Pressure Cookers

Does anyone know what pressure cookers Alton Brown prefers?

If he talked about them on a particular show, which one was it?

    AB really went into the mechanics of pressure cookers in the episode "Pressure". He has used them in several eps., with chili and grains, but this is the ep. where he hounds W about buying one.

    You can read the full transcript of the epsiode at the wonderfully comprehensive Good Eats Fan Page at: www.goodeatsfanpage.com/GEFP/index.htm

    The chili ep. transcript has two photos of AB's cooker, but I wasn't able to discern it's brand.

    Good luck!

      thanks for this... i had googled around for it, but couldn't find it that way.

      i'm going to lay odds that in the upcoming Water II, he will find a use for it again

        but did anyone reference AB's book, Gear for Your Kitchen, for his recommend(s)? re pressure cooker?

        from what I could tell from the pics in the chat, the pressure cooker may be a Fagor 6-qt... since the show "Big Chili" aired in 2004, the models available today may look somewhat different than that pictured in the show...

        keep looking! ::smile::
