I am 63 and as a dad have cooked for my kids with my wife and just wore out my old Presto top wobbling pressure cooker and could not get the new gasket to fit into it after many many tries.
So I purchased this new Fagor set and was a little wary because of the price, being from the dark ages but I bought it on sale at Macy's and all I can say is WOW!!!!!
This set has so many uses other than a pressure cooker it pays for itself and on a flat top stove really keeps an even temp. If you have never used a pressure you need this cooker for the time
savings and most of all for the safety factor. Great quality for the price, great multifunction set and most of all you will never get blue fingers trying to replace a gasket and have many years
of service. My wife introduced me to the use of a pressure cooker and Fagor has done the rest. Great kitchen item. Would buy again.

I love this pressure cooker set. It is easy to use and the pans are great quality. Pressure cooking has opened up a whole new world in cooking for me. My family thinks I may be a little crazy because I get so excited to cook in the pressure cooker. I think I might be a little bit addicted.
By dragonlord (NY.USA.)
Fagor is the most under-rated pressure cooker around, and one of the best. I have bought the set about a month ago, and now most of my old pots have become obsolete, you can do anything and everything with this. Pasta, Pot roast, (non greasy and cooked well)chicken wing fry, Beef-Pork-Chicken you name it. I used to take about close to 3 hours to make any type of roast or crockpot style dish but now it is done in half the time.
By Joseph Ekaitis (Southern California)
Buy a pressure cooker if you think you'll use it at least once a week.
Buy this Fagor Elite pressure cooker set and you'll use it a lot more often. At home on ANY kind of range (smooth-top or coil electric, gas, induction), the two pots and their interchangeable lids add versatility to speed, and that equals more bang for your cookware buck (pardon the bad pun). The glass lid turns the 8-quart pot into a handy stockpot or pasta boiler. Put the lid on the 4-quart pan and, voila, it becomes that extra saucepan you never seem to have when you really, really need one. When dinner's ready but you're not (pressure cookers are rocket-fast, you know), replace the pressure lid with the glass lid to keep it warm without overcooking or drying out.
The stainless steel basket isn't big enough to hold a pound of long dry pasta, despite the photo, but it's the vessel of choice for shorter cuts like penne and rotelle, and for blanching filled pastas like ravioli and pirogies. Set it atop the trivet and it becomes the perfect steamer, whether you use the glass or pressure lid. And if it happens to fit a pot you already own, consider it a bonus.
Fagor pressure cookers are among the easiest to use and care for. Instead of a wobbling weight or a ringed post pressure indicator, Fagor uses a spring-loaded pressure regulator. Heat the cooker on high heat until steam begins to flow from the regulator, start your timer and then back off the heat to maintain a steady gentle hiss. Once you've found your stove's sweet spot, you're not chained to the cooktop. As long as you can see steam or hear the hiss, you can go about your other cooking tasks. Wobbling weight regulators can be thrown off if the pot is jostled, and sealed-system pressure cookers require a constant eye on the number of visible rings. The regulator is also the pressure release valve, engineered so that the steam dissipates and cools quickly. At six inches from the vent, the steam is warm but not hot enough to burn your skin. Remember, this is steam that's 250 degrees Fahrenheit when it's under pressure!
To keep the cook safe, Fagor pressure cookers have three locking mechanisms. The manual latch engages a pressure-activated locking pin that rises as pressure builds, keeping the cooker locked as long as pressure is present. The pressure itself pushes the flanges on the lid and pot together, creating a natural locking action. You'd have to be built like Mister Universe to force open a pressurized cooker. A small cutout in the lid exposes a portion of the gasket. If the pressure has no other way out, the gasket will stretch or snap, but will stay in place while the pressure escapes through the rim of the lid, not into the cook's face.
Odds are, whatever you pressure cook in one pot will be served with something you can prepare in the other as well. We use the 4-quart pot to pressure cook spaghetti sauce with quarter-pound meatballs in just 10 minutes under pressure, while the 8-quart pot and glass lid take care of the spaghetti. Every piece in the set, except the pressure lid and gasket, can go in the dishwasher. Your humble author uses Bar Keeper's Friend to take care of any really tough discoloration. Keeping the gasket clean is easy because it's so easy to remove and replace. With weekly use and proper care, a gasket lasts about 12 to 18 months. The money you save on energy will more than pay for a new gasket.
If you've never heard of Fagor or you're wondering if it's a brand a pro would use, Lola Bistro owner and head chef Michael Symon used a Fagor pressure cooker while competing to become Food Network's newest Iron Chef. He then went on to win his first Iron Chef America challenge, preparing one of his winning dishes in his Fagor. Although he's not officially connected to Fagor in any way, I can't think of a better endorsement.
By Amy Korobow (New York)
I bought this one as a gift for someone, I'm not sure whether or not they've used it yet, but I have 2 of these (different sizes) and I think they're great. They're easy to use although I'm sure that all pressure cookers are a little bit scary at first. I get great results every time I cook with them, and they're easy to clean.
Overall, I'd say that this item is great for people who are adventurous cooks who don't always have lots of time.

