Customer reviews on Clipso Control Plus

Many buyers give this product a 5 star, because it's simplicity of use makes it almost impossible to make a mistake and ruin a meal. That gives you the confidence to do some experimenting, and you won't be disappointed.

The time it takes to reach pressure is 3 to 4 minutes. It beeps to let you know that it has begun working, so you know when to lower the gas, and it cooks food to perfection. Plus it will actually enhance the flavor of your meal.

Easy to clean, simple to use, these things are many customers recommend it.

Then there are the health benefits, which come from the 18/10 Air draining vitamin system and holds 1/3 more vitamins without depleting any of their nutritional value.

Another good thing about this appliance is that the locking mechanism is easier to use than that found on other pressure cookers. That is a boon for older people, people with arthritis, or anyone with any illness which makes it painful to move the joints of the hands.

And it's easy to open and shut, with no big handle sticking out to get in the way, which makes for easy storing even in a small kitchen cabinet.

Summary:

Just because the Tefal Clipso Modulo is smaller than the Clipso Control Pressure Cooker, and lacks some of the special features doesn't mean that it is substandard.

This too is an excellent pressure cooker to invest in. Both have been made with ease of use and utmost efficiency in mind.

What it comes down to is considering your personal preference and the amount of money you are willing to spend on an item for your kitchen.

Although this model is one of the more expensive ones, but you are investing in a pressure cooker that will last a very long time, years and years, as opposed to spending less for one that just might give out long before it should.
