Microwave pressure cooker

A question about : Microwave pressure cooker

Am posting here as I think it may get lost on existing pressure cooker threads on OS.

This new contraption is said to save oodles of time, which is great for the busy or terminallly lazy (ie me ). Imagine making soup in a few minutes without risk of burning, all the smell involved in anything that requires constant stirring etc!

BUT using plastic to heat food to a v high temperature feels intuitively dodgy. Would you use it? Thoughts please.

Best answers:

• That looks great but like you I'm uneasy cooking with plastic at such a high temperature. I have lakeland plastic pans that state bpa free but just use them for heating soup up.
  I bought a stainless steel pressure cooker as had an aluminium one for years dont trust aluminium either.
  I have to say I'm tempted with this though. Hate the hissing and steam from the pc and they are a pain l to clean. Tried slow cooker soup and in an ordinary pan but prefer my pc soup.
  True you could just put boiling water into a conventional pc
  and it isnt really big enough for the appetites in this house.
  the article is worth reading for the funny comments alone
• I too was tempted, but then I have a stainless steel pressure cooker, swapped from aluminium years ago. I use it every week either for soup or stew. Just now I simply could not afford it, and having the pressure cooker, which by the way was sort of free, I shut my eyes and turned the page.
• Thanks Vf, looks nice, but a bit wary. If it did go bang, would damage microwave as well. Maybe would distort over time, and that is what I would be looking for.
• Yes I agree it looks good but like i say it wouldn't be big enough for the vat of soup I make every week for our lunches.
  The fact it's placcy even if it's bpa free. I think that's only
  Safe for cold drinking bottles.
  I even use a stainless steel water bottle.
  The fact it's placcy is putting me off as well as the price.
• Jinny thanks for the tip about the comments in the article. Gave me a laugh!
