Quick answer
For most Kuhn Rikon pressure cookers, a Duromatic or Durotherm rack is the right choice. Pick the standard rack for everyday steaming and the Hotel rack for larger batches or taller pots.
Why you need a separate rack
A pressure cooker rack lifts food above the cooking liquid, allowing steam to circulate evenly. Without it, vegetables, fish, or eggs can sit in water and become soggy. The rack also prevents delicate items from sticking to the pot bottom.
Kuhn Rikon racks are made from durable stainless steel and fit snugly inside the pot. They are designed to handle the high heat and pressure of your Swiss pressure cooker without warping.
Standard vs. Hotel rack: what's the difference?
The standard Duromatic/Durotherm rack (product IDs 310490 and 310491) is ideal for most home cooks. It fits standard-sized pressure cookers and works well for steaming vegetables, reheating leftovers, or cooking eggs.
The Duromatic Hotel rack (product ID 310495) is larger and designed for bigger pots or commercial-style use. It provides a wider surface area, making it better for steaming multiple portions at once or for taller pots that need extra height.
Decision rules for choosing your rack
- Match your pot size: Measure the inside diameter of your pressure cooker. Standard racks fit most home models (around 22 cm). The Hotel rack fits larger pots (26 cm or more). Check your pot diameter before ordering.
- Consider what you cook most: For everyday steaming of vegetables, eggs, or small portions, the standard rack is enough. For batch cooking, steaming multiple fish fillets, or using a tall pot, choose the Hotel rack. Think about your typical batch size.
- Don't forget the trivet: Both racks double as a trivet for keeping food warm or for use in a water bath. The Hotel rack's larger surface makes it better for holding multiple ramekins.
