| Loved it until it conked out after 14 months |
Apr. 29, 2013 |
|
| I loved, loved, loved this combo slow cooker pressure cooker. But 14 months after I got it just stopped working. If I had paid less I would shrug it off. But an appliance that costs nearly $100 should last longer. |

| Great, but the lid is weird.... |
Mar. 21, 2013 |
|
| I received the Nesco 6qt 3-in-1 electric pressure cooker for Christmas. This is my first pressure cooker and I love it! I was afraid of it at first, but, being electric, it is much different than your grandmother's old pressure cooker! I love that you can put frozen chicken breast it it and they're done within 20 minutes. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I seem to have a terrible time getting the lid on! I'm not sure why, but it takes me about 5 minutes to get the lid placed on it properly....otherwise, it's great! |

| Won't turn on after 2 uses |
Jan. 21, 2013 |
|
| I used the pressure cooker only twice and then it wouldn't turn on again. Buyer beware. My product was out of warrenty since it had been over a year so I'd have to pay for it to be fixed. I notice from other reviews that other customers have had the same problem. It would appear that NESCO needs to address this issue if it continues to occur. |

| Nesco Digital Pressure Cooker |
Jan. 9, 2013 |
|
| The whole time I was using this pressure cooker, I was amazed at how easy it was. I am a senior and used a pressure cooker constantly when my family was growing up in the 60's and 70's. I love things like beef stew in the pressure cooker, rather than the crock pot. With this, I can do either/or depending on the recipe. I LOVE this! Maybe you have to have used the old products back in the day to appreciate how awesome it is to just put the ingredients in the pot and not have to adjust the heat when the steam starts. I'm just sorry I didn't buy this years ago !!! |

| I got my 6 liter 3 in 1 cooker as a gift for Christmas. I been wanting a pressure cooker for awhile. I wanted meals like I had as a kid when grandma cooked with hers on the top of the stove. From the first time used it has made some really cheap tough cuts of meat just absolutely amazingly yummy and tender. The timer is nice and with no noise it cooked better than grandmas .... SHHHH you didn't hear that from me! I going to make my BBQ chicken in it tonight! Oh btw anyone making tortilla soup OMG it is absolutely the best when made in this slow cooker!! And ham and white beans can't beat it at all the beans were so tender. The best thing that I loved is the color of my veggies when I made stew they were bright not dullish. OK, OK so you can tell I love it and use it a lot! It was the BEST Christmas gift ever! And my family loves the meals it has made! I love the fact that it is easy to clean! I have been telling everyone about it and recommend it highly! Great product, great service and easy to use! It is defiantly user friendly! |

| Had used stovetop pressure cooker before, thought I'd try this. WOW! Have had it for several years & use it for more than just pres. cooking: soups, rice, pasta, black bean glop (soup or semi-solid depend. on amt. of water), slow cook, etc. And, unlike stovetop, found I can make fantastic chicken, ribs & roasts in my Nesco press. cooker. Its reliable, easy to use, easy to clean &safe. Works beautifully! Recommend it to anyone who wants good, truly fast, delicious food w/o fuss. When the pressure valve needed replacing, my Husband kept pestering me to get a new one so as to ensure ability to pressure cook. (still made fabulous food even w/o being able to pressurize.) GET IT! You'll LOVE IT as I do! BTW: Nesco stands behind its American products! |

|
| I cannot say enough good things about this pressure cooker. It is such a change from the stovetop model I could not believe it. I kept going back and checking to make sure it was still working because it was so quiet. My only problem was remembering to allow about 15 min. for the cooker to reach the correct pressure before it started cooking. Now I do it automatically. I absolutely love this product. I gave my daughter my old one and after she used it a few times and decided she liked the speed of cooking this way she also bought the digital model, and you cannot beat the price. My only regret is that I did not buy it sooner. |

| The Best Pressure Cooker I've ever used!!!! |
Sep. 22, 2012 |
|
| I have used pressure cookers for most of my forty three years of marriage. I always had the stove top type. I bought the 3-in-1 Digital by Nesco a few months ago. It is by far the best one I have ever used. I love the browning control, the slow cooker control, and steaming. Everything I have cooked in it has been great. I love the timer but most of all it is so quite and so very easy to clean. Not only will I buy one for my daughters in laws, but I will tell all my friends about it. THANK YOU NESCO, for the great product. |

| I have been looking for and wanting a pressure cooker for a long time. The Walmart near me had the 6 3/4 quart on clearance for $55.00. I could not pass this up it was such a great price. I made spare ribs last week and tonight I made chicken cachitore(not sure of spelling) and the chicken was frozen solid in less than 30 minutes. That was absolutely amazing to me. They were both so good. I am going to try Rice Pudding this week. Clean up is so easy. I recommend that everyone should have one of these because of the versatility, clean up and ease of use. |

| Mother's Day Gift |
May 14, 2012 |
|
| Received this model for Mother's Day and am so excited! (i asked for one-I'm just glad they picked THIS one.) So easy to use and clean-up was a snap! Glad I took the time to read the manual and performed the "before first use" section. I am looking forward to trying meats, beans, and veggies in this thing. First recipe was a browned, whole chicken. So easy and so tender. We will use this regularly!! |

