I bought it two years ago and it's a great preasure cooker.You can't beat the price ! It looks like the same one they had for a value of the day a couple of weeks ago. I bought the silicone inserts the the blue jean chef came out with for making cheesecake steaming ect and it fits perfect.

@Lacey1

Not a PC cook but always good to know in case anyone does.

Thanks for sharing.

My area first Aldi's will not open until the end of the year. My CE 5 quart PC died last week. I'm short on cash and this would be great. I will not purchase any more CE products. I had 3 CE PC . Looked all over the Internet for repair shops or replacement parts and none available so each one ended up in the trash. Really excited and looking forward to shopping Aldi's.

Southern Bee, I too did not have good luck with CE pressure cookers but I have had great success with Aldi appliances. They all worked well and more then withstood the test of time.

Glad to hear you will be getting an Aldi's soon, I hope you enjoy shopping there as much as I do!

Do you know what the psi is on it? I found this info. online Two pressure settings: 9 and 13 PSI. I also found 5 psi low & 10 psi high. I figure for the price it's 5 & 10 psi. The lower the psi the longer it will take for it to cook. Most recipes are for the standard 15 psi.

They will probably have the PC again next year. They get certain things through the year & have to wait until the next year to get it again. Some items they get in for a while & don't get it back in. I loved their Priano Gelato but they quit stocking it. They now stock a Belmont brand that I don't care for. You can view their ads online so you know what's available each week. Some stuff they don't put in their ad.

This is the in store ad for September 30 for my neck of the woods:

http://weeklyads.aldi.us/Aldi/BrowseByPage/Index/?StoreID=2624284&PromotionCode=Aldi-150930HBc&PromotionViewMode=1

For the money, it looks like a great pressure cooker . . .

I never have trouble with Cook's Essentials pressure cookers. Had one for 10 yrs. quality is better , they were heavier back then. Used the stuffing out of the oval 4 qt one for 2 yrs then it died on me, waiting for them to bring them back. The materials now are a lot lighter.

Great deal give 'em that ! Hope Q wakes up. My 6 qt I've had forever from Cook's E. is getting to where the pressure red button won't go down , so, I guess that means it's about ready to give up the ghost. I've got back ups LOL but waiting on the ovals just like ovals better like for chicken and dumplings, ribs, etc.

Southern Bee, maybe you can go online and find the closest Aldi to you. Maybe you know someone in that area who would pick one up for you. I hope you can get one. Every Aldi appliance I have ever purchased has been great!

Queen, I looked for the silicone insets you were mentioning. Do you know the item number, or if her wares are sold somewhere else. I plan on buying the Aldi pressure cookier.

Q has a set of inserts K42922 Cook's Essentials 4 pc. Silicone Pressure Cooker Inserts for $19.98 + $5 S&H. Not sure is these are the same as the Blue Jean Chef was using as Queen mentioned.
