FlaGal Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 We just had an Aldi's open up near my workplace, and they are advertising a Crofton SS Pressure cooker for under $40.00 - so I'm wondering if this is a good deal or if I should pony up almost double the price for a Presto SS one? Thank you! Link to comment
Violet Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I don't know without seeing it. I do agree, though, get stainless steel and not aluminum. I found two at the thrift stores for $15 each. One was brand new, the other just slightly used. My friend got an older model Presto for $7 at Goodwill. Just in case you want to try to find something less expensive yet. Link to comment
mom11 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 If it is a cooker, then I don't think you can use it for canning. You can get a Presto, that cans for about $70-90. Link to comment
Violet Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I think she justs wants a cooker, not a canner. That is what I though she was asking. The only thing is not being able to get replacement gaskets or parts later on. This may help her out: http://aldireview.niesens.com/forum/viewto...28d62b62dbabbd3 Link to comment
FlaGal Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 Thanks, it is for cooking. I see that the maker of the Crofton pressure cooker is out of the country - so it would probably be difficult to find the replacement parts for it..... Guess I'll put the Presto on my Christmas wish list! Link to comment

I got backup replacement gaskets, overpressure plugs and regulators for my canner, and never gave a thought to my pressure cooker! Thanks Violet! Link to comment
