• Cooktops: heavy-duty induction-ready base works on gas, electric coil, ceramic, and induction
• Pressure: 80 to 100 kPa working pressure, about 12 to 14.5 psi, with a 100 to 160 kPa safety release
• Size: 12 in L x 10 in W x 8 in H, about 9 lb, with cool-touch handles and a locking lid
• Warranty: 90-day limited warranty from MegaChef

Dried beans, tough cuts, and bone stock tie up a burner for hours in a regular pot. Sealed under pressure, the same dishes finish in a fraction of the time with the flavor locked in. The MegaChef MC-9500 does that at family scale: 9.5 quarts of capacity on a base that heats fast on every cooktop, including induction, with a steamer rack so the same pot steams vegetables, seafood, and tamales when it is not building pressure.

Key Features

• 9.5 quart capacity: Enough room for a whole chicken and stock, a double batch of chili, or two pounds of dried beans, so you cook once and feed the table plus leftovers.
• Induction-ready heavy-duty base: The thick bottom spreads heat evenly and is built to work on induction as well as gas, electric coil, and ceramic, so it moves with you to any kitchen.
• 80 to 100 kPa working pressure: That is about 12 to 14.5 psi, the range most pressure recipes are written for, so standard cook times translate directly.
• Layered safety release: A safety threshold of 100 to 160 kPa and multiple built-in mechanisms vent excess pressure when the lid is locked and the gasket is seated.
• Steamer rack included: Lift food off the liquid to steam vegetables, seafood, dumplings, and tamales, or set a bowl on it for pot-in-pot rice.
• Cool-touch handles and locking lid: Two long handles stay cooler than the aluminum body, and the lid locks before pressure builds so it cannot be opened under load.
• Light for its size: At about 9 lb empty, aluminum keeps a 9.5 quart cooker liftable with one hand on each handle when it is full of stock.

What's Included

In the box: one 9.5 quart aluminum pressure cooker body, the locking lid with gasket and pressure valve, and one steamer rack.

Before You Buy

• This is a stovetop cooker, not an electric multicooker. There is no cord, no plug, no digital programs, and no keep-warm. You set the burner, watch the pressure, and manage the heat yourself.
• It needs liquid and headroom. Fill only to about two-thirds, or half for beans and grains that foam, and never run it dry. Overfilling can block the valve.
• The gasket and valves need attention. Check that the gasket is seated and the lid is locked before every use, and hand wash both after cooking so the seal keeps working.
• It is not for canning. At 9.5 quarts and 80 to 100 kPa it is a cooker, not a pressure canner; use a 16 quart or larger canner rated for jars.

Perfect For

• Weeknight beans, stocks, and stews that would otherwise take all afternoon
• Induction kitchens that need a big pressure cooker the cooktop will recognize
• Batch cooking chili, pulled pork, and broth for the freezer

Care & Use

• Hand wash the lid, gasket, and pressure valve after every use and dry them fully; hand washing the aluminum pot keeps it bright.
• Before each use, confirm the gasket is seated, the vent is clear, and the lid locks fully.
• Fill no more than two-thirds full, or half for foaming foods like beans and oats, and never heat the pot empty.
• Let pressure drop naturally or per the recipe before unlocking; never force the lid open under pressure.
• Store with the lid resting loosely on top, not sealed, so the gasket can air out and keep its shape.