I've bought several Fagor pressure cookers through the years and they always work fine. In fact they work great! This pressure cooker is no different. The only thing that's kind of tricky is getting the lid lined up so the pressure cooker is sealed. The Splendid and Duo models are a bit easier to line up but it's not a problem.
I do love the short handles used to make this pressure cooker set which is why I bought them. You can store the pots using less space.
As always I highly recommend the Fagor pressure cookers. They work well and are our far cheaper than their pricier counterparts.

I've been using my Fagor set for about a month now, and I'm loving it. I've never had a pressure cooker before, and I'm finding that I'm much more inclined to include healthy beans and whole grains in my meals with the help of these pressure cookers. I didn't know what size would be the best, and I'm glad I went with the 4-quart and 6-quart. I like the 4-quart for when I just want to cook some grains quickly, or for simple one-ingredient side dishes (acorn squash, potatoes, etc.). The 6-quart is big enough for a stew dinner for about 6 people. I considered a larger pressure cooker, but was concerned that it would be difficult to move on and off the stovetop and that it would be cumbersome to wash. I haven't needed a larger size so I'm glad I didn't opt for the 8-quart.
The pressure lid is easy to use (easy locking system, straight-forward quick release); It's also easy to clean. I use these pots on an electric stove, and haven't had any trouble. I boil the contents on high, and then turn the burner to medium. (No need for two burners, as some cookbooks suggest.) These are very good quality pots, and I also use them for non-pressure cooking.

