The new All-Clad PC8-PRECISION stovetop pressure cooker takes the guesswork out of pressure cooking and ensures perfect results.

Flavor and texture are optimized with four specific, preset cooking programs (vegetables, grains, meat/poultry and seafood) and a two-part cooking process. The intuitive stovetop pressure cooker features an easy to set “smart timer” that automatically notifies when pressure has been achieved and released. An audible sound is also given when each step is complete, including when the meal is ready. The PC8 pressure cooker is available at retailers such as Macy’s, Sur La Table, Williams Sonoma and retails for about $300.20150729_132734
