Prestige has a reputation for producing quality cookware. Their cookware is moderately priced and is ideal for the home chef or for someone who wants to experiment with cooking one-off meals. The Prestige pressure cooker, however, is priced at about $50,000, so many consumers are wondering whether or not this company can deliver on its promise of providing exceptional cookware for less. In order to evaluate the Prestige product, one must define “cheap”, “quality” and “reliability” to some extent.
The Prestige vacuum pressure cooker is available with either the Hood or the body kit. These are Prestige’s two most popular models; the Ultra and theummer. The vacuum cooker’s insured against the failure of the parts, and is made to be the least expensive line in the company’s line up.
The Ultra cooker can make between 2600-3200psi. Considering that the 3000psi is only the quietest of cooks, this is quite a remarkable number. The use of such a pressure is, of course, the Vac Turbo technology that comes standard with the company’s high-end pressure cookers. To match the vacuum cooker and accompany it, you will find the accompanying plated steel bottom pan.Also an extra is the attached Prestige Digital Multimedia Card (D Multimedia Card) and a 9-piece cooker kit.
Prestige has become involved in the design of electric pressure cookers, resulting in the release of the Prestige RV 10. This line of pressure cookers has a safety feature known as the Pressure Sensor. By sensing the high cooking temperature, the system will automatically switch from cooking to a thermal reduction cooking process.
The Prestige RV 10 comes with a programmable thermostat. This feature makes the pressure cooker more reliable because it can be set to a lower cooking temperature to reduce the effect of botcho on the food. The idea behind this is that the lower the cooking temperature, the less time the food will cook, resulting in a more authentic flavor.
We went hands-on with the Prestige RV 10 for three months during a visit to the daytime market. Here is what we found:
The Design
The design of the Prestige RV10 is budget WOW! Not only is it excellently designed and crafted with a superior stainless steel finish, the appliance is pedestal-style. This means that the Prestige’s pressure mechanism is attached to the pot or pan itself, rather than mounted on a separate pedestal.
The construction is also solid and sturdy. Various steel construction is used throughout the appliance. The blade, which is wedge shaped, is secured by a large screw at the back. This ensuring the strength of the blade, and it stays cool during use.
An operating manual teaches you how to operate this toaster oven. You can also view an instructional DVD to help you truly understand how to cook efficiently in this toaster oven.
Akiles Vacuum Food Storage bags are included for practical storage, as well. The bags compress and handy carry the vacuumed food inside them for safe, easy access.
The Price
ThePlantronics PC1010is a bit more expensive than some other brands (liest price on Amazon.com is $ edged out at $ired $ Gorgeous stainless steel wok, $ edged out at $ 128). The prestige design, handsome appearance, and “Made in the USA” label are bonuses for this appliance.
Our Thoughts
It is obvious that the Prestige’s stainless steel construction comes with a quality price tag. However, its build, materials, and special features more than compensate for the higher price. In short, you truly get what you pay for.
Moreover, we have found the controls to be very easy to manipulate. The red plus and minus button controls on this toaster oven are easy to read and response expectations. Moreover, the controls provide such sensitive controls that food is never over cooked and never undercooked.
Perhaps the biggest statement of this toaster oven is the large, easily adjustable, adjustable temperature control knob. This temperature control knob allows you to easily control the temperature of the kettle while cooking. Consequently, you can reduce the time you take to cook your foods in order to have restaurant quality cooking in a matter of minutes.
Overall, the Prestige S-0025-Kettle is a toaster oven with trueengineerTM. In short, it cooks really well. But because it is also a very attractive appliance, it is also a hit with consumers. In short, if the expectations for this appliance aremet, this is one appliance you do not want to pass.
