These are the Best 4-Quart Pressure Cookers on the Market Today
There are of course a handfull of smaller pressure cookers that are also excellent models and may be better for you or for your budget. This is my hand-picked list of top pressure cookers sized at or close to four quarts.
Kuhn Rikon DM Anniversary Cooker 3.5-L
A lot about this model is just like the Duromatic featured above. It's the same size and made to the same quality standards. This one however costs a bit less and has a plastic piece on the steam release valve that is both decorative and helpful in the kitchen. It lists cooking times for commonly cooked food items.
The model also uses the same lid locking technology of the Duromatic, meaning you don't have to lock the lid. It locks itself automatically when pressure begins building.
It also comes with a stainless steel steaming trivet so you'll be able to cook your more delicate items without buying extra accessories.
WMF Perfect Plus 4-½-Quart Pressure Cooker
I love this pressure cooker because of it's unique handle design. It comes apart for cleaning and maintenance!
One of the biggest problems with pressure release steam valves is that small amounts of food can spray out with the steam and slowly build up in the valve clogging it up and degrading the quality of the valve seal.
This pot's valve can be cleaned easier than any other meaning it's going to perform lust like new for you every time.
WMF is a German company and they manufacture their products in a German plant. Quality is superior. The highest quality stainless steel is used and they have their own proprietary base construction (TransTherm) that conducts heat evenly and efficiently.

Just like I said on my 3-quart pressure cooker page the electric models in this smaller size group are not quite as good as the bigger sizes but they will get the job done just fine. I would always choose a stovetop pressure cooker over an electric model in this size but I know these will be helpful for many people, especially those who are cooking for 1-3 people regularly.
