 These are seriously good pressure cookers. Jul 30, 2007
By Bajatrvlr
I am a self avowed pressure cooker junky. I have about 7 various brands and sizes and I have to say that with this combo of 4 and 8 qt models I'll probably never use any of my other ones again. They are built so well... They reminded me of Iron Clad. Plus they are so much quieter than my older style ones. I wish I had spent the money sooner. And, they are full 15 pounders, not the usual 12 lb ones I've had in the past... Big difference.
All I can say is spend the bucks and get the last ones you'll ever want to own.

Great, reliable cookers Mar 07, 2009
By S. P. Moore
I've had my 8 qt and 4 qt set for two years, replacing an old Presto aluminum cooker and use it all the time. The 4 qt pot is great for making rice, risotto and other grain recipes. I use the steamer insert in the 8 qt to make (I kid you not) meatloaf and mashed potatoes in 15 minutes. If you are new to pressure cooking you can't go wrong with this set and Lorna Sass' book Pressure Perfect: Two Hour Taste in Twenty Minutes Using Your Pressure Cooker (source of the meatloaf recipes).
If you are used to the jiggle-top pressure cookers, you will notice that there's a valve at the top of this one with some steam coming out and a button that raises to let you know it is on high pressure. It is much quieter than the jiggle top style. I love that it is stainless steel, too. Besides being easier to keep clean, it's much better for cooking any tomato-based sauces, curries, etc.
If you are new to pressure cooking, you will particularly like having this in the summer when you don't want to run the oven. Rice is done with 3 minutes on high pressure and an additional 7 minutes off the stove.

Convenient 4-quart pot, solid make Dec 06, 2009
By Sparkly
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.

Pressure Cooker Excellence Jun 20, 2009
By C. Norris
"afishionado"
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.

A Great Pressure Cooker Set Dec 03, 2009
By Lih-Ing
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.
