Customer Reviews of Fagor Duo 10-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner
Customer Rating:   Summary: nice product Comment: nice product because i can use it to pressure cook my half pint jars of jelly i make from my apple tree. I can also use it to cook other types of meat and come out nice and tender. The clean up is a breese no sticking to the pan and basket. Customer Rating: Summary: The box said Fagor but not the cooker Comment: I ordered the Fagor Professional Duo 10-qt. Pressure Cooker and Canner and was really looking forward to getting it as it had stellar reviews. The box was for exactly what I ordered but lurking inside was a Chinese made Kitchen Essentials cooker with a non-stick surface. I notified Amazon of this anomaly and they happily exchanged the product for a true Fagor product. Alas, the same thing happened the second time. I won't use non-stick and returned the second cooker too. I suppose Amazon cannot be faulted if Fagor is hiding inferior products in their boxes but it would have saved everyone a lot of grief if someone at the warehouse could have looked inside to see if the Fagor box contained an actual Fagor cooker or an imposter. I still would like to receive what I ordered but am afraid the result would be similar. Customer Rating: Summary: Product has packaging problem Comment: The first order was as a Christmad gift for my son. when opening the package he found the pressure cooker had a broken handle. I had that one replaced and a second one shipped to him. Upon opening the package this one had a broken handle as well. Obviously there is a fundamental problem with the packaging. Customer Rating: Summary: Teflon version delivered in stainless steel packaging, TWICE! Comment: I ordered the stainless steel 10q pressure cooker. The Teflon design, which sells for less, was delivered in the packaging made for the stainless steel design. When I had Amazon replace the pressure cooker, they sent another Teflon design in the stainless steel packaging. Apparently, Fagor has packaged its cheaper design in packaging designed for the more expensive version. Customer Rating: Summary: Great for cooking & canning Comment: I'd been looking to do some canning and got this as a gift... PROS It's easy to use with a simple pressure indicator and lid lock. The nonstick surface inside has been a cinch to clean after cooking! I've canned quart jars, although I'm not sure if quarts are "recommended" CONS The handle on the main pot is only attached with one screw...no matter how much I tighten the screw down, it seems as though the handle comes slightly loose when dumping an entire pot of liquid (like after canning). This hasn't affected the functionality of the pot, but it did scare me the first time I tried to dump the water out (the pot is very heavy when filled, and although the handle only gave slightly, it still was an "oh!" moment!) All in all, a very good product, and the included cookbook gives you a nice start on some basic recipes for the pot. More Reviews This Fagor Professional Duo 10-qt. Pressure Cooker and Canner saves you up to 70% of cooking time over other traditional cooking methods.

Recipe book included. Cooking pot is dishwasher safe; hand wash lid. Imported. 
Choosing Appliance -> Knives The importance of high quality knives can't be stressed enough! Buy the best you can and expect to spend some serious money. It is better to buy a couple of excellent knives and slowly add to your collection rather than buying an entire set of low quality knives. Start with a chef knife and paring knife. You will also want to buy a sharpening steel. Choosing Appliance -> Cooking Pans This is another area where spending money is justified. The best pans combine different metals like aluminum or copper on the outside and stainless steel on the inside. Aluminum and copper are valued for their ability to spread heat evenly over the entire pan, and stainless steel is valued for its non-reactive qualities. Buy pans which are heavy and thick with solid handles that are well fastened to the pot. As with knives, buy the highest quality cooking pans you can afford one at a time, starting with a saute pan and a 3 qt. sauce pan. They will last forever. At some point, a stock pot (which will be especially pricey) should be considered for serious cooking. Fagor Duo 10-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner
Useful info -> Sinks The choice of sink materials is huge. Stainless steel is self-healing, hygienic and co-ordinates with the latest trend in appliances. Fireclay or ceramic sinks are solid and traditional with the latter being available in a core range of colours such as blue and green as well as white. |
