What it concludes

Stainless steel is preferred over aluminum because aluminum reacts with acidic foods and is less sturdy.
An 8-quart cooker is recommended over a 6-quart cooker because recipes fit easily without overfilling.
A thick, wide disc bottom is necessary for steady heating and even cooking pressure.
Pressure indicators should be easy to see and pressure cookers should prevent excess steam evaporation.
The Fissler Vitavit Cooker 8-liter pressure cooker is the best overall pick at $280.
The Fagor Duo 8-Quart Pressure Cooker is the best buy at $110.
