I got myself a Fissler pressure cooker about 4 years ago. The best cooking appliance in my kitchen by a mile

@leslieridenour2734 3 года назад

I have the 8 qt Fissler, German made one from Williams Sonoma and I too love it. Going to use it tonight to make Butter Chicken recipe!

@c_farther5208 4 года назад

Fagor isn't what it used to be, sent mine back and got a Presto. Oh my gosh, I am so happy with it. Got the latest one. Customer support was really excellent when I had a question and you can get parts easily. I love the 6 quart, always had the 8 quart but the 6 quart is nice and straight and handles everything I used to put in the 8 quart. p.s. I always spray in the inside before I use it and after it is washed, I put a little olive oil on a paper towel and wipe it shiny. I just needed to share that for some reason.

@renzoqu Год назад

Fagor was a basque company, where im from. After the 2008 crisis they bankrupt, and they closed. They sold their brand, but as you said, they arent the same company anymore.

@seikibrian8641 9 лет назад

So, based on ATK's advice, I bought the "Best Buy" Fagor Duo 8-quart when it went on sale for less than $100. I picked it up today, and I can hardly wait to start using it. A quick function test showed everything to be working correctly, and just about fool-proof to operate. I didn't see (or I forgot) that it includes a steamer basket and "trivet" to raise the basket above the water, and I suspect I'll be using that as often as anything else. Thanks ATK.

@TheIkaika777 4 года назад

I love my Kuhn Rikon 7.4 qt pressure cooker. Best pressure cookers on the market and mine is still going strong after 11 years.

@markfrank0924 2 года назад

Thank you for the review. I was looking to buy one and knew I did not want it occupying the counter full time. I also wanted to use the pot for general non-pressure cooking. I settled on the Fissler which you mentioned came in number one in your test. I so much appreciate the no-nonsense review and element of science used in discussing the importance of achieving and maintaining pressure. This is the third product I've purchased based on your testing, in each case, I have been pleased with my (our) purchase decision. Thank you for the invaluable service. I'm a devoted admirer and would not consider buying something that was not on your list.

@jasoncarrie-annbreitkreuz4927 2 года назад

@sudarsanam6984 8 лет назад

Very Clear explanation of what is expected and what is NOT expected from a pressure cooker. another good aspect is, though this video reviews the pressure cookers available in American market, the principles explained applies to all pressure cookers available in other markets. Thanks

I trust this lady; I've taken her advice before. She knows what she is doing and a professional. Wish I would have watched this before. I bought the anotized steel that is suppose to be stick free, but nope, it's not. It was easier to wash my mom's old aluminum and no soaking.

@ottokirpitnik7841 10 лет назад

For most cooks the well priced American made Presto stainless steel pressure cooker works very well. It reaches the necessary 15psi and is cheaper than all others except maybe the Indian made cooker. My mother used a Canadian made aluminium 6 qt Presto for over 40 years. I recently replaced the seals and the pressure regulator which had developed legs and walked away and still use it for non acid foods.

@ariespain6472 2 года назад

She's very well informed! You could tell they really tested all of these cookers

@papapap2 Год назад

Fagor shut down and the best buy now links to presto. Not sure if amazon is randomly suggesting an alternative or if atk updated the link. Another comment says the new best buy is from Zavor, a rebrand of Fagor.

@tommeyers974 Год назад

Waiting on delivery of 10qt Zavor EZLock for small canning projects.

@rr3775 7 лет назад

The best pressure cookers are sold in Indian grocery stores and on Amazon. It's called "Prestige" and made of pure heavy stainless steel. I bought myn for $40. It makes "whistling" noises each time pressure is let out. Each dish has a specific number of these "whistles" before you turn off the stove. It is super handy and the quality is fantastic.

@wholeNwon 6 лет назад

I have an Indian unit, too, have used it for at least 14 years and remains excellent. India may be the largest maker of PCs in the world.

@buybestproducts5735 6 лет назад

@discolore 5 лет назад

I had a Fagor and when I took the lid off, I tended to gently place it upside down on the counter. What else would one do with it? So in a month or so the knob broke off. I exchanged it for another one. Same thing happened! I will go with the Presto next time.

