Customer Reviews

Just Perfect!5
I use to own an electric pressure cooker, and after many scorched meals, decided to try a stove-top model. It was the best move I could have made! 18/10 stainless, surrounding aluminum on the bottom has kept every meal scorch-free. I feel completely safe using this pressure cooker. It locks easily, and the dial indicating if the pot is at pressure and if it is at high or low pressure is fool-proof. There is nothing complicated about using this pressure cooker. I just can't say enough about this pot. I have cooked professionally, and I have cooked for many years. I would not be exaggerating if I told you that this is the best-loved piece of cookware that I own. Fagor has produced an outstanding product.

Quick, quiet and easy to use. 5
About eight years ago I purchased the Fagor Duo 8-quart pressure cooker and have loved using it since my purchase. The pan is made of heavy duty stainless steel which cooks evenly and foods come out tasting like they are supposed to. No off tastes just well prepared food.

Once the pressure cooker reaches pressurization the cooker quietly cooks a tasty meal in minutes. Once in awhile you may hear a slight hiss but that's about it.

And finally, I think Fagor uses a standardized gasket for almost all of their pressure cookers. You can check with Fagor to confirm this.

Another plus is the ability to rapidly depressurize the cooker by turning the the knob to steam release. No more taking the pressure cooker to the sink to run water over the pan to quickly release the pressure.

I've cooked pot roasts, porcupine meatballs, soups, stews, ribs, and even rice pudding in my Fagor pressure cooker. All turned out great!

Very Easy to Use5
This is an excellent Fagor product. I'm not sure what the other reviewer really meant when saying the lid jammed, but the lid is supposed to be turned to the left to close, not to the right. The handle on the lid and the handle on the pot is supposed to meet and then you know it's closed because you hear an audible click as it locks in place. I suppose if you try to force the lid to the right it will jam, but why would you want to do that?

Anyway, there are 2 pressure settings, one for low, and one for high. The high is used when you don't have a lot of time. The instructions are clear in the booklet, and most meals will cook in less than an hour. It does take getting used to especially if you've never used a pressure cooker before, like me. But I love how quickly the meat gets soft, especially since I usually don't start thinking about dinner until late in the afternoon.

This is a very nice, heavy-weight 18/10 Stainless Steel cooker, not the thin aluminum types like "Presto". You're getting a well-made, quality pressure cooker with Fagor.
