Fagor Splendid 2-in-1 5 Piece Pressure Cooker Set

Product Overview

The rapid results produced by pressure cookers (a whole chicken in 20 minutes, cubed potatoes in a mere five minutes) make them a favorite among time-pressed chefs. This Splendid 2-in-1 system--which includes 4- and 6-quart pots (one deep and one shallow), a pressure cooker lid that fits both containers, a tempered glass lid, a steamer basket, and a recipe book--lives up to the billing admirably, offering such features as a visual pressure indicator, an automatic pressure release (which lets the chef release pressure without running the device under cold water), and a triple lock safety system that keeps users from inadvertently burning themselves. The Splendid pots are constructed of durable 18/10 stainless steel with aluminum-clad bottoms for superior heat conduction. To use one of the pots, merely seal the food and liquids with the airtight lid, and then place the pressure cooker on a stove burner. The unit will bring the internal temperature up to 250 degrees F, building up pressurized steam that begins to quickly break down the fibers in the food. The method preserves the food's inherent vitamins, minerals, flavors, and aromas, while keeping it moist and succulent. Chefs who want to use the pots for traditional stovetop cooking will appreciate the glass lid, which seals tightly over the rims to trap moisture while letting users monitor the food's progress. The stainless-steel steamer basket fulfills another favorite function, holding vegetables such as broccoli or carrots over steaming water or serving as a colander insert for pasta. For added convenience, the 2-in-1 set comes with an instruction manual and recipe book. All Fagor pressure cookers carry a 10-year warranty. What's in the Box: 4-quart pot, 6-quart pot, pressure cooker lid (fits both pots), tempered glass lid, pasta/steamer basket insert, recipe book, user's manual.

Nicholeson January 10, 2005.....I am a longtime cook, skilled with old aluminum Presto pressure cookers. I received the Fagor Splendid 2-in-1 cooker as a requested gift about 3 years ago. My biggest complaint after a couple years of use was the fancy V-cross-section gasket, which stopped sealing properly after about a year of use, and is pricey to replace. 2009 update: Fagor has switched to a much longer lasting grey gasket (the early ones were turquoise) that seals better. I bought one a couple of years ago and it is still going strong......I hardly use the shallower pan from this set, but the deep pan is wonderfully useful. It's stainless steel, not aluminum, so I don't worry about aluminum getting into the food. It's got a nice heavy bottom, and so is good for deepfrying and popping popcorn as well as pressure cooking. The tall capacity is nice, I can parboil a whole chicken before roasting it, without clogging the vent......The complex safety features are kinda tricky to wash, but this is definitely a useful pan; it does a great job of hurry-up cooking. I am at a mile altitude, so a pressure cooker really is needed frequently in my kitchen......Happy cooking, friend, I hope this info helps.Read more11 comment| 79 people found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you?YesNoReport abuse4.0 out of 5 starsWorks great, even for beginnersByB. Peterson March 30, 2009Verified PurchaseThis is my first pressure cooker and it works just fine. I had read a million reviews before finally purchasing one and was a little nervous about all the details and such but I didn't need to be. This is pretty idiot-proof...just put in the food and water, twist on the top, flip the lock and you're good to go!Sure, you do need to check the steam output and lower the heat once it really starts going, but I have found that the worst thing that happens if you don't is that you get a little bit of stuff on the top of the pan as the steam rushes out really fast...nothing you can't just clean off.Also, despite the manual saying to not put in dishwasher, I always do (aside from the gasket) and have had no probs after 4 months.Read more0Comment| 12 people found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you?YesNoReport abuse5.0 out of 5 starsIdeal sizes, saves more time than energyByB. Montgomeryon January 7, 2008I'm very happy with my pressure cookers, purchased a few months ago. I agonized over whether to purchase the 4 quart or 6 quart model, as I wanted both to be able to cook small amounts (e.g. 2 cups of rice) for small meals and larger amounts for dinner parties. This combination set is perfect, as it allows me to do both, without buying two lids and gaskets, and for considerably less than the cost of buying the two separately. I've made batches of beans and grains in the 4-quart pot, and a variety of soups in the 6 quart pot. It's also been great for cooking winter squash in just a few minutes. The pressure cooker is easy to use and easy to clean (& I'm new to pressure cooking), and thus far the gasket has sealed with relative ease. The steaming basket and flimsy trivet aren't ideal, but this is a minor complaint. I had hoped to save on my energy bill by pressure cooking - since food cooks in a fraction of the time, it should only use a fraction of the electricity / gas. I can't say that I've noticed any changes to my electric bill though, because it turns out that energy use for cooking is a relatively small part of overall energy use. According to Natural Resources Canada (from whom information happened to be conveniently available) the average household with an electric stove uses about 775 KWH (kilowatt hours) of electricity for the stove per year. At $0.12 per KWH, that would amount to about $95. Fagor claims that a pressure cooker reduces energy use by 70%. Assuming that you'll actually pressure cook one- fourth of what you cook on a stove-top that would mean that your average yearly savings would be $951/40.70, or about $17. Given that the pressure cooker set costs currently about $120, that means it would take about 7 years to recoup your investment in terms of energy savings (this would change a bit if you take into account that in winter the extra heat from cooking helps to heat the house, and in summer you have to pay twice, once to heat the stove and once to re-cool the kitchen). If you buy a new gasket every couple of years, it come out nearly even. In conclusion, my pressure cookers have allowed me to eat more healthy foods - whole grains, legumes and winter squashes - without spending all day cooking. For that it's a good investment, but not so much to save energy.Read more22 comments| 17 people found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you?YesNoReport abuse4.0 out of 5 starsSplendid PCByRicardo A. Senerison October 13, 2011Verified PurchaseI purchased this set so that I do not have to use my Fagor 10qt Futura on small dish. The Futura is made in Spain and well built and of high quality. The Fagor Splendid, I knew before hand, is made in China. The stainless parts are of high quality like the Futura, in fact, I could not tell the difference in quality. The only thing that bothers me is the regulator itself. It leaks out steam sort of erratically. When it is whistling alot what I do is sort of tap it lightly and it will not whistle as much. I think tapping it sort of seats the regulator properly in place. There maybe a problem in the regulator. I believe the the valve (the one that regulates) may not be seating properly. Inspite of this I am happy with it and I'll just have to use it for awhile before I call Fagor about this issue. If you could afford the Futura I would recommend getting both the 10qt and the 6qt. I wish they would offer Fagor Futura in a 2-in-1 5 piece set like they do on Splendid. I am sure they would sell thousands of them. I hope Fagor gets to read this review. As a side note, I recently purchased an iduction stove (not by Fagor) that will compliment my pressure cookers. I am only giving 4 stars because of the erratic regulator in question.Read more0Comment| 5 people found this helpful.
