Rikon is almost synonymous with pressure cookers in Switzerland, and after the launch of the Duromatic pressure cooker in 1949, it was on the fast track and won the Swiss Marketing Award in 2002.
 
Although Rikon is relatively niche in the domestic consumer market, the supply chain of most of its kitchen products is very closely linked to China, and most of the kitchen supplies supplied by Rikon to Coop, Switzerland's largest retail company, are OEM by Chinese manufacturers. However, pressure cookers, as the main business of Rikon, follow the independent production model, not OEM.
 
Swiss Rikon pressure cookers are made of 316 medical stainless steel, which is also standard in almost all high-end pressure cookers, and the outer layer is also mirror polished. The difference is that the inner liner of the Swiss Rikon pressure cooker is mostly brushed, and the advantage is that the scratches will not be too obvious, but the disadvantage is that it is relatively difficult to clean, and it is easy to interfere with the reading of the inner tank scale.
 
Duromatic Hotel, Duromatic Inox and Duromatic Classic are the main products currently on sale in Switzerland, of which Duromatic Hotel is mainly for business premises, providing up to 12L super large capacity, priced at 269.95 pounds, Duromatic Inox and Duromatic Classic are household pressure cookers in the general sense, and the similarity between the two is very high. The price difference is also not much, around £169.
 
The Duromatic Inox range of pressure cookers is available in two styles with short and long handles, as well as four capacity versions: 2.5L, 4L, 6L and 7L, and the same capacity pressure cooker is also available in two different diameters of 20 cm and 22 cm.
 
Duromatic Hotel is strictly a commercial product, providing 5L, 8L, 10L, 12L four capacities, the diameter of the pot mouth is unified to 28cm, for busy restaurant kitchens, its heating efficiency and large capacity are quite attractive, in addition, Swiss Rikon also provides Duromatic Hotel with a ten-year warranty to make it more competitive.