Does everything, and does it better than the rest. One thing that speaks to the equity of this cooker, is the silicone gasket. Silicone is better in every respect to the standard. rubber gaskets found on other brands' cookers.
Also, the timer function is extremely useful. When you start a pressure cooking session,the timer doesn't start counting down until full pressure is achieved. This lets you. set the time, press 'start', and walk away, not having to wait until it comes to pressure.
Just love this machine. |

Mar. 15, 2012 |
|
| I forgot to add this little detail to my review. Upon 1st time use; allow 30- 45 minutes for the cooker to reach pressure. Do a first use with water only. After the 1st use, the cooker should achieve pressure in about 10 minutes or less. Keep in mind the cooker needs time to achieve proper temp then it can achieve pressure. |

| This is my 1st Nesco pressure cooker but 2nd pressure cooker. This model is easy to use. I reccomend you read the instructions to get aqainted with the appliance. Clean up is easy. I've prepared various items which were all flawless. Design is attractive so it looks nice in any kitchen. I have not had spillage. My guess is if you do, perhaps you've over filled it . I'm very happy & satisfied with my purchase. |

| I was so afraid. |
Jan. 26, 2012 |
|
My memories of a pressure cooker was my best friend's mother using one and we were not allowed in the kitchen when it was on. So I didn't buy one for years because of the fear factor.
I finally decided to get one and after reading many reviews, I decided on the Nesco. It took several days to use it, that fear again, and finally I worked up my courage. It was so easy. I now brown the meat when it's called for, I fast release the pressure and add vegetables when I need to and reset it and I'm becoming a pro. I haven't tried the steaming or slow cooking yet, but I will. I now have the confidence. The meat comes out tender and delicious, the rice is tender and the chicken is flavorful. I have looked at other pressure cookers to see if they get up to the 15psi that is considered the best and they don't. This has so many features, there's no need to buy any other appliance. Thank you Nesco for making such a wonderful product. I bought two pressure cooker cook books by Bob Warden and the recipes work wonderful with this cooker.
PS Now my daughter wants one. |

| My first Nesco Product |
Jan. 7, 2012 |
|
| As a kid I remember my Grandma using a Nesco Roaster Oven. I remembered the name and needed a new Pressure Cooker. Thought I would try the Nesco Brand. Only used it once so far. Didn't cook it long enough so I had to restart it. No problem and in 15 minutes it was so tender. Going to use it tonight and think I will be giving it one more star. Liked that it has a 15# pound pressure valve. I think the instructions could be written better and the buttons more firm. It is so quiet I didn't think it was building up pressure. So I reprogramed it and messed up on the settings and it shut off. Then I saw the red flashing light on the setting and pushed the start button and saw the light on and not flashing. Then it clicked in my head how to set it and everything worked great except I didn't set the timer long enough. Also my meat was still a little frozen yet when I put it in. I have used a pressure cooker for 46 years and even got my daughters using them. |

Jan. 3, 2012 |

I was very excited when got this pressure cooker for Christmas, but the first time I tried it, it did nothing but vent steam - it never built pressure. I turned it off and it wouldn't turn on again.
I called customer service and they would not send a replacement until I returned the non working original, and insisting that I pay out of my own pocket to do so.
I am extremely disappointed and I intend to share my experience. |

I've a family of 6 to feed and on Tuesdays sometimes I have to feed the kids fast and hand them off to my wife at her office while I head off to class. McDonalds gets old real fast!
She (wanting more healthy meals) bought this for me for Christmas, I've used it twice with great results!
I used recipies from "Cooking Under Pressure" Jambalaya and Curry Chicken - WOW! the kids ate lots and the cooking time - from cutting the veggies to table was less than 30 minutes both times!
Tonights Curry Chicken was done in a rush - I got home late and rushed through the recipie. I didn't have time to thaw the chicken, so I dumped 3 lbs of frozen chicken thighs into the thing right from the freezer and Prayed.
Our guests couldn't believe it was my first time making the dish it tasted so good! |

| Great Cooker But..... |
Dec. 17, 2011 |
|
| I have only used this pressure like 4 times with today being the 4th. 2 times before while cooking the meat broth would seep out of this unit some way some how. I made sure the lid was secure and the gasket is still as new since I have only used it less than a hand full of times. Well today I decided to make beef stew. I put everything in and set the times and sat for a few minutes at the kitchen table just chatting with my husband. I saw the steam coming out therefore, it was already building the pressure. Then the steam stopped and I new it was where it needed to be and was cooking. About 5 minutes late, I heard a loud pop which scared me almost into a heart attack! When I look at the pressure cooker, the broth was oozing out from everywhere! The condensor was full and it was all over the place. I just don't understand how this could happen. I was so scard! I transferred all of the food into a 6 quart pot and am now trying to finish my cooking that way! I just don't get it! Thank goodness I was not standing right next to it! I am giving it four stars because in all fairness it cook really fast but I don't know why the lid popped like that when it build all the pressure it needed to. |

