Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Pressure cookers are gaining momentum as the new healthy, time-saving, and energy-saving way to prepare food. Pressure cooking also retains up to 50-percent more vitamins and minerals, and it requires less fat and oil when compared to other cooking methods, which means healthier, lower fat meals. While not a new method, the technology has certainly been transformed over the years to be easier and safer than ever. This six-piece set makes it possible to save up to 70 percent of the time and energy traditionally used in cooking rice, meat, and vegetables. The set includes a 4-quart pot, a 6-quart pot, a pressure-cooker lid that fits both pots, a tempered glass lid that fits both pots, and a stainless-steel steamer basket that rests on the inner ridge of the 6-quart pot, making it easy to prepare two dishes at the same time; the steamer basket can also be used as a food grater or a support trivet. Use the pots as pressure cookers with the pressure-cooker lid or as regular stockpots with the glass lid. An instruction manual and a "Tastefully Under Pressure" full-color cookbook with over 90 delicious recipes are also included.
For safety, the pressure cooker features a triple valve safety system, a visual pressure indicator, and an auto-locking handle that prevents the lid from opening before all the pressure has been released. The user-friendly dial format of its spring-type mechanism offers two pressure settings--low (8 psi) and high (15 psi), and its easy-cleaning auto pressure-release valve reduces food-particle build-up. Constructed from 18/10 stainless steel, the cookware not only makes a beautiful addition to any kitchen collection, but it also ensure long-lasting, high-quality performance. Even more, its plastic, side loop handles and lid knob stay cool to the touch, and the 6-quart pot fits inside the 4-quart pot for compact storage. The cookware can be used on all types of domestic stovetops, including gas, electric, ceramic, and induction, and all parts except for the pressure lid are dishwasher-safe. Fagor covers the set with a 10-year limited warranty.
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.

Another excellent Fagor pressure cooker,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fagor Futuro 5-Piece Pressure-Cooker Set (Kitchen)
I've bought several Fagor pressure cookers through the years and they always work fine. In fact they work great! This pressure cooker is no different. The only thing that's kind of tricky is getting the lid lined up so the pressure cooker is sealed. The Splendid and Duo models are a bit easier to line up but it's not a problem.
I do love the short handles used to make this pressure cooker set which is why I bought them. You can store the pots using less space. As always I highly recommend the Fagor pressure cookers. They work well and are our far cheaper than their pricier counterparts.

So far so brilliant,
By Lady La (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fagor Futuro 5-Piece Pressure-Cooker Set (Kitchen)
The quality of this cookware is impressive. Nice heavy heavy bottom with an aluminum core, gorgeous shiny stainless steel finish on the outside, etc. I also love that the pots nest for storage. The whole set does not take up much cabinet space, and since this set includes a non-pressure glass lid and steamer basket, I was able to get rid of my vegetable steamer pot.
I've only made 1 batch of risotto in it, but it turned out delicious, and was cooked so quickly! The pressure lid was very easy to lock into place, the indicator rod is bright yellow, so it's very easy to see, and the quick release valve worked perfectly. I can't wait to try some other dishes in my new pressure cooker! One thing to note: the packing materials in the manufacturer's box are not substantial. The first set I was shipped (by another retailer) had a broken handle on the 4 quart pot. The replacement set I received was perfect. Also good to know: Fagor's website sells replacement parts for just about anything that could break or wear out on this- handles, valves, gaskets, etc.

Fagor Futuro 5-Piece Pressure-Cooker Set,
By BRJR (USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fagor Futuro 5-Piece Pressure-Cooker Set (Kitchen)
I just received my Fagor Futuro 5-Piece Pressure-Cooker Set, today 07/01/2011, having ordered it two days ago, Amazon Prime, with next day delivery. I had previously purchased a programmable Cuisinart pressure cooker from Amazon.com, and was quite satisfied with it (note, the 5 Star review rating I gave it); however, the other day, as I noticed the "non-sick" surface of the Cuisinart Pressure Cooker had started to peel/chip, this was it, for me. During the past six years, I had already replaced every piece of "non-stick" cookware in my home with tri-ply stainless-steel/aluminum clad, and Lodge Logic Cast-iron cookware, and so wasn't about to put up with a peeling/chipped "non-stick" cook surface, not even in my pressure cooker.
After some subsequent online research of current pressure cookers available, I determined that this "Fagor Futuro 5-Piece Pressure-Cooker Set", is just what I want/need in a no-nonsense, modern, durable, and easy to use and maintain pressure cooker. It's a bit more expensive than some others I reviewed, but I tend to purchase for the long haul. I like everything about the quality of this 5-Piece-Set Fagor Pressure Cooker, it's made in Spain, has a ten year warranty, and parts/accessories should they be needed or wanted, can be easily seen and ordered from the Fagor USA online web site. This set, also, with the two cook pans doubles as either regular 4-qt or 6-qt pressure cookers or regular cook pans with the included glass cover usable with either cook pan. These two pans, also stack, one in the other, and along with the unique short handles of this set, make for easy/convenient storage, in little space. The Fagor stove top pressure cookers are now my choice, when it comes to pressure cookers, and I'll never again purchase anymore "non-stick coated" cooking surfaces, for my use, not even in a pressure cooker.
