PN Poongnyun Hi Clad IH Hive Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker — 3.5 L
STAINLESS STEELSILICONEALUMINUM
Why we recommend it: A stainless-steel cooking surface and replaceable silicone gasket make this a practical alternative to a nonstick pressure cooker. Its aluminum core spreads heat through the base and sides, while steel separates that core from your food. The compact 3.5-liter size suits smaller batches of rice and works on induction as well as gas or electric cooktops.

Pressure cookers
Pressure cookers and inserts that keep food against stainless steel or PFAS-free ceramic-coated steel.
The pot, underside of the lid and seals need to stand up to hot food and liquid without plastic touching either. Silicone sealing rings are allowed, as are exterior plastic parts that only release steam. We favor replaceable seals and clearly stated compatibility so the cooker can be maintained as directed.
