My mum has always used pressure cookers but hers has broken. We bought her a replacement but it required you to carry the (full) cooker to the sink and run it under cold water in order to release the pressure. This is not suitable for a lady in her 70s and was duly returned for a refund. Her old one had a knob with which to release the pressure quickly (in some recipes) or you could just let it come down on its own.

Personally I'm not keen on pressure cookers - I remember an incident when I was small where the contents ended up all over the ceiling - but it does cook a nice stew; the meat stays succulent.

So does anyone have any advice on buying mum a new pressure cooker?

I've always used Prestige pressure cookers, and yes years ago they weren't as 'safe' as they are now. I've never had to bring the pressure down quickly though