I prefer not to review this item. It arrived broken twice. However, I was reimbursed for it and am satified. I purchased this item to give as a wedding gift. I already own a Fagor pressure cooker and I love it! I would buy one again.
By B. Peters (San Francisco, CA)
This is my first pressure cooker and it works just fine. I had read a million reviews before finally purchasing one and was a little nervous about all the details and such but I didn't need to be. This is pretty idiot-proof...just put in the food and water, twist on the top, flip the lock and you're good to go!
Sure, you do need to check the steam output and lower the heat once it really starts going, but I have found that the worst thing that happens if you don't is that you get a little bit of stuff on the top of the pan as the steam rushes out really fast...nothing you can't just clean off.
Also, despite the manual saying to not put in dishwasher, I always do (aside from the gasket) and have had no probs after 4 months.
By B. Montgomery (Indiana USA)
I'm very happy with my pressure cookers, purchased a few months ago. I agonized over whether to purchase the 4 quart or 6 quart model, as I wanted both to be able to cook small amounts (e.g. 2 cups of rice) for small meals and larger amounts for dinner parties. This combination set is perfect, as it allows me to do both, without buying two lids and gaskets, and for considerably less than the cost of buying the two separately. I've made batches of beans and grains in the 4-quart pot, and a variety of soups in the 6 quart pot. It's also been great for cooking winter squash in just a few minutes.
The pressure cooker is easy to use and easy to clean (& I'm new to pressure cooking), and thus far the gasket has sealed with relative ease. The steaming basket and flimsy trivet aren't ideal, but this is a minor complaint.
I had hoped to save on my energy bill by pressure cooking - since food cooks in a fraction of the time, it should only use a fraction of the electricity / gas. I can't say that I've noticed any changes to my electric bill though, because it turns out that energy use for cooking is a relatively small part of overall energy use. According to Natural Resources Canada (from whom information happened to be conveniently available) the average household with an electric stove uses about 775 KWH (kilowatt hours) of electricity for the stove per year. At $0.12 per KWH, that would amount to about $95. Fagor claims that a pressure cooker reduces energy use by 70%. Assuming that you'll actually pressure cook one-fourth of what you cook on a stove-top that would mean that your average yearly savings would be $95*1/4*0.70, or about $17. Given that the pressure cooker set costs currently about $120, that means it would take about 7 years to recoup your investment in terms of energy savings (this would change a bit if you take into account that in winter the extra heat from cooking helps to heat the house, and in summer you have to pay twice, once to heat the stove and once to re-cool the kitchen). If you buy a new gasket every couple of years, it come out nearly even.
In conclusion, my pressure cookers have allowed me to eat more healthy foods - whole grains, legumes and winter squashes - without spending all day cooking. For that it's a good investment, but not so much to save energy.
By Jemima in Beeville
I grew up using my mother's old Presto, and was really excited to see what the 21st century brought in the way of pressure cooking. This Fagor set is not at all what I hoped for. Main problem is, I have NO idea how to tell when optimum pressure has been reached, and whether it is being maintained. There is no rocker, just a valve that sputters off and on. I have burned everything I have tried to make. This is very frustrating, as I am an old pro at pressure cooking.
The lid is hard to get on and seal. Last night was the last straw. I somehow got the lid jammed on incorrectly and the steam was leaking out the side. It took my husband pounding on the handle with a hammer to get the stupid thing to come off.
From the pictures of the new Fagor pressure cookers, it looks like they may have solved the pressure problem with a pop-up button, but I think I am going back to Presto.

I haven't canned yet, but I have tried 3 recipes. Everything came out great. I especially loved the risotto. I started it in a smaller stainless steel pan, sauteeing the onions and then rice, then adding most of the liquid until it was all boiling, then I inserted the whole pan into the pressure cooker on the rack (small pan is uncovered). It cooked for 10 minutes without standing there stirring it constantly for 30 minutes! It was perfect! The ribs were also amazing! I just put the dry rub on and put them on the rack, then drizzled a little bbq sauce over them. (Different sized ribs need different times, but the manual has recommended times and many recipes). A short time later the ribs were tender and yummy. I put them in the broiler just to make them a little crusty. Amazing! I can't wait to get cooking this weekend!
Of course, Amazon is always a winner, too! It arrived quickly with free shipping.
By Randall Black (Irvine, CA USA)
Pressure canned apple butter, in pints and half pints, using the Duo 10-quart pressure cooker/canner and very satisfied with its performance. The spring-style pressure mechanism is very quiet compared to the rocker style, and the psychological effect is less like a rocket launch and more like using ordinary cookware. The solid-bottomed 18/10 stainless steel has a beautiful, mirror-like finish and is compatible with induction range tops (Fagor manufactures induction ranges). The pressure slide did hang up one time, and the cooker wouldn't pressurize, but with persistence the slide goes in with a little wiggling. The 10-quart Duo holds four pint or five half-pint jars on the slightly undersized canning rack - a reasonable load for the home canner. The stainless steel ladle and funnel look great and are almost as solid as the cooker. The stainless steel funnel can be submersed in boiling water, and although that's not really necessary with pressure canning, why not kill bacteria when you can? The magnetic lid lifter is a great tool if you are boiling the lids, also not necessary except for water bath canning, but if you're rinsing the funnel in boiling water, why not throw in the lids for good measure? Haven't used the jar wrench because you only tighten lids finger tight when pressure canning. The bubble freer is a useful tool and the jar lifter is a must -- it's great to get all the tools as a set. As a pressure cooker, the Fagor Duo 10-quart can handle anything you can throw into it. Brown a pot roast, throw in two cans of mushroom soup, a packet of onion soup, a cup of water, pressurize and an hour later you have a pot roast with fabulous sauce. Vegetables should go in later or above the roast in the optional steamer insert to avoid turning them into mush. The manual is well written and the DVD features a couple of professional chefs who do a terrific job of showing how easy it is to pressure cook various dishes, including grains and cheesecake. The video hosts are charming and natural, and the DVD gets five stars for taking the fear and mystery out of pressure cooking.

