2 qt pressure cooker

Cook's Essentials. I can't get that **** lid to lock down had to take my potatoes out of it and put them in the good ol' Ninja.

I'm giving that thing to the Goodwill. All these pressure cookers are so hard to line up.

Make sure the seal is seated properly, then push down while turning. The Instant Pot plays a little tune when it is sealed.

I am stilll using a very old Cooks Essential that I bought years ago from QVC.

Before I use it, everytime I do pass the big plastic ring with some cotton that has olive oil so it is very easy to lock and unlock the lid.

I found this picture of mine at ebay

I had the same problem so I threw the thing in the trash and bought and Instant Pot. It works just great. No problems.

Got instant pot too, just wanted a small one for speeding up the cooking of potatoes for mashed potatoes instead of waiting for them to boil if your in a hurry.

Ninja, has everything built into it, so, I'll just have to clean up the bowl in the 6qt Ninja now. LOL Only gave 20 for it I think on clearance.

I hate to buy stuff and then you have trouble with the lid like that Kitchen aid food processor that lid was a PITA too, after I gave a fortune for it then they come out with a new model that has the lid that just snaps down and up. I don't want to have to wrestle with anything don't have time to pause and work with the thing.
