Pressure cookers are gaining momentum as the new healthy, time-saving, and energy-saving way to prepare food. While not a new method, the technology has certainly been transformed over the years to be easier and safer than ever. This two-cooker set allows you to save up to 70 percent of the time and energy traditionally used in cooking rice, meat, and vegetables. One pressure lid fits both cookers in the set. The 4-quart pressure cooker doubles as a saucepan, when used with the included glass lid, while the 8-quart cooker holds the handy basket insert, with its legs and handle, great for draining pasta or steaming vegetables. Fagor constructs the cookers of 18/10 stainless steel, the handles of black heat-resistant plastic, and the lid of tempered glass. A safety-lock handle, visual pressure indicator, and automatic pressure release setting ensure the lid won't come off unintentionally. The dial format of the spring-type mechanism means you can change the setting without changing valves. A recipe book is included, and all parts except the pressure lid are dishwasher-safe. Founded in Spain, Fagor manufactures home appliances and cookware with a "green" focus on environmentally-sound working conditions for employees and energy efficiency for consumers. In Europe, Fagor holds environmental stewardship awards, and in the U.S. is a participant in the Energy Star program, a government-backed program to help protect the environment. Join the green revolution and try a pressure cooker today. --Ann Bieri What's in the Box

Not Your Granny's Pressure Cooker!
»
If you've tried pressure cooking in the past and it didn't impress you, you should try these Fagor pressure cookers. The bottom of the pan is flat so they work great on ANY cooking surface. They're all stainless, so they're easy to clean and maintain. Pressure is regulated by a spring-loaded valve, rather than a weight, so the hissing, rattling, steam-belching pressure cooker of yore is no more. Once pressure is up there's only a quiet, minimal release of steam while cooking. I'm still getting used to pressure cooking, but my results so far have been good. I was so impressed with my Fagor Duos that I bought the entire Duo line for my Mother for Christmas. On Christmas morning when she opened her gifts she was completely beside herself, like a kid in a candy store! All she talked about all day was what she was gonna try out in her new pressure cookers. Quite the response from the woman who's been pressure cooking for over 50 years and nearly impossible to buy for because she has everything!

Excellent Combo

Having 2 potsizes with the same lid is excellent. Sometimes you just don't need the huge pots.

A Good Quality Time/Energy Saver
»
This Fagor set is well made, sturdy (so far), and easy to use. The ability to cook beans in 10 minutes instead of 2 hours is a fantastic aid to both cooking and energy conservation. Most foods can be cooked in a pressure cooker.
The only reason I've rated this set 4 stars instead of 5 is because it is made in China, and I've seen these in the store with broken handles, so the handles might be a little bit brittle. Otherwise, the quality seems excellent, and, as far as my own experience, I would recommend buying these right away before you waste more money and time on your cooking.
