Customer Review: Best addition to the kitchen since my wife
I have been using this almost every day since I received it. My wife and I have made some great food, enjoyed many leftovers and have begun to lose a little weight. We have made stews, soups, Coq Au Vin, Citrus Chicken, custard, and bread pudding. Plus a couple of home made shots in the dark and all of them have been delicious, and not a preservative in the lot. The prep time takes longer than the cooking, so I finally dug out the food processor again, that shortened up the prep time. Now things will flow more quickly. I bought the dessert setup by Fagor, it works, but not well. The silicone baking dish and cover is so flimsy they do not mate. This was quite a disappointment, but I'll find a better dish for the desserts. All in all a great purchase so far and I look forward to using it for many years.
Customer Review: Great for cooking not so good for canning
Loved the way it cooks but for canning people should be aware. Since this has a low pressure for 8 lb and high for 15 lb everything must be done at 15 lb. Great if you are at very high altitude but if your at low altitude you will be over processing everything you can. For beginner canners please buy a Ball Blue Book of Preserving so you know what to do and what not to do before forging on with canning. The manual and cookbook is lovely but the canning recipes and also the instructions are vage. For one thing you have to vent a canner before canning not like in cooking. No where in the book tells you this so unless this product is different you could end up with safty problems with your canned goods.
