1 out of 5 stars   Be Careful!

Review submitted for Cuisinart CPC-600 Electric Pressure Cooker (CUICPC600)
Pros: When it works, it's great. Food prepared in the pressure cooker is awesome.
Cons: The unit will not operate when trying a two step recipe such as beef stew where you cook one set of ingredients, then stop the unit to add the remaining ingredients, and then cook again. When you try, the unit errors and resets to keep warm and no matter what you do, you cannot get the unit to operate again unless you shut it completely off for an extended period of time. This also happens when a recipe calls for browning meats prior to cooking. Apparently there is a sensor that shuts the unit off when it is too hot and won't reset.
Other Comments: The biggest problem is with customer service from Cuisinart. They are unwilling to stand behind this product and insist on you returning the product at your expense and they will send you another with you paying shipping. After I encountered these problems, I researched this item further and found many others had suffered the same problem. The company stated they were unaware of any issues with this item, so I cut and pasted several negative reviews siting this exact problem, so they now must be aware of these issues. If you happen to buy one, just be aware you can't expect anyone from Cuisinart to be of any help if you have issues.

5 out of 5 stars   Great Cooker!
By Marlo on August 22, 2014
Review submitted for Cuisinart CPC-600 Electric Pressure Cooker (CUICPC600)
Pros:
Cons:
Other Comments: We haven't had it for very long, but are having a blast trying new recipes and looking to make more. Foods come out so tasty and meats are really tender. We have to watch how long we cook veggies as they cook so quickly, they can become mushy, although they still taste great.

2 out of 5 stars   Hope I can get it to work!!!

Review submitted for Cuisinart CPC-600 Electric Pressure Cooker (CUICPC600)
Pros: Time Saving, Variety of Uses, Easy to Operate
Cons: Seems To Have Glitch
Other Comments: I was thrilled when this Pressure Cooker arrived. I read my manual thoroughly, picked a yummy looking recipe and started preparations for that evening's meal. Everything worked as planned until it got up to pressure and instead of counting down the recommended minutes it switched over to the warm setting, never cooking the chili at high pressure. I repeatedly went back through the steps, but never could get it to cook under pressure. On a bright note, the chili ended up cooking without pressure, but took longer of course! I am going to try another recipe this evening and see if I have better results. If not, a call to Cusinart customer service is in my future! I love the size, appearance, and features this model has -- hope I can figure out what went wrong!

4 out of 5 stars   Great Steamer, but slow cook process
By Nick on May 16, 2012
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Cuisinart CPC-600 Electric Pressure Cooker (CUICPC600)
Pros: Easy to Operate, Variety of Uses
Cons: Slow
Other Comments: It's excellent at cooking large quantities of food consistently. My only downfall with this is the length of time it takes to reach proper pressure level. It takes at least 10 minutes for it to reach pressure level then it'll start cooking the food. Also I wish there were more accesseries to come with it such as a taller rack so I can cook multiple foods at once. As far as food quality and taste. This steamer does an excellent job at keeping it all very moist.

Review submitted for Cuisinart CPC-600 Electric Pressure Cooker (CUICPC600)
Pros: Generous size, Easy to Operate, Does a fantastic job, Dishwasher Safe, Easy to clean
Cons: Extremely heavy to lift
Other Comments: I think this product is very heavy. But I am in a wheelchair and cannot lift heavy objects. When I put it on the countertop I cannot see over the top. BUT it does a fantastic job. I've made short ribs and a pot roast w/vegetables and they both came out perfect. Tender and delicious. It's easy to operate and easy to clean. The liner goes in the dishwasher. You only have to clean the inside of the lid and you are done. It's extremely well made. I solved my problem by putting it on a low table.

5 out of 5 stars   CPC-600 Electric Pressure Cooker
By Jennie on January 16, 2012

Review submitted for Cuisinart CPC-600 Electric Pressure Cooker (CUICPC600)
Pros: Variety of Uses, Easy to Operate
Cons:
Other Comments: My mother always used a stove top pressure cooker, telling me that it was a must have when I married. I was afraid of them. My daughter recieved one, and uses it every day. I knew Cuisinart has high ratings, so I gifted myself this for Christmas. All I can say is "WOW". I made potato soup in half an hour, let it simmer while it thickened another 15 minutes. It was delicious. I also put a frozen English cut roast in it...it was done in 60 minutes...put the potatoes and carrots in with it for another half hour, it was so tender you could cut with a fork. So easy to use...Please, if you have been afraid, do not be. This is a super appliance. The delivery was within 3 days or so, I was so surprised when it came that fast!!! So far I have no complaints. When you can eat in 30-90 minutes, and there is little clean up, this beats out the crock pot and the oven hands down.