| Nesco Electric Pressure Cooker |
Dec. 13, 2011 |
|
| I used a regular pressure cooker for years and decided to get an electric one. The first one I ordered didn't have a browning feature so I returned it and got the Nesco instead and I love it. It is so quiet and does a fantastic job. My only wish is that it had a stainless steel insert and that the glass lid was included with it. |

| I have used this product almost daily for a month. It is a fantastic product. Some time I used it twice a day. I purchased it directly from Nesco. I chose this brand because it goes to 15lb pressure which I often need due to the altitude at which we live. I would buy agian without hesitation. Roasts, soups, stews, pork chops, chicken, vegetables, have all turned out great. Easy to use, easy to clean! I hope Nesco will make a larger size in the future for those big family gatherings. |

| After 3 day of researching I choose Nesco 3 in 1 |
Nov. 12, 2011 |
|
This machine is a "Kept Secret." I researched Electric Pressure Cookers. Many on the Market, therefore I took 3 days researching what to look for: product description, specifications, calling the different company customer service. I insist on good customer service and replacements to available.
When I called Nesco, no long recorded questions to listen and punch thru.. just one and then a "live voice", pleasant, personable.. Answered my questions without a pause. They have a 1 year warranty and do have replacement parts, . I was interested in the PSI levels. The answer is immediate, she knew! High is 15 (the best) and low is 5. Good.
Some of the most expensive models offered by other companies have a high psi of only 10.. You need the 15 psi for the high. This machine has it.
This machine does have a Stainless Steel body.. Important!.
OK, I CHOOSE THIS NESCO. Wonderful! Easy to use...
Follow the directions! [I have to read directions 3 times to fully digest !] Follow the step by step directions! I had always used the top of the stove models was always very careful.. So was not sure how electric would be to use.
This is so easy. No noise, heats faster than the stove tops ( I have 2 stove top models). No noise. Absolutely easy.
Timers work well.
Browning element is wonderful
nice to use only one pot to brown and cook..
First thing I cooked ... I purchased a cheap pork butt, followed a recipe for Mexican Pork .. Absolutely moist and fork tender! Then purchased the "Pork for Carnitas" and made BBQ Pulled Pork. Excellent! Tender flavorful, moist.
The customer service ladies for Nesco said yes, we can "bake" etc in the machine but the company does not sell such accessories; but can be purchased anywhere. (It does come with a nice wire trivet, a rice spoon, and a cup).
The inner pot is nice and sturdy. Ease of clean up. I was surprised because of the time consuming, cleanup with the heavy stove top models. This inner pot is sturdy, non stick surface.. Be sure and follow directions for cleaning the lid..
I learned from the Customer Service Ladies that this Model is the newest model..
In addition this machine is a "pretty little thing!" as it sits on the counter. I am so pleased with this machine.

| I've had mine now for a few years and am extremely happy with it. I've made pork roasts, beef roasts,New England Style boiled dinners and even Hawaiian pork just to name a few meals. The only complaint I have is that the pressure regulator valve isn't very strong. I've had to replace mine twice already. |

I really liked this product at the beginning but after a little over a year the pressure valve on top crumbled from the inside and fell off. I now no longer have a pressure cooker I paid over $100 for. It will still work as a steamer and a slow cooker. I am very un happy. Nesco Response: Dear Steve,
Replacement parts are availble for your pressure cooker through our Customer Service Department. Please call 1-800-288-4545 and we'll be happy to help.

This new gadget is unbelieveable. Get rid of all those slow cookers/rice cookers. This Thing does it all. You can Brown your meat/ slow cook/ delay start and steam.
I made split pea soup in 25 mins. 10 mintues on "high" 15 mintues natural release. Beef Burgandy in 20 mintues from (neck meat) stew beef that melted on the fork. Fresh Pasta sauce in 8 mintues.
Clean-up is so fast (wipe and dry) that you can do multiple cookings.
I have been so impressed ordered (2) for gifts. Hard to not brag until they are given. Buy this Pressure Cooker. |

| I Love this 3 in 1 Pressure Cooker!! |
Oct. 6, 2011 |
|
| My sister has been telling me about hers for over a year and I finally decided to try it. It makes cooking normally baked meals in minutes and retains flavor while tenderizing. My first meal was pork spare ribs, sauerkraut, potatoes and peas. Done in 20 minutes, flavorful tender ribs, still crisp kraut, perfectly cooked potatoes that whipped up in a second and just right peas. Cleanup was a breeze!! |
