Amazon.com Review
Pressure cooking uses pressurized steam to cook healthy meals with beans, grains, meat, poultry, and seafood in much less time than many other cooking methods require. Made in Spain, this Splendid pressure cooker holds a maximum capacity of 10 quarts of Italian chicken soup or beans with sausage and works on all heat sources. The cooker is constructed of high-quality 18/10 stainless steel with an encapsulated aluminum base for even and efficient heat distribution. For safety, the pressure cooker has dual pressure settings on its handle--one in a dial control and another on a valve. Other safety measures include two pressure release valves and a locking handle to prevent the unit from opening while under pressure. A visual indicator lets you know when all the pressure has been released and the cooker is ready to open. This pressure cooker is dishwasher-safe and comes with an instruction manual and a recipe book. It carries a 10-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

4 out of 5 stars great cooker   May 30, 2008
Casi (Queens, NY)
I always use to cook my dishes for 2-3 hours so I didn't like to cook so much despite my husband frequent requests for me to cook his favorites. I did the research and got the best pressure cooker for the job for the best price. I ordered the FAGOR 10 quarts because I got scared of burns and threats of explosions and I didn't want any spewing/spillage from the vents. I have used it as soon as I got it. I made spaghetti sauce using frozen ground beef and put all ingredients in and everything was cooked and tasted good in 50 minutes. I made beef stew from frozen short ribs and everything was so tender after 1 hour and 20 minutes. The BEST PART is I can add anything to the cooker without taking it off stove. I just open my vent, wait for the indicator to go down,open the lid , pop the frozen vegetables in, close t up and cook. It pressurizes very quickly. VERY EASY! Sometimes when it spewing I turn off the heat and turn it on when the indicator goes down after 10-15 minutes. I noticed that the broth was not as rich as one simmered or boiled for 2 hours. Maybe I should let the meat boil for 10 minutes before putting on the lid to create more flavor. But if you are making a saucy dish with tomato sauce for lasagna, spaghetti or beef stew, I don't taste the difference. I find myself watching for the venting of steam and I find the adjustment of the applied heat uncertain. Sometimes it is not enough. But I am still experimenting but I am happy with the very tender results. My husband is very happy!!! If this works out, I might get the eletric one, too.

I have experienced pressure cooking since I can remember. My mother and father use one all my life. The fear of exploding one of those ancient ones no more; Now today you can make beans in one hour, soften the toughest carcass etc.

I've owned one of the smaller ones this pot is awesome, high quality construction easy to use and the price can't be beat. The Spaniards know their pressure pots since they use one daily. A Latin home without a pressure pot unheard of.

We have the 10 quart splendind model, and wanted to get one for my mom as a present because we like it so much. The first one arrived damaged (long handle on the pot was broken off), and now the second one arrived damaged (support handle on the pot was broken off). I have no complaints about the product, just the condition of the product upon arrival.

I received my very pertty Fagor 10 qt. Pressure Cooker/Canner yesterday and had planned to can green beans today. Looks like the fresh beans will go to waste. The problem... Fagor did not tell me when I ordered my CANNER that it was incomplete and required that I buy additional parts inorder to use it. You can't can without the required,but not included,jar rack. When I contacted Fagor America they told me I would have to buy a rack but did not offer any information as to where to buy such a item. I had also asked them to why in one place of the instructions it said you put 2 to 3 inches of water in the canner and yet the examples given in the book said to cover jars with water.Their answer was it was a type O. I think they need to get their act together. It is sure a pertty thing but useless without a rack.

I received my order today and don't believe the product description. There's NO stainless-steel steamer basket included and the instruction manual states that this pressure cooker is NOT dish-washer safe. While I plan to keep my order, I'll be more cautious ordering from Amazon again; if I order from them again. Don't believe everything you read. Caveat emptor.
