Power Pressure Cooker XL - AS SEEN ON TV 

This pressure cooking is beyond amazing. I've had so many because we use them so often that we run them to the ground. If you'd even slightly interested in getting this, just go for it. You won't be disappointed.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: THE RELEASE KNOB IS NOT FLIMSY TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE NEVER USED A PRESSURE COOKER. IT'S SUPPOSED TO WOBBLE. ALL ELECTRIC PRESSURE COOKERS HAVE THE SAME WOBBLE IN THEIR RELEASE VALVE. IT'S NOT BROKEN OR BUILT INCORRECT.

Most women hate getting an appliance for Christmas but my wife asked me for the Pressure Cooker XL for Christmas last year. She (we, love it) I cook with as much as she does. Yes, it definitely is all it says it is however, after using it for a year I have a few tips and ideas about using the pressure cooker. First I love being able to brown right in the same pot as I'm cooking in but that bottom that you really liked the look of will not stay that nice. The bottom of the pot is pock-marked and no deglazing will get all the bits off the uneven bottom. You will have to scrub, and I mean hard to get it clean. Then it will start to discolor and some of the coating will start to come off leaving the bottom looking rough. Next the pressure relief valve icons showing the vent opened or closed rubbed off. I just took a permanent marker and marked on the lid where the closed and release points are located. Sometimes when needing to brown meat in batches as to not overcrowd the pot it is necessary to unplug the pressure cooker to reset to browning. There isn't enough time (sometimes) to brown multiple batches. I do like the way the lid comes part for cleaning. Moisture and juices will collect under the seal and the top of the lid and need to be cleaned. And when we bought ours we didn't get the chopper! (really didn't need it we all ready have two, or is it three?) But would've been nice to get more for your money. I'm new to your site. Your rice pudding recipe led me to your You Tube channel. I have subscribed and look forward to your recipes with the Pressure Cooker XL. I know you'll love as much as we do!

I've had mine for a year and just bought my mother in law one for Christmas. I think it's a great product and I've never had a single problem with mine.

Jack, 1 thing to remember, cooking times are slightly longer with electric pressure cooker due to lower pressure capacity, 10 lbs. typically vs 14 lbs stovetop pressure cookers.

Quick tip: When you let the steam out, cover the hole with a dish towel or something to keep the steam and grease off your cabinets and windows

I have owned 3 different Pressure Cookers. Keep giving them away and buying new ones. One of the best appliances I have.

My mother owns 1 of these and 1 from another brand as well.. She LOVES both of her pressure cookers... She uses them for EVERYTHING!!

I just browned my chicken in my Fagor Duo 10 qt. yesterday! As a matter of fact, I browned my veggies in all of that great chicken flavor, mmmm. I do it ALL of the time! The best part, in ten years after most of your buttons don't work and the electric pressure cooker has long since become a boat anchor, I'll still be using mine for searing, baking, cooking, canning, heck I can use it over a small camp fire if I want, now that's versatility!

Thanks for making this video. I just picked one up from goodwill (brand new!) for $16. Im looking all over youtube in order to learn about it before I start cooking.

This looked interesting on the infomercial but I was waiting for someone I trust to review it. Thanks Jack for being that guy. Love your vids, Scott

Pressure cooking is a very underutilized form of cooking. If more people knew what these things could do and how it can make their lives easier, they'd buy one in a second. I love mine.

Great video jack, I've had the power pressure cooker xl for about 5 months and the company states that you can not use it as a pressure canner to can vegetables or any if you live above 2000 ft. I just want to let you know so no one gets sick. great job!

i have had mine since about the time you made this video I absolutely love it still use it today never had any problems with it works great

I have the 10 quart and I love it!

I just got 6 quart Power Cooker Pressure Cooker, so more videos for pressure cooking please. Already did steak, and chicken and rice since I got it; I'm so excited to use it for quick meal that normally take hours. Got mine at a yard sale $25!

I have one too. I wish to see more recipes please.

I have seen this demonstrated on QVC but they are just trying to sell a product. I appreciate you demonstrating it Jack because I know I am going to get a totally honest review. Thanks Jack!👍🏻

I got one of those, they work great. I like doing the corned beef brisket using the seasoning packet.

