mguerra Posted November 8, 2015 Report Posted November 8, 2015 Do not expect your first few pressure cooks to come out perfect, there is a little bit of a learning curve but once you get it down you will be thrilled with your results .

CeramicChef Posted November 8, 2015 Report Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) Thanks, Doc! Looks like a couple of really informative sites. Hey, by the way, what kind/brand of pressure cooker do you have/recommend? Thanks in advance! Edited November 8, 2015 by CeramicChef Quote
mguerra Posted November 8, 2015 Report Posted November 8, 2015 I am using the Secura 6 in 1 but after 2 1/2 years the electronics on it are starting to fail. I am in communications with Secura about this right now so hold off on buying a Secura until I find out what kind of support I'm going to get from them. For $105 I expect it to last a little bit longer; although I am quite sure it is out of warranty they might do something. According to the Amazon reviews they are very good with customer service. The other product that people really like on Amazon is called Instant Pot. Look for a pressure cooker with a stainless steel pot rather than nonstick. They are very easy to clean and you don't have to worry about those supposed health issues with the nonstick stuff although I have no idea how true that bullshit really is. Quote
mguerra Posted November 8, 2015 Report Posted November 8, 2015 I did notice that if you buy the Secura six in one from Amazon you can get a three year extended warranty for about eight or nine bucks and I would absolutely take that deal! Quote
CeramicChef Posted November 9, 2015 Report Posted November 9, 2015 Doc, thank you for that info. I truly appreciate your input. I'll hold off until we hear from you about your CS experience. Thanks again! Quote
wilburpan Posted November 9, 2015 Report Posted November 9, 2015 That shrimp boil looks amazing. The only way that could be better is if you had some crawfish to throw in there as well. Quote
mguerra Posted November 10, 2015 Report Posted November 10, 2015 OK, Secura is sticking to the one year warranty. They said to change the fuse but I doubt that is the issue because a blown fuse should result in total failure, which I don't have. I have weirdo electrical gremlins. I might change the fuse anyway just to see. I would buy the Secura from Amazon with the 3 year warranty, definitely. Quote
mguerra Posted November 14, 2015 Report Posted November 14, 2015 I took out the old fuse and am awaiting arrival of the new fuse. I suppose a thermal fuse could have some sort of intermittent weird conductivity but I normally think that a fuse is either blown or functioning. Standby for an update once I replace the fuse. Quote
mguerra Posted November 18, 2015 Report Posted November 18, 2015 Unbelievable. The new fuse fixed it. I am stunned, and pleased. Four bucks and 15 minutes later, all is well. I have no hesitation to recommend the Secura and get the three year warranty from Amazon. Quote
MacKenzie Posted November 18, 2015 Report Posted November 18, 2015 That sure is good news, mguerra. Quote
