And it's easy to cook healthfully with pressure cookers, since the food retains so much more of its nutrients and flavor. Presto's 8-quart pressure cooker is a multi-purpose pot that can stand in as a conventional soup pot as well as perform the kitchen magic that pressure cookers are famous for. Chicken Cacciatore cooks in 8 minutes! And it's big enough for home canning, too. (The USDA recommends pressure canning as the only safe method for low-acid foods such as vegetables, meats, and poultry.) This durable, polished-aluminum pressure cooker is an economical addition to any well-rounded set of kitchen tools. The heavy-duty lid locks down during cooking; an inner sealing ring keeps the steam in. In addition to a pop-up pressure indicator and a simple steam release mechanism, there is an overpressure plug that will let off steam if it builds up excessively. This pressure cooker is useful for weeknight dinners or for any meal that needs to come together quickly. An accompanying booklet contains more than 65 recipes, ranging from basic soup stocks to stews and pot roast--even desserts like Oatmeal-Apple Crisp! Tenderize lean cuts of beef or pork; or cook chicken, fish, or vegetables faster than you can in a microwave, and without losing moisture. Nonabrasive cleansers are best for cleaning this polished aluminum pressure cooker, though occasional use of a fine metal polish will help the exterior keep its shine. The Presto 8-quart aluminum pressure cooker is fully immersible; in addition, the sealing ring should be removed after each use to allow cleaning of the inside rim of the lid. The vent pipe is simple to keep clean with a small brush or pipe cleaner, and both the air vent/cover lock and the overpressure plug are removable. The pressure cooker measures 11-1/2 inches in diameter (17 inches including handles) and 9 inches tall (including lid). Presto guarantees this pressure cooker with an extended 12-year warranty. A detailed instruction and recipe booklet is included; special safety issues that pertain to pressure cookers are clearly explained. --Garland Withers ## Features - FAST, FLAVORFUL MEALS IN LESS TIME – Pressure cooks foods 3 to 10 times faster than ordinary cooking methods to help prepare tender meats, soups, beans, vegetables, rice, and more while preserving flavors and nutrients. - DURABLE STAINLESS STEEL CONSTRUCTION – Heavy-duty stainless steel pressure cooker provides long-lasting performance with an attractive polished finish and works on gas, electric, smooth-top, and induction ranges. - SIMPLE, EASY-TO-USE PRESSURE COOKING – Automatic pressure regulator maintains the proper cooking pressure for consistent results while the helper handle makes opening and closing the cover easier. - SAFE AND CONFIDENT COOKING – Built-in safety features include a cover lock indicator that shows when pressure is inside the cooker and prevents the cover from opening until pressure is safely reduced. - VERSATILE 6-QUART CAPACITY – Ideal for preparing chicken, fish, meats, vegetables, and one-pot meals for families while doubling as a boiling-water canner for fruits, jams, jellies, pickles, and salsa. - INCLUDES COOKING RACK & RECIPE BOOK – Cooking rack allows multiple foods to cook at once without intermingling flavors and includes a 64-page instruction and recipe book for easy meal inspiration. - TRUSTED PRESTO QUALITY – Engineered by Presto, a trusted name in pressure cooking and kitchen appliances for over 100 years. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00006ISG4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #42,005 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #33 in Pressure Cookers | | Brand Name | Presto | | Capacity | 8 quarts | | Closure Type | Locking Lid | | Color | Silver | | Control Method | Touch | | Controller Type | Hand Control | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (5,046) | | Finish Type | Gray | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00075741012827 | | Included Components | 1 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 11.25"D x 18.87"W x 8.56"H | | Item Type Name | Pressure Cooker | | Item Weight | 5.8 pounds | | Manufacturer | PRESTO | | Material | Aluminum | | Model Number | 307882 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Part Number | 01282 | | Special Features | Electric Stovetop Compatible | | UPC | 763616046779 163120779789 807030499305 666671370813 132017568546 809385669808 168141307997 809186274928 763615714822 725638152364 781147913667 809185818307 633653199748 182682379701 757410128274 803982719140 075741012827 172302702156 021112830194 791769526039 132018254004 806293531166 778890712784 163120593408 854432494988 151903525074 115971028950 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Voltage | 100 volts_of_alternating_current | | Warranty Description | 1 Year Limited | | Wattage | 1000 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Presto - **Capacity:** 8 quarts - **Color:** Silver - **Control Method:** Touch - **Finish Type:** Gray - **Item Weight:** 5.8 pounds - **Material:** Aluminum - **Product Dimensions:** 11.25"D x 18.87"W x 8.56"H - **Special Feature:** Electric Stovetop Compatible - **Wattage:** 1000 watts ## Images ![Presto 01282 8-Quart Aluminum Pressure Cooker - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61j6XVoh0lL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: what is the pressure it cooks at, 2,4,6 8, or?** A: All of our current pressure cookers have a 15 pound weight.

I wonder if that happens because of the aluminum. I used it once for a potato ragu with sirloin beef: yum!! Hadn't cooked that in a couple of years.Where I'm from people love Magnalite aluminum pots. Except for my Presto, I don't use aluminum pots because of acidic foods like spaghetti sauce that could leach out the aluminum. Will probably get the Presto 6 qt stainless pressure cooker next. **Q: Any real difference between the stainless and Aluminum? Other than metal. My mother lived to be 97 years and most of her pans were aluminum.** A: So, I'm totally confused... The product name says "Presto 01282 8-Quart Aluminum Pressure Cooker", but the "From the Manufacturer" says it is 6-quart and Stainless Steel. So what am I buying here? I want an aluminum, 8-Quart pressure cooker - is this it? ## Frequently Bought Together - Presto 01282 8-Quart Aluminum Pressure Cooker - 09924 Pressure Canner Sealing Ring - & Overpressure Plug for Presto 0128206 0128202 0128203 0128204 0128303 0126306 6 & 8 Quart Pressure Cooker - 2 Pack - Presto 01264 6-Quart Aluminum Pressure Cooker, Silver --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/2893865-presto-01282-8-quart-aluminum-pressure-cooker](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/2893865-presto-01282-8-quart-aluminum-pressure-cooker) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-09-23*
