Make fresh steamed lobster in 3 minutes, or bean soup in 20 minutes. Risotto? No more standing at the stove stirring for half an hour, you can enjoy moist risotto in 7 minutes! As for ease of operation, here's how it works: load the ingredients, lock the lid in place, select the pressure, and begin cooking. When the food is done simply release the pressure and serve. Your food will be healthier because all the water soluble vitamins and minerals are retained. You'll also enjoy the tender taste of slow cooking and the natural flavors and colors of your food. But best of all? Your cooking time will be reduced by up to 70%!
Customer Review: nice product
nice product because i can use it to pressure cook my half pint jars of jelly i make from my apple tree. I can also use it to cook other types of meat and come out nice and tender. The clean up is a breese no sticking to the pan and basket.
Customer Review: The box said Fagor but not the cooker
I ordered the Fagor Professional Duo 10-qt. Pressure Cooker and Canner and was really looking forward to getting it as it had stellar reviews. The box was for exactly what I ordered but lurking inside was a Chinese made Kitchen Essentials cooker with a non-stick surface. I notified Amazon of this anomaly and they happily exchanged the product for a true Fagor product. Alas, the same thing happened the second time. I won't use non-stick and returned the second cooker too. I suppose Amazon cannot be faulted if Fagor is hiding inferior products in their boxes but it would have saved everyone a lot of grief if someone at the warehouse could have looked inside to see if the Fagor box contained an actual Fagor cooker or an imposter. I still would like to receive what I ordered but am afraid the result would be similar.

Customer Review: Great pressure cooker
I've been using this pressure cooker for about 2 months now and I absolutely love it! It is super easy to use, substantial in weight, and way better than my old one with the jiggle thing on top.

Fagor Splendid 4-Quart Pressure Cooker Tuesday, December 16, 2008
Pressure cooking uses pressurized steam to cook healthy meals with beans, grains, meat, poultry, and seafood in much less time than many other cooking methods require. Made in Spain, this Splendid pressure cooker holds a maximum capacity of 4 quarts of Italian chicken soup or beans with sausage and works on all heat sources. The cooker is constructed of high-quality 18/10 stainless steel with an encapsulated aluminum base for even and efficient heat distribution. For safety, the pressure cooker has dual pressure settings on its handle--one in a dial control and another on a valve. Other safety measures include two pressure release valves and a locking handle to prevent the unit from opening while under pressure. A visual indicator lets you know when all the pressure has been released and the cooker is ready to open. This pressure cooker is dishwasher-safe. --Cristina Vaamonde

Customer Review: Just What I Wanted
I purchased this item for 47 dollars now that our economy is collapsing. I've always wanted a stainless steel pressure cooker, and this one performs admirably. It does not have a lot of complicated features or mechanisms to get in the way of it's intended purpose. It's just complicated enough to get the job done, and get it done safely. It does require you to read the manual. I see some reviews on here that say pieces of the mechanism melted over time, or that steam constantly escapes. The manual clearly states to move it onto low heat after the pressure indicator pops up. I have to wonder if people just aren't following the directions. This same problem could happen if you do not replace the gasket every 10 to 12 months, again, this is stated in the manual. Ok, now that I toss that out there. I just got done making homemade chili using a recipe that comes with the pressure cooker. In 15 minutes time on the stove I had a chili that tasted like it cooked for over an hour. The onions were so soft they melted in my mouth. I had a small amount of staining in the bottom of the cooker, which I think is normal. I get the same thing in my $80 stainless steel pans. I just washed it with soap and water and a little bar keepers friend. Clean as a whistle in 30 seconds. I prefer this honestly. My mother had a really expensive fully automated pressure cooker that was lined with something like teflon, and after a while it flakes off and makes a terrible mess. With the stainless steel you know you have a REAL quality pan that is going to last a very long time. I'm very pleased with my purchase.
Customer Review: Bad purchase
Fagor quality has really deteriorated in the past few years. I had originally bought this same cooker a few years back and it worked great but just bought a new one and the workmanship is terrible The lid dosent close properly, it grinds as you try to cloes it, you can see that the pieces (top and the base) dont align well, the handle is a mess. I would not buy this company product again

Tastefully Under Pressure (Introduction to Fagor Pressure Cookers) Sunday, December 14, 2008
Customer Review: Untastefully under pressure
This is my first pressure cooker, although I am a very experienced "make from scratch" cook. Subsequently,I have followed each recipe from this cookbook exactly. I have thrown away 5/7 recipes I made from this cookbook. In my household we are very adventurous and non-picky eaters. Many of these recipes are fairly labor intensive in their preparation ie: the Mediterranean Chicken and Orzo Pilaf:I had to throw it away: the flavors were all wrong. Other "memorable" recipes: one with shrimp (the shrimp was totally mushy/ overcooked) and the "Quick and Easy Steak Stew" was literally "too quick": it said, after browning the meat, etc. to bring to pressure and cook for 4 minutes. The meat was tough/ inedible and after looking in the cookbook that came with the pressure cooker, I discovered that stews take 15/20 min generally. I love my Fagor Duo Pressure Cooker , but will no longer use this cookbook. I do not recommend this cookbook, especially not for a Beginner.
