Summary: Not what I am used to
Comment: I am used to a pressure cooker that I could hear the regulator rocking from the pressure to let me know that it is cooking correctly; therefore, I scorched and overcooked food because I was expecting to hear the regulator. If that part wouldn't bother you, it would probably be fine. I am sending mine back.

Summary: Made in china
Comment: First I guess my biggest dsappointment was that this item is made in China. I am trying to avoid items made in China. Fagor advertises their
product is European made in Spain. Secondly the instrucitons say to put olive oil on the seal. Well the day I put olive oil on the seal it burnt
so I need to replace it after only 5 uses. I am still debating whether
it is worth the extra money to constantly replace seals. Maybe I will just use it as a sauce pan for I do have a lid that fits. Haven't decided yet. Money is tight. Otherwise it did cook the items fast
but don't think it is worth the extra money to replace seals all the time.

Summary: Fagor vs Presto
Comment: 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.

Summary: Nice
Comment: The pressure maintains nicely without the old "jiggler". I wish it would have come with a rack and steamer unit.

Summary: NOT YOUR GRANDMOTHER'S PRESSURE COOKER
Comment: Though I am a pretty basic cook (I can boil water; scrambled eggs are my specialty), the fear that many people have of pressure cookers should be laid to rest with this Fagor. Once you get the hang of it, cooking is as simple as putting all in the pot, closing it, making sure the dial is pointed to "cook" and the lid snap is closed, putting it on the heat and wait for the little yellow bobbie thing to pop up so you can turn down the heat and start your timer. If there's too much steam this mighty device releases it safely. Even I can do it! Some foods are easier than others, but if you want to create a quick, healthy chicken soup, this is your weapon!
