My mother and her mother before her had stainless steel pressure cookers made by Presto. Does Presto still make them and, if so, in what sizes and how much do they cost?

Presto is still making stainless steel pressure cookers. They are available in stores or online. Prices vary by size. Online a 4 quart stainless steel pessure cooker sells for $43.09, a 6 quart for 48.87 or an 8 quart for $58.99. These are all stovetop pressure cookers. Presto also sells a 6 quart electric stainless steel pressure cooker for $70.34 online. Local prices may be higher.

What safety concerns must be kept in mind when using pressure cookers?
Older or damaged pressure cookers could explode during cooking, but that is not as much of a concern for new models. Check to make sure the gasket is in good shape and there are no cracks or leaks. Make sure the pressure has gone down to a safe level before opening, face the lid away from you to avoid steam, and use pot holders.

What is the pressure cooker also called?
A pressure cooker is a cooking vessel that is enclosed with a lid that seals to the pan with a rubber gasket, which cooks at a pressure that is higher than the atmospheric pressure. These cookers are usually made of thick-wall stainless steel or thick aluminum. In the lid is a small vent-hole that contains a pressure-regulating mechanism. Water in the food being cooked will boil and cause a steam build-up in the vessel, which will increase the pressure inside the vessel. The pressure-regulating mechanism on the vent-hole will allow some steam out if pressure exceeds a certain limit (usually around 15 psi, or 15 pounds per square inch), thus maintaining a more or less constant pressure inside the pressure cooker that is higher than atmospheric pressure. Since the boiling point increases with higher pressure (for example, water boils at 100 degrees C at atmospheric pressure but it will boil at a higher temperature inside a pressure cooker since the pressure inside is higher), the temperature inside a pressure cooker can rise more than it would have in an open-enclosure pan. Because of the higher temperature, meat becomes soft easily and food cooks faster causing less loss of nutrients. Pressure cookers often have various safety mechanisms to prevent the buildup of excessive pressure and exploding. After cooking is finished, it is important to release the steam slowly first, because if the lid is opened suddenly, a large amount of steam escaping can cause scalding. Many pressure cookers have special mechanisms for controlled steam release before opening the lid.

Give the reasons you are interested in working for Hawkins Cookers spefically. Do some research about the company before the interview if you don't have an answer to this question, so you can prepare an answer in case the question is asked.
Do stainless steel utensils rust Why?
All stainless is not created equal. For surgical-quality stainless least likely to rust, get 18/10 stainlees steel. A lower number before the 10 is lower quality .
Did Winchester make a pre-1964 model 70 in stainless?
No the model 70 Winchester made before 1964 was never made in stainless steel.
How do you get to skytown in dizzywood?
You get there from the cannon in PRESTO'S EDGE But first the cannon must be charged with the Zap power. You can do this if you have the zap power or you can ask someone else to zap it before you go in. If it is charged, you will go to Skytown after stepping inside the cannon. If not, you will land back down in Presto's Grove.
How did people prevent staining or rusting of knives before the invention of stainless steel?
Oil.
Are stainless steel appliances necessary when remodeling a kitchen before selling a house?
Of course not, why would they be. Many people don't like stainless because its hard to keep clean. Personally I like stainless because I'm a chef and it feels like home.
Can you soldier onto stainless steel?
yes you can, so long as you clean the metal before hand like in usual soldering
Who invented Pressure Cooker?
