Customer Reviews of Fagor 12 Piece Pressure Cooker and Canner Set
Customer Rating:   Summary: BUYER BEWARE of Fagor's Bait-and-Switch Scam Comment: Fagor is obviously doing a huge bait-and-switch scam with this product. It is advertised as Fagor, but when you get the item, you will notice that it is actually "Cook's Essentials" brand. Even if this is Fagor's own product (which some claim it is), it is much cheaper than the actual Fagor Duo Pressure Cooker in that it does not even have quality stainless steel construction interior; rather, it is teflon coated (not recommended for canning, yet it boasts that it is intended for canning). As so many other unsuspecting buyers have reported, once you get this cheap substitute, you are either stuck with it or required to pay the huge ($20 in my case) return shipping to return it. Also, be aware that it is not only Amazon who sells this unit -- it is also sold as Fagor on Heartland America.com website, and they clearly say that they have the right to substitute whenever they want, and we have nothing to say about it. Both Amazon and any other websites who are running this scam should CLEARLY state that the product is a Fagor "Cook's Essentials" product and NOT the Fagor Duo model that received the top marks on Cooks Illustrated website. Buyer Beware!!!!!!! Customer Rating: Summary: Best addition to the kitchen since my wife Comment: I have been using this almost every day since I received it. My wife and I have made some great food, enjoyed many leftovers and have begun to lose a little weight. We have made stews, soups, Coq Au Vin, Citrus Chicken, custard, and bread pudding. Plus a couple of home made shots in the dark and all of them have been delicious, and not a preservative in the lot. The prep time takes longer than the cooking, so I finally dug out the food processor again, that shortened up the prep time. Now things will flow more quickly. I bought the dessert setup by Fagor, it works, but not well. The silicone baking dish and cover is so flimsy they do not mate. This was quite a disappointment, but I'll find a better dish for the desserts. All in all a great purchase so far and I look forward to using it for many years. Customer Rating: Summary: Great for cooking not so good for canning Comment: Loved the way it cooks but for canning people should be aware. Since this has a low pressure for 8 lb and high for 15 lb everything must be done at 15 lb. Great if you are at very high altitude but if your at low altitude you will be over processing everything you can. For beginner canners please buy a Ball Blue Book of Preserving so you know what to do and what not to do before forging on with canning. The manual and cookbook is lovely but the canning recipes and also the instructions are vage. For one thing you have to vent a canner before canning not like in cooking. No where in the book tells you this so unless this product is different you could end up with safty problems with your canned goods. Customer Rating: Summary: Fagor 12 piece pressure cooker and canner set Comment: Got this P C and dearly love it is nice and large for the big things and you can also can in it. I have not canned as I got it too late in the season but plan to use it when I make soups and stews. I have heard only good things about this P C on a PC group I am on and everybody loves it. I have used it to make several large meals and everything turns out great. You can not go wrong with this PC I have waited for it to go on sale and it finally did. Customer Rating: Summary: Fagor Pressure Cooker/Canner Comment: Great duel purpose product, for small amounts of canning and large amounts of pressure cooking. Fagor always makes a quality product.

Choosing Appliance -> Built-in Ovens Ease of cleaning is well worth considering at the outset. Stay clean liners resist dirt build-up but pyrolitic cleaning is the ultimate. It burns off all baked-on debris at 500°C so that all you have to do is sweep out the resulting ash. Look out for ovens with a steam cleaning facility, too, and remember that some ovens have removable inner doors that are easy to clean. Choosing Appliance -> Do I need a dishwasher? If you enjoy washing by hand, no! However modern machines use less water, detergent and power than ever before and wash hotter using really powerful cleaners giving a hygienic wash result. You can save around 500 hours a year so it is worth thinking about. If you have a small kitchen or live alone, choose a slimline model. Fagor 12 Piece Pressure Cooker and Canner Set
Tips How to Maintain Appliance -> Cleaning & Maintenance Oven Never use a scouring pad of any sort to remove stubborn stains or soiled areas, since these pads scratch the finish and any future soiled areas won't clean up as well, especially with the self-cleaning models. When the oven is cool to the touch, place a cloth or sponge, dampened with warm to hot tap water, onto the soiled area and allow it to sit, for about ten minutes or so, to help loosen the soil. |
