Mechanical-minded home cook who times, weighs, and logs every cycle. Tests both stovetop and electric models to demystify specs.

During a winter weekend, I logged heat-up curves from eight cookers side-by-side, toggling altitudes with a simulated vent. When the cheapest stovetop model reached 15 psi faster than a premium multicooker, I stopped guessing and built a test sheet. Numbers, not logos, started deciding my dinners.

I favor models with accurate PSI, fast heat-up, and verifiable specs.
