Pressure cookers allow you to get dinner on the table faster than other traditional cooking methods. Most electric pressure cookers also have multiple cooking settings, like sauté and slow cook settings, so you can do everything in one pot for easier cleanup. For example, you can get Pressure-Cooker Beef-and-Bean Chili on the table in just 55 minutes, no need to spend all day in the kitchen. Newer versions of this handy countertop appliance are also outfitted with safety features to ensure that cooking is as safe as possible. We've rounded up the top-rated electric presure cookers that reviewers agree are worth the price.
