Editorial Review: 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? Amazon.com Review: Beginning in the 1930s, two generations of busy cooks employed pressure cookers to prepare family meals. The next generation, freighted with memories of valves dancing and hissing on stovetops, then snubbed pressure cookers. News flash--pressure cookers have come back, those old valves replaced by modern versions that ensure safety while delivering the speed, ease, and nutritional benefits of pressure cooking. This heavyweight, stainless-steel beauty is a fine example of contemporary engineering and style. Its mirror finish gleams, and its black handles, including a loop handle for two-handed lifting, stay cool. Pressure cooking traps steam to heat foods at temperatures higher than boiling. This cooker has an aluminum disk sandwiched by stainless steel in its base to speed the process even more through fast heat conductivity. It's safe on electric, gas, ceramic, and induction stovetops. Little water is required, so nutrients, flavor, and color are not boiled away. Vegetables emerge vibrantly colored from the steamer basket insert. Stews, soups, beans--even meat loaf, pork chops, and desserts like bread pudding--come out tasty and nutritious. (Recipes included.) Meats can be browned in the pot before the lid is locked on, and the pot can be used without the lid. The operating valve offers high and low pressure settings for cooking foods at ideal speeds. Safety measures abound. The lid twists onto the pot, with a rubber gasket ensuring a tight seal. A lock secures lid to pot. A vent releases steam if pressure builds too high, as does a valve that also locks the lid when any pressure whatsoever is inside the cooker. Another device indicates pressure and gently releases steam during cooking. Cleanup is a bit complicated. Hand wash pot, gasket, and lid with a mild detergent. Lightly oil the gasket. Remove and clean the operative valve. This minor cleaning inconvenience, however, should not overshadow the major convenience of pressure cooking. --Fred Brack From the Manufacturer
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - NOT the advertised product!!!I ordered this cooker after I read a Cook's Illustrated review, but I received a basic/cheaper line "Rapido" instead of "Duo" line. Please read reviews on 10qt DUO cooker. I am not the only one who is receiving a wrong cooker!!! I returned it right away. I am very disappointed. :-( Rating:  - Works as advertisedWhat can I say, it's a pressure cooker. It cooks faster due to pressure. There are good instructions and warnings. Hasn't blown up yet. Yippie! Rating: - Best pressure cooker for moneyUsed Fagor for at least 10 years with great results and NO problems. Believe made in Spain. Heavy-duty. Won't burn food. Has relliable steam escape valve. Doesn't turn recipes to muck. Works EXACTLY as it is supposed to for both sizes. You cannot beat this. Rating: - A great cookerThe Fagor pressure cooker does much more then I expected. The cooking time is greatly reduced, the food is never dry when done, and the meat is always tender. I love it. Rating: - An Excellent Pressure CookerThis pressure cooker is well-designed and operates smoothly and easily--a great improvement over other pressure cookers we have tried. Our one complaint is that some of the instructions could be more clear, but the pan itself is first-rate.
