Are you looking for a few good reviews of the Breville line of pressure cookers? Are you looking for a Breville stovetop pressure cooker?
Well I've reviewed the Breville Fast Slow Pro electric pressure cooker and although it's pretty awesome I am sad to say that Breville doesn't even carry a regular stovetop version. My hope is one day they will because all of their products are made so well.
In any event my review of the Fast Slow Pro pressure cooker from Breville will focus on the price tag - why it is so high and and is it worth it?
Obviously this electric pressure cooker is only going to be worth it to people with deep pockets but even then some offerings from lower priced brands may offer some families better value.

The Best Alternatives to the Breville Fast Slow Pressure Cooker
On the hgiher end of the spectrum there are a few brands making some really cool electric pressure cookers. Sure Breville has a ton of extremely high reviews and they are a trusted name in the kitchen but there are some alternatives that are worth taking a look at.
One name you are probably aware of is Instant Pot. Their newest model, the IP-Smart Bluetooth, is their high end pressure cooker that does everything possible from their other pressure cookers and then some. It runs on an ap controlled by your phone or tablet and includes a few extra features that the other Instant Pots don't include. Even still this model tends to be less expensive than Breville.
A second alternative to Breville is another kitchen brand that has been a trusted high end brand for many years. All-Clad has their own electric pressure cooker that is priced similarly to the Breville BPR700BSS. The reviews of this pressure cooker however are slightly lower but if you already use a bunch of All-Clad in the kitchen you might want to keep it in family. Of course there are also a couple reasons why you might want to buy the All-Clad over the Fast Slow Pro too so make sure to read my review of All-Clad's CZ720051 electric pressure cooker to nmake that decision for yourself.