My only comment would be to do a slow/natural release, rather than a quick one, the meat tends to dry out a bit, even with the juice. I've the PPXL 8qt for over a year and am still impressed with it.

Just looked at the website and they also have a 10 quart that can fit a turkey. Too bad they didn't send you that one so we could see you make a turkey. Maybe you could make a whole chicken to show us how it turns out.

I purchased an off brand from menards two years ago same features and a lot cheaper I've never had a problem it works great

YO!!!!!!!! heyyy !I DINT GET A CHOPPERRRRR!!

If you ever had one that never locked the lid you may have the silicone gasket on backward. After I finish my cooking I wash the cooking container, lid, gasket and aluminium separator the gasket fits on and then: I have taken a marks-a-lot and put a black line on the gasket so I know which way to put it on.

moved to the south, but still hasn't learned the 2 ways to pronounce pecan. love this review vids!!! keep em coming!

Nice pressure cooker, but sticking to my Hawkins Contura for $$$ reasons. Love the lamp too.

Thanks SO VERY MUCH! I learned more from You than I Did the instructions Manuel! I was ready to trash the damn thing until I watched You! Even the chef who created it didn’t show it like You! What Did We EVER DO WITHOUT RU-vid??? Thanks again!!❤😊😊😊

I bought a 6 quart one at Target before I had ever seen this on QVC, back when they had a former pro-wrestler as the "spokesman". I LOVE it and use it a lot. I make rice in it all the time (6 minutes for white rice). They also have a Brussels sprout recipe on their website that is great as well (soy sauce, rice vinegar, salt/pepper, & garlic) and it comes out perfect in like 4 or 5 minutes. Great system. I recently bought a cookbook dedicated to pressure cooking off of QVC that has some great recipes in it too that I'm going to try. Jack, one thing you have to try, since you're working on your Caribbean Jerk sauce. I bought some Lawry's Caribbean Jerk marinade. along with some jerk seasoning. I bought one of those big packages of chicken drumsticks, sprinkled the seasoning on it, put it in the pressure cooker, and then poured the marinade over it. 40 minutes later, it was so tender, the bones literally come right out. Soooo good. I've done it with their other marinades since. So easy and so tasty :)

Cool stuff Jack! I personally find it hard to believe that you got a Slap Chop-like product with the pressure cooker.

"Who ever heard of a pressure cooker that let's you brown the meat?" Literally every single stovetop pressure cooker can do that.

Watching you be happily eating made me smile. Thank you and God bless you ... I haven't smiled in a long time and your reviews are great. I really have enjoyed watching and I will finally be subscribing ... I like to watch several videos of someone before I subscribe, I like to see if the character remains the same throughout. You definitely won me over, thank you for doing what you do. From one chef to another, have a blessed day

noticed the leg lamp. Awesome.

Yum, yum, yum...you've got Bambi on your bun...LOL

Get the XL Pro ... There is no stupid valve to spin and lock or unlock. There is a simple switch that you flip to lock in the pressure and unlock. I don't think this type of pressure locking mechanism is in the newer models.

Not sure if. this is been mentioned but you conventional pressure cooker you can brown meat before pressure cooking...

Jack glad yours worked. I could never get mine up to pressure; it tells you in the manual for first time use to run it on the canning setting after filling the inside pot 2/3 of the way with regular water for 10 minutes. After trying for 2 hours straight nothing. Only the water steamed. It was my first time using it after I purchased it a year ago from QVC so it just sits on my table as an ornament.

I'm also excited ~ I'm also excited!!!

I see you had a Major Award featured in the background.

i have a different 1 and i use mine a lot. mine didnt come with a nonstick coating nor a slap chop though it cooks the food nice and tender. havent really tried stuff like soups and stews but i really like making stuff like hard cooked eggs,steak and chicken in it.

I have the Elite pressure cooker by Maxi-Matic. She's been around for 6 years love her.

I just purchased the 10 Quart and I love it. Very user friendly!

