With several features focused on safety, this pressure cooker from Fagor not only produces delicious meals but does so without concern for unexpected pressure release. An automatic release position, visual pressure indicator, and safety lock handle all work together to provide safe monitoring and management of the cooker. The versatile vessel's 18/10 stainless-steel construction works comfortably on all heat sources including gas, electric, ceramic, and induction. The accompanying stainless-steel lid fits securely while the perforated steamer basket slips inside with ease. Thanks to the ergonomically designed black handle, transporting from here to there is easy and comfortable. The cooker holds 8 quarts and purchase includes both a manual and recipe book. This piece should be hand washed and comes backed by a 10-year warranty.

Comments about Fagor Duo 8-Quart Pressure Cooker:
I have an old-fashioned pressure cooker from the 70s that still works great, but this new Fagor has many features that make it much more user-friendly. The stainless steel-clad surface with aluminum core makes it ideal to brown foods before cooking them under pressure. The quick-release feature is very useful, and the cooker is light and ergonomically well-designed. It is also QUIET! I use it to cook beans and whole grains quickly, as well as soups and risottos. The Duo cooker has a low and high pressure selection, but I have not used the low setting yet and don't know if that is necessary.
