Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Fagor 2-by-1 Splendid 5-Piece Pressure Cooker Set
Customer Review: It is made in China but what isn't anymore, not political, just a fact
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Description of Fagor 2-by-1 Splendid 5-Piece Pressure Cooker Set
Fagor's high-quality pressure cookers are essential tools for fast, easy and healthy cooking. In today's time-starved world, any item that allows for quicker food preparation while retaining essential nutrients and vitamins is something everyone can appreciate- and that's what we offers our customers. All of our pressure cookers are made of premium quality 18/10 stainless steel. Cookers can be used on any type of cooking surface, allowing greater versatility in today's ever-evolving kitchen. All our pressure cookers are designed with a great deal of attention paid to safety, function and design. Each Fagor pressure cooker has a triple safety mechanism, a pressure control valve, and a safety lock on the handle that prevents accidental opening under pressure, plus two independent over-pressure release valves. Every Fagor is now equipped with a visual pressure indicator and automatic pressure release valve. These features all contribute to making a Fagor pressure cooker extremely user friendly. Both the pressure cooker lid and the glass lid fit the 4 and 8 quart pot interchangeably and comes with a convenient pasta basket, instruction manual, and recipe cook. UL approved, all products come with a 10-year warranty.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. The two pots in this set include a 4-quart size for quick-cooking sides of rice or spaghetti squash and a large 8-quart size for family dinners of pasta primavera or corn chowder. A universal lid fits both pots, locking in flavor and nutrients.
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.
For versatility, this pressure cooker set comes with a glass lid that turns the two pressure cooker bases into a regular saucepan and stockpot. The set also includes a stainless-steel steamer basket and a trivet to rest it on as well as an instruction manual and a recipe book. All components of this pressure cooker set are dishwasher-safe and carry a 10-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