I wouldn't mind seeing you do a canning video.

Best way of cooking fast and easy. Thank you

I really enjoy your video's Jack. Love your dry humor too. I'm buying one of these, I'm thinking I'm going to get to 10 Quart one. Your video was the one that made me want to buy one. I was on the fence before this one! Nice job Jack!

I am so happy you made this video!!!! seen this so many times but really wondered if it worked as they said, well I'm now going to get one but after I see you make the canning video :) love your videos Jack an keep up the great job :)

0:43 he definetly said crackpot

I had my 8 quart PPCXL for several months. Worked beautifully, used it 1-2 times a week. . Now I'm getting a short circuit sensor error message. Customer service noted the unit is defective to return it (at my expense) along with a $14.99 check. My total charge for the postage and the return would be close to $50.00. Beware. Still deciding what I should do.

the cooker looks well built... the little knob for pressure or release steam seems really cheap though

Best Investment ever! I'm not a gadget girl but this one is above the rest! thank you for the videos. I thinking I'm gonna try canning just because too LOL

If the XL PRO people were on the ball they would answer all these questions that people are asking. The instructions are really hard to understand and have a lot of gray areas.

walmart has them on sale for 59.00

I just got one for christmas, life is good...

I hate to be a spoil sport,but I just have to mention that I just received an email from Laura Pazzaglia, whom wrote the book on pressure cooking, stating that electric pressure cookers were not recommended for canning by the USDA. There are issues with potential botulism contamination!

Thank you Jack! I just bought it today. Im looking forward to see you cooking! Great video review

He has a nice voice. I'm gonna purchase one.

Loving your videos, Jack! Keep up the good work 👍🏼

Looks like I gotta have one!

Can you do more recipe video for the pressure cooker?

Jack do a review of the "Perfect Cooker." I bought one and not one recipe turned out.

I'm buying minr this Friday

"I didn't read the instructions because I want to brown it first." That doesn't make any sense. That's like saying "I didn't read the instructions on my blender because I want to use the pulse function first." Maybe I missed something. Love you Jack, not knocking you, I just thought it was funny that you said that. I love your channel and your reviews, I've got several products you've reviewed on my amazon wishlist.

How do I turn down the power pressure temp

Oh wow!! Where do you find one of these?

A giant shepards pie! Try that jack :)

Yes can some strawberry preserves.

This is the machine I have, and I LOVE IT!!!!

Merry Christmas Jack, I heard mix reviews on this item, with that I'm interested in seeing your canning review.

+CookingWithJack Can I make two suggestions? 1. Can you define food specific terms that you use your show in future episodes? You used the term Gameyness and I have no clue what that means. 2. You should review the Ninja Coffee Blender. I just got mine and I think it is absolutely great.

Great pressure cooker Jack! Wish I could afford one. The meat came out beautiful! TFS & have a great weekend! :))

Merry Christmas Jack and family!

That chopper is not $20.00 to $30.00 by any stretch of anyone's imagination. I have the cooker, works great so far. Chopper also worked but is very cheaply made. Where do you people come up with these numbers, do you think people are stupid? Will never come back here if you can give an honest assessment of the products. Got mine as a gift, like it so far.

excellent review & results!!!😊👍👍👍

ok now I got to use mine. Fry something too

well done Jack, that looked so good. that cooker looks great

Did you read the directions on how long it said to look the meat? I am just wondering because I thought when you pressed the meat button and it said 15 minutes I thought that was how long it was suppose to cook for. I am just asking because I have been thinking about getting one and that's how I thought they did it on tv. I could be totally wrong.

With the money I saved by not buying this pressure cooker I can send my children to reform school

I am so disappointed with my PCXL. Not that it doesn't work, but the fact that the teflon coating started coming off. I have NOT misused, burned, or used metal utensils in it. I THOUGHT by taking good care of it, it would last a long time. A lot of pressure cookers offer a stainless steel insert pot. This one? Heck no, and I got a (I won't say rude person) not very nice person on the live chat, when I asked about it. I will NEVER buy anything WHATSOEVER from this company again.