I love mine so much that this purchase was a Christmas gift.Fagor Splendid 2-in-1 5 Piece Pressure Cooker Set
By Sparkly (Fairfax, VA)
I immediately fell in love with this set as soon as I opened the box. It is shining stainless steel, very thick and solid. I have used pressure cooker for 15 years. While my old aluminum one is wearing out and I broke another stainless steel one's handle, I have been looking for a new pressure cooker for 2 years. I have searched many local stores. Most are aluminum, some are hard anodized. They tend to wear out quickly. I was set to get a stainless steel one. Finally I bought this stainless steel set from [...]. Most pressure cookers are deep, good for stew and for cooking meat. This set comes with a 4-quart shallow pot which I could easily think of many things I could do with, like rice, stir fry, pancake,....... And it is easy to clean!
Today I cooked rice, it took only 8 minutes, Rice tastes much better than those made without using pressure cooker.
I would give it a 5 star, but the manual is a little confusing. if you haven't ever used pressure cooker before, it'll be hard for you to make certain what the signs on the safety valves exactly mean and when to use. Figure 8 and 9 are particularly confusing and IMO not accurate. I had to use some deduction, along with my past experience to eventually figure it out.
By Lih-Ing W. Roeger (LUBBOCK, TX USA)
This is a great pressure cooker set. This set is different from the Fagor Duo set that comes with two pressure settings. We do not need different pressure settings, so the set is perfect for us. The 8-qt one is big enough for a family of four. The set is beautiful in 18/10 stainless steel. I love them. I have cooked several meals in it without any problem. I highly recommend this pressure cooker set.
By PassinThru (PA)
Overall this product works well. I love the way the food tastes in a PC. Its healthier then the microwave. I have had some issues with it twice when cooling with water even though I only let the water run over one side, and not near the regulator, or the top of the pan. It was probably just too much cold water at once. I had no problem doing this with my old electric presto. The pressure rose so quick to the top sounded like a train with a roar, it expanded out the sides slightly burning my hands. No I didn't have it too full or foods in it that expanded. I now put a trivet in the sink and set it on that, before slowly turning on the water. I use it often using Miss Vickie's recipes. My biggest complaint would be that I find, with most steel from China it is just harder to clean, and it does scratch, I now use wooden spoons. I found this as well with other pans I recently purchased also. When I bought mine it said it was dishwasher safe, but in the manual it said hand wash the lid. I think I read somewhere its the same grade as an ss exhaust pipe on a car/truck. The outside is a pretty shiny polish although keep a dish towel between the lid & the pan to keep it from scratching. My old stainless steel pans of 25 years did not dull or discolor with rainbow colors. Why do these? I don't want to have to use baking soda or anything else to clean it as others have suggested. That defeats the purpose of a quick meal. If it were in my budget I would have purchased Kuhn Rikon only if, it was not made in China. Having the extra small pan is convenient for smaller amounts of food. The extra deep insert is nice feature also. I use the insert when blanching vegetables, its makes it easy to lift all vegs out at once. Its a little hard to tell when the pressure is high enough or regulate on a electric stove. The pop-up button is when to start the timer, even though no steam is coming out of the valve and thats when you turn the temp down. I wish they would make a Stainless Steel electric PC like the old presto's.
By C. Norris (San Jose, CA USA)
My wife and I have never used a pressure cooker before, but finally tired of spending 45 minutes cooking risotto. Based upon reviews, such as in Cooks Illustrated, we decided to purchase the Fagor cookers. We are not disappointed. The pans are well constructed; the instructions are clear; the use of the pressure cooker certainly does risotto, but also so much more. This set is a very good value for money, and I strongly recommend it for someone who wants to shorten cooking times significantly and retain food taste and nutrition.

