Amazon.com Review:
Imagine turning dried beans into soup in just 20 minutes, cooking risotto in 7 minutes, or sitting down to fresh cioppino in 3 minutes. This 6-quart cooker helps you fix these and other delicious meals in about 70-percent less time than with other cooking methods while also using one of the healthiest cooking procedures, pressurized steam, to retain more of food's vital nutrients, delicious taste, and natural color. Made in Spain, the Duo pressure cooker is constructed of high-quality 18/10 stainless steel with an encapsulated aluminum base for even and efficient heat distribution. All ingredients go inside the cooker at once and the lid twists and locks into place. Once you set the cooker to one of two pressure settings, it is ready to go. A sliding pressure lock on the handle ensures that the lid will not open until all the pressure is released, and, for additional safety, the Duo has two pressure release valves to prevent excessive steam build-up. The cooker has a black ergonomically designed handle, along with a helper handle, that makes it easier to lift it off the stove. The Duo comes with a stainless-steel steamer basket and trivet plus a full-color cookbook with over 50 recipes and a detailed instruction manual. It is safe to use on gas, electric, ceramic, or induction stovetops and should be hand washed with mild soap to preserve the mirror finish and the gasket. --Cristina Vaamonde

Rating: - Fagor Duo Pressure Cooker6 Quart
Hey what can you say, its a pressure cooker. It looks good, easy to remove the lid and easy to operate. This is my first cooker so if I can do it anyone can. I've only used it once but managed not to burn the roast! It is quality material and worth the investment.
Rating: - not big enough for corn on the cob
The pressure works great in getting up to pressure quickly and love the safety features built in, but the overall diameter is not big enough for cooking corn on the cob.
Rating: - Nice Design
I had a Kuhn Rikon and still have a Presto pressure cooker. I got rid of the Kuhn Rikon. I love the Fagor Duo. The Kuhn Rikon design is a real pain if you have an electric stove. It is probably almost acceptable if you have a gas stove. The Fagor models work equally well on either type stove. Also, along the same lines, the Fagor and the Presto designs are much more forgiving. You better plan on watching a Kuhn Rikon very closely -- especially on an electric stove -- but also on a gas range. It can ... Read More
Rating: - Shattered handle in a sealed box!
Stopped at Macy's to take a look at this.The sales clerk opened a sealed box to reveal a SHATTERED handle.Buyer beware.Seems awful.

Compared to other pressure cookers, the design of the large handle on this one seems to be inherently easy to break.

Also note that a 6-quart cooker is too small for most uses.Remember, you can only fill half-way with soup, and a piece of meat cannot extend higher than 3/4 the height of the cooker.Check out the Presto 8 quart that costs ... Read More