@pleabargain 11 лет назад

My go to press cooker is a Magefesa had it over 35 years and works flawless and also appears as the safest sealing method in the industry. I tried the electric ones they dont appeal to me.

@bigstick5278 7 лет назад

I found a perfectly good stainless SEB Pressure cooker in a dumpster behind a thrift store. Just needed a full cleaning and an overhaul, the gasket pulled and cleaned. I have been using it at least three to four times a year for the last two years. Bean and ham soup, pot roast Pork and cabbage with sour kraut potatoes and carrots Yum!! I like throwing some turnips in my CB&C!

@wholeNwon 6 лет назад

Yup. It's amazing how often really good units turn up at thrift stores, etc.

Don't know how I lived without this for so long! I make dog food for 2 of our dogs ru-vid.comUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg (we have 5!) and it is so much quicker in this. Love having the inner pot stainless so I can use my immersion blender right in it without worrying about scratching. It makes potatoes great and fast! Still working on the vegetables, first time came out great, second time I did different ones and they were a little too mushy. Just need to adjust the time. I highly recommend this pot!!!

@roberts459 6 лет назад

I have the Fargor Duo 8 Quart and 4 Quart, got them both second hand and yes they are the made in Spain versions. I couldn't live without either one, next on my list is a pressure canner but wow those are pricey.

@wholeNwon 5 лет назад

Not at all. I've seen aluminum pressure canners on Amazon for very reasonable prices. If you're going to be doing any significant amount of canning, I'd recommend avoiding the very heavy aluminum models...usually without gaskets and multiple screw clamps. They take far too long for pressure to drop so your recycling times are very long. That's important. They are also very heavy.

@LaraineAnne 8 лет назад

I bought the smallest Fagor Duo. I think that's 4 quarts. It was made in Spain. Many people consider this size useless, but they are wrong. If there are only two of you and/or you have arthritic hands you do NOT want to have to lift anything bigger. So take these facts into consideration. I consider a pressure cooker an absolute must for making soup. It is worth having a pressure cooker if you do nothing but make soup in it. Nothing makes soup stock like a pressure cooker. And once the vegetables are added it's only a matter of minutes and I have the most delicious soup imaginable. You can't buy canned soup that's even half as good as what you make yourself. Chicken soup and ciabatta bread for lunch anyone? :-)

@bonzaibb12 8 лет назад

+Laraine Anne Barker Love the soup tip. I make my own and can't wait to taste the difference. I normally spend 10 hours to get every bit of flavor out of a large chicken.

@VeganPatriot 8 лет назад

+Laraine Ann Barker I think smaller pressure cookers are great! They reach pressure really quick and therefore finish cooking much faster. I often use more than one pressure cooker at a time and if you are used to that kind of cooking it really helps to have different size pots

@misunflowerstyle906 7 лет назад

me too! it is a day project with homemade noodles. One time, i rushed it to a fraction of the time, maybe an hour.and a half in a regular pot...tasted like eh.

@helpfulnatural 6 лет назад

Laraine Anne Barker; I agree. I just purchased the 4 qt Fagor Elite pressure cooker and so far I love it! It's the perfect size for 2 people. has 2 pressure settings and I love how Fagor makes the 4 qt pots low and wide rather than tall and skinny. Very easy to use and wow, does it come to pressure fast! I have a 6 and 10 qt also which of course take longer to do this. I steamed baby potatoes in it in just 5 minutes. VERY useful in my kitchen! :)

Found one called: Tefal Secure 5 pressure-cooker really cheap in my home town, does any kind soul on here happen to know if that is a good purchase? It´s only 6 liters but on the other hand we are just 2 persons here as well. I am a bit suspect towards the brand "Tefal" and really want one of those really old cookers preferably but all used I can find are way more expensive. They sure knew how to make things back then and they made em to last!

@leaguefan3186 8 лет назад

could you guys do an updated review for electric pressure cookers? including the Instant Pot IP-DUO60 7-in-1 and the pressure cooker xl, thanks.

@9999plato 5 лет назад

@mellowman1001 Anybody who makes a pressure cooker explode either uses an aincent one from the 50s or doesnt know how to use it. End of story. They are incredibly simple. NO pressure cooker should be filled above the manufacturers recomedation (around 3/4). Since they all have redudnant safeties I can only guess the pot was filled too high for the type of food, the pressure bleed and safety became cloged with food and gunk, pressure was too high (should only need the absolutely lowest heat once at pressure) and she blew. No amount of safety engineering can overcome misuse.