I bought this for my husband after buying various egg poaching pans. The eggs would always stick and even with telfon coating on, you had to let it soak/sit for hours and then still scrub! And a microwave one we bought didnt work well either, eggs were either over-cooked or under-cooked. But this pan is sturdy and fanastic and makes literally perfect poached eggs! One down side though was the bottom of the pan after the first use and since shows water boiling marks on it which dont seem to be removable. No marks on the sides or elsewhere, just the bottom of the pan. (if anyone knows how to get rid of the marks, I'd be grateful to hear!)
By R. Johnson (Carlsbad, CA United States)
I have tried the microwave egg poachers, but the eggs taste gross after being cooked in the microwave and are not always cooked all the way through. I then purchased an egg poacher pan at a local big box store. The eggs were much better, but the supposed non-stick surface was anything but non-stick. After scrubbing stuck eggs out of the pan, and trying different techniques to make the cups non-stick before cooking, I decided there had to be a better pan. This is it! Out of fear that I would be scrubbing eggs out of the pan I did use non-stick spray the first time I used the pan. The second time I used the pan, I decided the skip the oil. The eggs were still very easy to get out of the pan. I would recommend this pan to anyone who wants to make their own poached egg sandwiches at home.
By A. Sather
I really enjoy this egg poacher. I agree with the other reviews, though, regarding the sticking. I spray the bowls with Pam and have no problem, but the one time I forgot, the eggs stuck and were a mess to try to get out. Other than that, I think this is a really good egg poacher. I like the fact that it is dishwasher safe and the handles make it easy to lift out of the tray. They are hot, though, so I have to use a towel or oven mitt, but they cool quickly. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase.
By J. Hebel (Bensenville, IL USA)
The egg poacher works as advertised. It makes perfect poached eggs without sticking when you butter the cups. I like that the cups are metal rather than plastic which does not conduct heat as well. The eggs seem to poach faster than my previous egg poacher. I am very happy with the product.

I spent a lot of time looking at reviews before I bought a pressure cooker. I investigated the premium brands, but wasn't sure if I would use a pressure cooker often enough to justify the premium prices. I finally went the middle-of-the-road route, and bought the Fagor Duo combination. Great choice for us. These are serious pots -- I've made a few coconut milk curries, and no scorching on the bottom of the pans. Stews and soups are fantastic -- it really does taste like you've been cooking all day. The smaller pot makes perfect pilaf in just a few minutes. The only downside is that I find sometimes the pressure gauge doesn't "pop" on its own immediately -- when I see lots of steam by the handle, and squeeze the bottom and top handles together, it usually pops up. Small issue though, really. The food has been fantastic.
By Snow Gal (Silverton, CO)
A wonderful genius pressure cooker. We love it so much, my husband asked me to write a review. We live at 9,318 feet and use this cooker every day. It is well worth every penny. We have used a 20 year old cooker and a newer presto (it was good), but this set is GREAT.
By John Dennison
Excellent. The first time I used it the meat came out perfectly cooked in much less time than doing it in the oven. It was moist and flavorful. I like the fact that there is a smaller pan (there are only two of us) so I can make a smaller and more economical amount. Altogether, an excellent product.
By David Crockett (Huntsville, AL USA)
Bought this set for my wife's Xmas present to replace the old jiggling pressure cooker set that she had for decades. The wife loves it. Besides the directional pressure release and the reduced weight, she is impressed with the two different sizes that she has to choose from in the set which comes in handy when cooking for three (the smallest base does fine) or sometimes more (the larger base becomes necessary#. Unlocking the lid is not a problem as she had experienced with her old one #different manufacturer). The lids and the gasket cannot go in the dishwasher but the bases can. This set is a great addition to the kitchen.

I have owned two other pressure cookers Mirro and Presto and this one is the best. I purchased the Fagor set for myself for Christmas and one set for my step daughter. We both love them. This cooker is easy to use and there is no worry about a blow up. The DVD demonstrates how to use it. I love the two sizes and have used each cooker size. I think I might wear them out I have used them almost everynight since Xmas. I make my own dogfood and will use chicken gizzards, at times. The cooker makes them so tender you can cut them with a fork. Chicken falls off the bone in 15 minutes. Stuffed Green Peppers cook in 5 minutes. Meatoaf cooks in 20 mins. Buy this pressure cooker set and you won't be sorry.
