Gourmia GPC965 6-Quart Digital Multi-Functional Pressure Cooker Review

Gourmia GPC965 is a multifunctional pressure cooker with 6-quart large cooking pot. It’s less expensive than most of the other 6-quart pressure cookers so is Gourmia GPC965 worse than them?

Cooking with Gourmia GPC965 Pressure Cooker

Gourmia GPC965 cooks well. Chicken, ribs, beans, stew, rice, vegetables and other meals come out tasting great. It’s very simple too. Just throw ingredients in, selecting cooking mode and start cooking. Food comes out near perfect (but to be fair same applies to many other pressure cookers).

Gourmia GPC965 pressure cooker has 13 cooking functions: Rice, porridge, multigrain, cake, meat/stew, beans/chili, poultry, sterilize, sauté, slow cook, egg, yogurt and keep warm.

Cooking pot

Cooking pot is 6 quarts large which is the most common size for pressure cookers. Inside is made of stainless steel. It doesn’t have nonstick coating like more expensive models that might make it slightly more difficult to clean but it’s not hard by any means. On top of that such cooking pot will likely have longer lifespan as nonstick coating can eventually start peeling off.

Quality

The overall quality of Gourmia GPC965 pressure cooker is good. It feels well made and sturdy. With that being said more expensive models do feel slightly higher quality but the difference isn’t stark.

Other

Gourmia GPC965 has various safety features including cover lock, automatic steam release and others.

Verdict

Is Gourmia GPC965 pressure cooker as good as more expensive models? Not quite, but it’s not far off. For the money it’s a pretty good unit so if you are looking for something inexpensive then Gourmia GPC965 is worth consideration.
