I love the item but it took a month to get it. The tomatoes were done before it came in the mail. It started in Michigan went to Maryland and back to Michigan before I got it.

I can some of my faviorite foods. My new glass top stove would not stand up to the weight of my old 16qt pressure cooker. I did some reaserch and purchased this product last year. Easy to use as a canner or a cooker. Processes up to 4 jars at once. This is a great purchase for a first time canner or new homemaker. I use my cooker about 2 to 3 times a week just for cooking. Foods taste so much better. I enjoy mine so much that I am buying two more to give as gifts.

If you don't have a big freezer, canning is the way to go. You need a pressure cooker to can any low acid foods such as meat. I can my own
spaghetti sauce with meatballs, vegetable soup, tomatoe juice, chicken, beef and more.

With my old canner, was hard to find replacent parts. When I made this purchase, I ordered 2 extra sealing rings and 1 extra lid.

This solved the problem I was having with cooker not building steam. I was putting up with all sorts of twisting and banging to make the old one work for almost a year. Why did I not buy it then---description did not tell that it would fit my size cooker. They changed the description to explain the 9" and 10" gaskets. And they riased the price. Not to worry ---- this was the fix needed. I was ready to get a new cooker.

I love the fact this unit is multi-function. I've wanted both a rice cooker and electronic pressure cooker. I am thrilled with the prospect of a combination unit to save storage space. This cooker is sleek looking, quiet when in use, and a breeze to clean with its internal nonstick surface. To be honest, I own a new-generation pressure cooker which I've never used because I am too terrified to use it. I know is ridiculous, but I just can't bring myself to use it for fear of the old days when lids could blow off if the cook wasn't careful. I wanted an electronic pressure cooker because I felt safer (stupid but true). I have used my new fagor in pressure cooker mode to make Risotto, which requires use of the browning function. The rice/onion mixture browned nicely and the risotto turned out marvelously. I also wasn't scared when using the pressure feature. I do wish this unit was bigger (8 or 10 quarts) as I cook in quantity. I will certainly be using this item over and over again, especially in pressure mode. I can't wait to make succulently tender meat in pressure cooker mode, or use the rice feature for sushi rice. The possibilities with this unit are endless.

I have a Presto 4 qt. pressure cooker which I like a lot, but wanted something bigger so I bought the Fagor 6 qt. The inside diameter of the Fagor is 8 3/4" vs 8 3/8" for the Presto, 3/8" difference which may not seem like much, but I cook mostly with stainless steel inserts, bowls and the like, to get the double boiler effect, and it's easier to get the bowls out of the Fagor, a tricky job when they are still hot. But the Fagor makes a hissing sound at a pitch I didn't like at all. So I went back to the Presto which makes a nice chuga-chuga sound with the little cap rocking back and forth, a sound I actually find pleasing (I'm a violinmaker, so sound matters to me). But then I found an old aluminum cooker at Goodwill, which I scavenged for the vent tube and cap, and installed it on the Fagor. Voila! A Fagor-Presto. It has the size I like and now the sound also. If you're not handy like that, I would go with the 6 qt. Presto, nice simple design, and that comforting sound heralding a good meal.

This product is worthless. It would not detect Fagor's own cookware on the surface. So, it beeped continually and turned itself off. The instruction manual is horrible and the controls on the cooktop are all but unusable. You might as well throw your money in the street.

However you will have to scrape it off the walls. The pressure release on the lid worked on only occasionally. One of the times it did not was yesterday, when the whole contraption blew up. If you need more persuasion, I'll note that I had to replace a torn gasket the first week I had it. If you're still not sure, you are one stubborn dude.

Product was exactly as described. It is so easy to use and to clean. Was worth every penny. I would recomend this product to everyone and I would definitely purchase it again. I purchased to duo set because of the price savings. The steamer basket and trivet work perfectly and I will use them alot.

I am very pleased with this pressure cooker by Fagor. It is made of high quality stainless steel. It cooks amazingly fast! Meats are moist and tender, roasted potatoes are ready in 3 minutes. A whole chicken was cooked in only 17 minutes. It reaches high pressure quickly. I highly recommend this cooker.
