The
old Presto Pressure Cooker was replaced. The new one is 8 quarts and
the old one still functioning after 30 years was 5 quart. The
construction is basically the same, but the new one is polished
aluminum, which won't leach aluminum as much as the older type material.
A
large percentage of my cooking is done with the pressure cooker. With a
bit of practice cooking is quick and food retains more nutrients.
For
an insert a colander is utilized with the handles knocked off. All
pressure cookers should have an insert to prevent water from touching
the material being cooked, and to prevent material from bubbling and
clogging the pressure ports. I have several inserts, but see no reason
why the fold up type would not work.
Here is what I use.

screen type is ideal for grains, and the larger is my first effort,
which is probably better for solid food and beans. It is also easier to
clean.
There are several Pressure Cookers on the market, but
with ridiculously complicated locking mechanisms, and peculiar ports.
Caveat emptor!