@Nocturne22 5 лет назад

They did test the electric ones: they all failed. Too small, cheaply made, and uneven cooking.

@williamlaird2136 4 года назад

Why bother? I have used stove top pressure cookers for over 60 years. You can't fix stupid. Don't blame the device for operator error. One time, in all the years that included many years in a commercial kitchen, did we ever have an incident. The safety features in the stove top pressure cooker worked perfectly. One of our employees over filled a bean recipe and the beans clogged the pressure regulator. The safety plug did what it is designed to do and we had a bean painted ceiling. Did not think it was funny at the time but my Dad and I still laugh at the mess it made. Can pressure cookers be dangerous? Only at the Boston Marathon.

@MrChriskep1 Год назад

Why wont my Fagor Duo pressurize!!? I got one for Christmas and it worked ok for a while but very hard to get it to pressurize. Not the gasket, it's the chincy plastic pressure control letting out too much steam. Finally it blew a hole through the handel when i tried holding it down to pressurize. Just try finding a replacement part! My last pressure cooker with the weight regulator was still going strong when the kids got me this new one. I unfortunately threw it out! arghh! Later I got my daughter a pressure cooker not realizing it was the same company as mine and the damn thing has not worked once right out of the box. Same issue wont pressurize.

@greenmarine5 7 лет назад

Presto IMO makes the Best Pressure cooker, Mine was handed down to me from my mother 20 years ago and she had it for 30 years before that, 10 years before I was born. My wife bought a 22 Qt. pressure cooker from Presto for canning 3 months ago and it is the same quality as the one my Mother gave me. Very heavy gauge stainless steel and the seals are easy to find if you ever need to replace them. They aren't cheap the 22 Qt. I believe was just over 200 USD. But it will last a life time and then some they are the Lamborghini of pressure cooking.

@elciscozamora 7 лет назад

cool I just bought one also in a yard sale.. it's huge.. have to replace the rubber seal.. but looks good for ten bucks

@wholeNwon 6 лет назад

Our family have used pressure cookers for 4 generations and currently have several stove-top models in various sizes and a few electrics that we use much less frequently. In fact, some lima bean soup is cooking in one now, as I type. That particular unit is from India (Manttra I think), was VERY inexpensive and has worked well for at least 14 years. I prefer units with a weight pressure regulator. There will be no variation in pressure as when a spring ages and they are very easy to adjust so that just a little steam escapes continuously....really fool-proof. Cleanup is easy, too, with no regulating device to disassemble. Obviously, for canning, the unit MUST reach a full 15psi. It's always best to use a cooker that is especially designed for pressure canning and to follow the latest DOA advice for food safety. There is absolutely no reason to spend a lot of money for a great pressure cooker and lots of reasons not to.

@frankconnors9497 5 лет назад

This is an OUTSTANDING review by Ms McManus! Thank You!

@mediaguardian 2 года назад

@reymarie2 7 лет назад

Hi! I want to know please about the Fagor duo 10 quart if it is as good as the 8 quart just for cooking, like 5 pound of meat with bone for example, if it is still recomended better or same as the 8qt. Thank you.

@uppityglivestockian 7 лет назад

A pressure cooker makes intensely flavorful fast food. The most important rule to remember is to let it stop making noise before opening. You can speed up the cool down by putting it under running tap water but it must be quiet and cooled. My ex failed to follow those very simple instructions while I was still at the office. Bean Wallpaper. Har. But no one died, nothing went ballistic, no eyes were put out.

@9999plato 5 лет назад

Good thing that is an EX, sounds like you ditched a moron there.

@enliteneer 11 лет назад

I like the Advanced BRK Pressure Cookers, but what about those 1.5L (Hawkins Classic) mini pressure cookers?

@LibertarianNexus 8 лет назад

The 8 quart Presto is good, (I own one), but the stainless is a little thin and has a tendency to burn food on the bottom. With a Presto, you have to keep flame at medium when brining to pressure and at VERY low to keep at pressure or you'll burn thick sauces. I think the Fargor 8 quart is better as it uses thicker-gauge stainless steel.. The MIU 8 quart Professional is also wonderful and uses thicker gauge stainless than the Presto. Both the Fargor and MIU are about $40 more expensive, but they're worth just a little more money.

