Steam vegetables in a flash or cook beans and grains super-fast with little or no pre-soaking involved. Cooks without oil. Maintain the natural color and flavor of foods. Safe: The Fagor Pressure cooker is equipped with three independent pressure release mechanisms. If the unit is left unattended the main valve will begin to release excess pressure, next the safety valve will assist in releasing pressure and finally the gasket will protrude from the notch located on the side of the lid. Moreover, pressure will never build up if the safety lock has not been moved to the closed position. Once the pressure indicator has popped up, it will automatically block this safety lock, not allowing you to move it to the “open” position until all the pressure has been released.

I bought this after watching my cooking shows and had never used a pressure cooker before. I was always afraid of the horror stories of them blowing up. All you have to do is read the directions and this pressure cooker has 3 safety measures in place so you can’t blow the lid off it. I’ve used it several times already and it cooks the meals quickly and meat falls off the bone! I’ve made Asian chicken, roast and potatoes, beef stroganoff. Doing a “quick release” is easy too. You…
