The Main Limitations of the T-fal CY505E

The T-fal CY505E, although economically and functionally preferable, also has a few limitations that set it back from being the unquestionable best electric pressure cooker in the market.

The most notable of such limitations are as follows:

  • The T-fal comes in only one model and one color, that leaves less room for aesthetic customization.
  • The T-fal CY505E is also not able to offer you any choice in terms of volume, making it a little less versatile as a choice.
  • The T-fal CY505E also lacks any special ability such as the Yogurt Maker of the Instant Pot or the Flavor Infusion technology of the Power Pressure Cooker XL (click here for the difference between the two).

However, even with these few limitations, the T-fal CY505E is still one of the most preferable products among all the electric pressure cookers available in the market.

Technical Specifications

The Electric Pressure Cooker is an electronic device. So it does not do to not know the exact specifications of your electronic device. The technical specifications of the T-fal CY505E are as follows:

  • The T-fal CY505E has a volume of 6.3 quarts.
  • The T-fal CY505E has a 1.8 mm thick four layer ceramic pot.

So... Is the T-fal CY505E worth it?

I found it a little hard to operate. Also, when I tried to make some simple dishes like beans or rice, it took longer than in my Instant Pot.

So I think it depends. If you are on a budget and want a cheap pressure cooker - it may be a good choice for you.

But if you are willing to spend a little more - Go with the top brands like the Power Pressure Cooker XL or Instant Pot.