@madthumbs1564 6 лет назад

'VERY low to keep at pressure' - You're seriously complaining about saving time and heat energy? I've never burned food in my Presto; it's you; not the pot!

I've canned in them and made your Farmhouse Chicken Noodle soup in the 8qt. They work PHENOMENALLY! I was also gifted a Presto 16qt Pressure Cooker/Canner..GREAT for all the canning I do....I think I'll stick with these.

@pollyfoofoo8703 5 лет назад

@AndreyK415 7 лет назад

Hold on a second there, regarding your pressure cooker temperature readings. Did you test one cooker at a time or all at the same time? Gas pressure varies, and if you have a busy kitchen at your studio, people are turning burners on and off at various times thus affecting the heat source for each measurement.

@9999plato 5 лет назад

They are meticulous about their testing.

@acejenkins80 6 лет назад

It would be nice to see how the viking and the all clad hold up to the competition. Not sure if they were part of the test. I believe they are made in America also. Thanks, hoping to buy a pressure cooker soon!

@madthumbs1564 6 лет назад

I love All-Clad for frying or: (anything that lets food cook w/o stir / agitation/ boiling / etc), but I don't believe in sticking with it for all things.You're gonna pay more for the name if you go that route.

@jumperchu 9 лет назад

the one they recommended is the same one used by Everyday Food that Sarah Carey uses

@deewells1965 6 лет назад

So, since you brought it up, which one was the top model that was the only one that attained top pressure? You claim Fissler was your favorite, but was it also the top model? Also, do any of these come with canning inserts?

@wholeNwon 6 лет назад

Yes, but you'd probably be better off with a cheap canner, such as Presto, that is designed specifically for canning. These usually have both weight regulators and gauges.

@milagritosdejo8001 Год назад

Since I understand Savor is the new Fargo, I was checking were to get it here in California and checking some reviews, sadly they are not really good, which makes me wonder now what brand I have to get😳 Helpppp!!

@ashokamistic 3 года назад

In Indian cooking there are many items that needs pressure cooker to be cooked. Indian used pressure cooker in their kitchen on daily basis. In this test they have not tested Indian cookers, they will be at the top of the list if tested. Like Hawkins 8L cooker can be used for life time no needs any experience to use.

@bigheartedgal833 5 лет назад

Great video!

@bc1969214 11 лет назад

Yes, but check the instructions. For example, the Fagor one states: NOTE TO ELECTRIC STOVE USERS Since the coils on an electric stove retain heat for a long time, food often becomes overcooked when the burner is turned down for simmering (when cooking time is started). To compensate for that, you have two options: more detail than can be posted here

@9999plato 5 лет назад

I have had no problems. I use med to high heat to get pressure though I find it best to get your food cooking to a high simmer with the lid OFF. Then add the lid, heat to get to pressure and roll the temperature to the lowest setting on the large burner ring. The food cooks perfectly and I lose NO steam from my Fissler pressure cooker at 15 lbs pressure.

@rottenvlogger4564 6 лет назад

I purchased the fagor duo 8 quart after watching this video and doing some research. I cooked with it 7-8 times and now it doesn't hold pressure at the valve anymore. I've replaced the valve twice to see if it would fix the issue, and contacted Fagor. All they did was apologize and send another replacement valve, that still diddnt fix the issue. They are a waste of money long term, diddnt even last a year... My cheap aluminum presto lasted longer.....

A simple weight pressure regulator is best...fool-proof.

Cheap crap. Should have bought the Fissler. A THICK bottom that is the full with of the base, incredibly well built, super safe, cannot be opened till pressure iis zero. Worth the price. They guarantee that all parts (all seals wear) will be available for purchase for at least 10 years even if they discontinue any model. I have seen numerous complaints about Fagor. Sorry to say, you get what you pay for. The Fissler loses no steam vapor when set correctly.

Up until one year ago, I was still using my mother's 1950's aluminum pressure cooker. It made the most delicious stews and soups. I now have an electric and other than the ability to walk away, my 60 year old pressure cooker was infinitely better.
