Fagor “Elite” Pressure Cooker Set Reviews
(1) Fagor is the most under-rated pressure cooker around, and one of the best. I have bought the set about a month ago, and now most of my old pots have become obsolete, you can do anything and everything with this. Pasta, Pot roast, (non greasy and cooked well)chicken wing fry, Beef-Pork-Chicken you name it. I used to take about close to 3 hours to make any type of roast or crockpot style dish but now it is done in half the time.
(2) I own this set, and have used it a lot. I like the flexibility of having a large and small pressure cooker, so I can cook big amounts, such as soups or stews, or small amounts, such as risotto, just using the appropriate size base. It works well, heats up quickly, and releases steam quickly. Only complaint is that I would like to have some sort of raised basket and flat trivet rather than the pasta insert and wire trivet.
(3) I bought this one as a gift for someone, I’m not sure whether or not they’ve used it yet, but I have 2 of these (different sizes) and I think they’re great. They’re easy to use although I’m sure that all pressure cookers are a little bit scary at first. I get great results every time I cook with them, and they’re easy to clean.
Overall, I’d say that this item is great for people who are adventurous cooks who don’t always have lots of time.
