the bottom, so i have to frequently pour the contents between two stock pots. everything goes into jars and then into the freezer.

  • Jackson on 06/04/2015 - 20:42

    Does anyone know what the pot is made from? Is it Teflon aluminium like a rice cooker or ceramic like a slow cooker?

    • sagrules on 07/04/2015 - 12:39

      I'd also like to know this.

      • Jackson on 08/04/2015 - 10:31

        I finally checked the manual and it looks like an aluminium coated with teflon bowl

  • Twisty on 06/04/2015 - 21:43

    I have a slow cooker and use it often, u have no idea what a pressure cooker will do different?

    • scrimshaw on 07/04/2015 - 00:44

      Pressure cooking is the process of cooking food, using water or other cooking liquid, in a sealed vessel, known as a pressure cooker. Pressure cookers are used for cooking food more quickly than conventional cooking methods, which also saves energy.

      Pressure is created initially by boiling a liquid such as water or broth inside the closed pressure cooker. The trapped steam increases the internal pressure and temperature. After use, the pressure is slowly released so that the vessel can be safely opened.

      Pressure cooking can be used for quick simulation of the effects of long braising or simmering.

      Almost any food which can be cooked in steam or water-based liquids can be cooked in a pressure cooker.

  • cisco on 06/04/2015 - 22:32

    How will it effect the electricity usage and electric bill?

    • gimli on 07/04/2015 - 20:16
      +1

      no effect if used for decorational purposes.

      more seriously pressure cookers are about 1000watts

      slow cooker 60w.

    • IMFrugl on 08/04/2015 - 08:58
      +1

      In terms of efficiency, pressure cooking is almost always guaranteed to be more efficient than similar style cooking without pressure (electric or gas).

      Using Jubba's example - 60W for 6 hours uses 360Wh; 1000W for 20 mins (0.333 hours) uses 333Wh. However in reality, it will heat for about 10mins, turn off due to the thermostat and then cook with the heat and pressure, only occasionally turning on again to bring the temp back up.

      The crock pot running for 6 hours will loose a huge amount of heat to the surroundings as most of the crock pots I've seen are badly insulated. The pressure cooker will only loose heat for 20 mins. Based on the laws of thermodynamics … blah blah blah … the pressure cooker wins!

      I picked up one of these cookers from Coles and was somewhat skeptical at first, but it turned out to be a good investment. I was impressed with the cooking. Rice cooking was quick and even, stews tasted very good.

      My other new favourite for efficient cooking is my small one element induction stove top. No radiant heat wasted at all as the 'element' does not heat up.

      • sagrules on 08/04/2015 - 12:53

        How long have you been using the Coles one for? I bought it a while back but havent tried - wondering if its better than this one as I couldnt find any reviews on the coles one on www.productreview.com.au

        This is the review for the one mentioned in the original post
        http://www.productreview.com.au/p/ronson-rpr800.html

        • IMFrugl on 08/04/2015 - 18:28

          We've had it for a few months now, but is located at a different property. It was an impulse buy as Coles was clearing the last one and my wife said it was good to have. I tried finding more info on it when I got home but could only find other brands all of which were 6L and looked suspiciously similar. It looks like a watered down electrical version of the heavy duty Indian ones made for stove tops. However when we used it, I was very impressed (and I'm not easily impressed). The main wear and tear part is the silicone gasket which will seal in the pressure. That is the part that usually fails in standard pressure cookers after 3-4 years. Time will tell. I've not used other cookers, but I guess the principal is the same - 2 modes of cooking -with pressure and with no pressure, and an electronic preset timer for the various cooking times and marketing options(6 in one, 10 in one etc).

        • sagrules on 09/04/2015 - 11:36

          @IMFrugl: Thanks for that information

  • homersyd on 07/04/2015 - 10:35

    Would definitely recommend stovetop over electric. So much better.

    • zambuck on 07/04/2015 - 20:36

      Yeah I have both, though a different brand of electric to this one. I find that if (when) I slightly overfill the electric one, it gets a bit too smarty-pants and detects that the internal pressure hasn't risen enough (due to the lack of space for the steam I guess) and it sort of errors out of the program. The electric one definitely does make the whole pressure cooking experience easier and less concerning compared with the stove top, as you don't need to balance the stove temperature to keep the pressure in the correct range.

    Sigh I just called Burwood, Rhodes, Leichardt and Roselands. No Ronson Pressure cookers left.
    They're part of a 15% across the board sale on electronics which started last week. The product item is being deleted.

    Edit: Four Pressure cookers left at Bankstown.

    Dial 4, ask for Homewares.

  • c64 on 12/04/2015 - 06:51

    i tried cooking some veggies + tomato paste + water last night and it worked out really well. it really doesn't require much cooking time compared to a stock pot which needs to simmer for ages. it is only 6L though so i can't fit as much as i would like to in

    • quarrymaster on 12/04/2015 - 09:11

      Did you follow a recipe, or just made it up?

      • c64 on 12/04/2015 - 12:09

        i don't have a recipe. it's a very chunky tomato sauce i suppose. i just buy a heap of whatever non-starchy vegetables are available.

        i really didn't know what to do for the pressure cooker. i didn't know how much water to put in. i didn't know how long to cook it (30 min did a whole packed 6L pot - maybe less but it is hard to tell since you would need to release all the pressure to check). fortunately everything turned out good.

        it all gets frozen in containers for my meals for the next week or two.

          Haven't opened mine yet, but was thinking of a test run for dinner tonight! A couple(?) of years back I bought a slow cooker (Thanks, OzB!) but found that I'd need plenty of water, or cook something that would stay covered/below the water/liquid otherwise the exposed portions would be more dry.

          As mentioned above, the web download manual includes some recipes.

    For anyone still searching and missed out Target, you can get a similar one delivered from esold for about $49 + $14.20 postage and can probably throw in a few more items for that postage fee.
    Actually, throw in http://www.esold.com.au/double-power-adaptor-with-surge-prot… for $2.99 and your postage drops to $11.02.

    i got a flashing C6 error when i went to cook some veggies today. i've only used the thing a couple of times (but it is out of warranty).

    after some googling i determined that C6 means "faulty pressor sensor". then i got a lead from a comment on amazon about a loose connector producing a C6 error for a different type of electric pressure cooker.

    i gave my cooker a bit of a tap and low and behold the error disappeared temporarily. so i opened up the bottom (it is only one screw), re-seated the connectors on the PCB (the centre movable bit is the pressure sensor) and now it is fixed. the connectors are mounted vertically upside down so it must have wiggled loose.

    so if anyone gets this error in the future and it is out of warranty they will know what to do.
