**Q: I love my pressure cooker for the last 4 years, they are great, I have been apprehensive about the black water color when I am washing it.**
A: I have the 8 qt Presto aluminum pressure cooker-love it, a recent purchase.  I wonder if that happens because of the aluminum.  I used it once for a potato ragu with sirloin beef:  yum!!  Hadn't cooked that in a couple of years.Where I'm from people love Magnalite aluminum pots.  Except for my Presto, I don't use aluminum pots because of acidic foods like spaghetti sauce that could leach out the aluminum.  Will probably get the Presto 6 qt stainless pressure cooker next.

**Q: Any real difference between the stainless and Aluminum? Other than metal.  My mother lived to be 97 years and most of her pans were aluminum.**
A: So, I'm totally confused... The product name says "Presto 01282 8-Quart Aluminum Pressure Cooker", but the "From the Manufacturer" says it is 6-quart and Stainless Steel.  So what am I buying here? I want an aluminum, 8-Quart pressure cooker - is this it?
