A revolution in standard pressure cooking - two pressure settings and an automatic pressure release position are the latest innovations, while ergonomically designed handles make this cooker comfortable and easy-to-use. Manufacturer's ten-year warranty.
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

 "Not what was advertised." 2010-07-28
By Anthony
We just received our Fagor 6 qt pressure cooker and frankly we are very displeased. First it was advertised as having been made in Spain. The box it came in said it was made in China. We do not buy Chinese made products as we do not trust that they are safe to use. Second the basket that came with the products was about an inch high. We felt that the basket should have been considerably bigger, based on the one that was shown with another product. How do we return this to you? Advise asap!!!


 "New to pressure cooking" 2010-03-21
By Sunflower (Minnesota)
I bought this for myself for Christmas.After researching about 4-5 brands - Kuhn Rikon, Chef's Design, Fissler and Fagor and its many styles, I chose the Duo-6 Qt.
I was a little timid at first, not understanding the importance of getting the food cooking on high and then turning it down to medium heat. Once I got the technique down, I have been creating my own recipes and feeling more confident.
I am delighted with the Fagor and look forward to using it for many years to come.


 "Good quality purchase" 2010-02-20
By Diane E. Emich
I purchased this model after reviewing many products on-line. I am pleased with the pressure cooker. The recipe and directions DVD that was included in the package was quite helpful. I have not used pressure cookers before, but found this product attractive, easy to clean, a decent buy, and one that delivers what it promises. I am thinking of buying another smaller pressure cooker from Fagor.
My only caveat is to pressure cookers overall. If you are trying to simplify your pre-dinner hours, this is not the product that will help. The cooking is quick, but you are doing the job in the hour immediately before dinner, as opposed to a slow cooker, where the prep is all in the a.m. and all you do at dinner time is set the food on the table.


 "Makes Me Smile" 2010-02-06
By Bobby Keene (Atlanta, GA USA)
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2ERYRPNOATBDD The pressure cooker caught my eye after watching Iron Chef. I too wanted to cook faster with awesome results. This pressure cooker does that. I am amazed by the variety and possibilities the device has opened up to me. Potato Soup in five minutes, chicken stock in under 20 and stuff cabbages that are out of this world; all brimming with big flavor.

My recommendation is to buy it. I could not substantiate handles breaking or any failings from a cooking or manufacturing stand point. The pot is solid. It is super easy to use and seems as safe as any other pot. Check out the vid review to see it for yourself.

Verdict: BUY


 "Great replacement" 2009-12-24
By Ken N. (Crofton, MD)
The Fagor Duo is a replacement of my first cooker. The old one was made of aluminum and had a "jiggler" for pressure settings which are inferior. I'm impressed of the quality of materials of this product. My only gripe is when I brown (searing) a roast, the clean up takes a little more effort in scrubbing because of the interior lining.