O.K. VIDEO,....BUT FAILED TO SHOW SETTINGS ON WHAT TO PUSH TO START....JUST WENT TO RELEASE STEAM VALVE, AND TOOK OUT MEAT,,,, PLEASE ADVISE AS TO FRONT SELECTIONS,,,,THANX

Will you fry chicken , like KFC does

if you're not sure about canning, make sure that you do it right! People have died or had to go to the emergency room with botulism poisoning because the gaskets on the jars were not sealed properly in the vacuum stage! If the top of a lid button is still popped up after the canning process is completed, that means the seal on that jar failed! DO NOT CONSUME the contents of that jar when it has been stored!

The company over charges you on shipping charges and handling charges.Buyers beware.

Not recommended. We used ours six or seven times and then it quit powering on. I called their customer support and since it was past the 60 day warranty time frame, I should just throw it away. I'd never buy this brand again.

plz Santa I have been good this yr...lol .... ok mostly haha..... you must do the canning video next

why not do a review of the instant pot Duo or instant pot Bluetooth, the Bluetooth one has a semi mod/hack where you can do sous vide via the Bluetooth app on your phone.

Lid won't stop beeping. Tried everything

great review. Will definitely keep this one in mind, being able to brown the meat instead of doing that on the stove and the keep warm function are interesting functions. Was the meat juicy? Could be just how the camera picked it up but it looked a bit dry

I just got one of those I cant wait to use it pressure cooker :)

Jack I was going to ask you if you would do a video on the power pressure cooker xl and you beat me to it. so with the video you just did I'm surly going to go and grab me one.

You can brown meat in all these kind of pressure cooker. Do it in my wolfgang puck all the time but no on/off switch, not good if you leave it pluged in all the time

do you get to keep the XL? if you do hope to see more viedos with this XL. please make a canning video. Thanks

Is it me or did that steam release knob thing look flimsy . if that brakes you might as well toss the whole thing. My wife had to have this thing called the As Seen on TV Turbo Cooker Pot or Pan ,it was said that you could do fried chicken with just a couple of teaspoons of olive oil, It had a handle on the lid that was kinda like that knob where you turn it and it let steam out. well like the second time it was used that knob thing fell apart into like 4 or 5 pieces , washers , rivets and what not. and you couldn't buy just a replacement lid, you had to send the whole thing back and they would decide if it was improperly used an replace the whole thing. I decided if it broke after its second use the heck with it and trashed it.

Lol my daughter asked me where's the tmnt piggy I told her u said next month it will be back I can't believe she remembered u had one like hers

hehehe. Reminds me of the I Love Lucy episode of vitameatavegamin - "it's so tasty too, tastes just like candy" as she struggles to get it down. ;)

COSTCO has these $20 off with free shipping (ends today) for $39. I wanted to check reviews.

Hi, Jack. That pressure cooker looks so KILLER! You are truly AWESOME at cooking and gadget reviews. Troy from T-ROY COOKS is another great RU-vid cook that mostly specializes in southern cooking. I have a question: what's your favorite things to do at Christmas? Please let me know. I hope you and your family have a splendid Merry Christmas, Jack. See ya next week. ;-)

I have one of these that I received as a gift last Christmas - I was not that impressed w/ it. I've used it twice in a year and the the little open/closed symbols on the pressure release valve came off. And it did not come w/ instruction manual of any sort - just a recipe booklet full of bad recipes that I would never make. I only used used it to pressure cook a roast, both times it took over 2 hours to pressure cook a small 4 lb roast. The meat was not any more flavorful or more tender than if I would have cooked it in the slow cooker. And the dept. of agriculture does not recommend using these to pressure can. That is because there is no way to monitor the pressure or temperature to make sure the food has been safely processed to be safely canned to prevent spoilage. So, buyer beware - this item is not all it is made out to be.

Romanians got the first comment :D I ll watch the video now , haha

looks so good I dont use alcohal but looks good I just got one last week made a stew for start I want to make spareribs do you have a good receipe

What does this have over the Instant Pot Duo? Looks pretty much like the same machine.

Your awesome Jack!!! I just bought one of these after watching this :)
