Product Description
Easy, safe, healthy and time-saving, the pressure cooker is a busy cook's best friend. This cooker allows you to select from two pressure settings without changing valves and it has a visual indicator on the handle to tell you when all pressure has been released. You can cook everyday recipes in 1/3 less time while retaining important water soluble vitamins and minerals. Want some examples? Okay, how about a cup of dried black beans ready in about 15 minutes, or an entire 3 lb. chicken ready in about the same? Risotto, done in 7 minutes or a 2 lb. lobster, cooked in 3?

Customer Reviews
Get one...You'll be GLAD you did!5
I LOVE this cooker!!! It saves me time, work, money, nutrients, cooks 3-10 times faster. You can put food in even if not defrosted [although microwaves help that issue]. They make the best stews, soups, sweet and sour ribs, chili, puddings, cheese cakes etc. You can buy a really inexpensive cut of meat, put in your spices, some water and wine, and in less than 20 minutes it is fork tender. Whenever I have a recipe that calls for cooked chicken [like enchiladas], I buy the less expensive whole chicken, put it in the cooker and in 15-20 minutes it is falling-off-the-bone tender.
This one comes with a double locking system and two levels of pressure; one for veggies and grains; the other for more dense foods like dry beans, meats or squash. I would never be without one again. I'm going to order the companion 6 quart that Fagor makes for those larger meats and veggies!
Great product, great service!5
note -- I purchased the combo which including this cooker, so I am repeating my review here.
Fagor is the least expensive brand that I am aware of which also has the 'modern' features desirable in pressure cookers. To learn more about pressure cookers and what is desirable go to missvickie.com (a non-commercial site devoted to pressure cooker enthusiasts.) Some of these features deal with safety, e.g. you don't have to worry about plugging the steam escape with Fagor. Fagor cookers also reach a pressure of 15psi (which is important.) Unless a brand advertises that they do reach 15psi, assume that they don't. I suggest getting an extra gasket when you buy the item as you will need one at one point (they don't last forever). I must also compliment the company on its service. I bought this item, and sent in a rebate form (for a free stock pot). They sent me a nice paella pan by mistake. I was satisfied, however I called them to make sure that there was no mistake. They answered the phone right away (without the common maze of annoyingly slow and complex menu options that leave you screaming.) The woman I talked to was very personable. This woman check on what happened, called me back, and told me that they would also send the stock pot to me, and for me to go ahead and keep the paella pan.
So much nicer than my old Mirro!5
No "jiggler" noise like the old unit I had, just a soft hiss of steam escaping. Has 2 pressures (8 and 12 pounds), versus the old 5, 10 or 15 of the Mirro. Potatoes cook quicker, dried beans are a snap! Easy to clean, plus it looks really modern and snazzy. ;-)
