I have a cook-rite pressure cooker(PAT. No. 202590) but no instruction book. I cannot find even a listing for this company! Im a first time user of a pressure cooker. Can anyone help me out and tell me my first steps in using it? I usually use a water bath, but my garden has grown and would like to use it for other veggies... Any help will be appriciated!

Fagor cookers what order are the models?

feeds@yuku.com (arwenmark) — Thu, 14 May 2009 06:42:49 GMT

can anyone list the order of their lines for me, for instance which line it top of the line then on down? Is it the same as it is listed on the Fagoramerica.com website?

Also there appear to be almost no difference between some models other then the color of the slide button, are there other differences? I know one line has a different shape but the others look alike to me.

advantages to buying small/ WMF max psi/pip accessory/new cook's illustrated article for you

feeds@yuku.com (forrest) — Tue, 12 May 2009 18:56:15 GMT

Hi, I have been reading on this site that WMF only goes to 10 psi, and did a little digging on that. I believe that is for a lower setting or something, as every source (not including this site) says they are 15, and this well written article from pressure cooker world rates them at a whopping 21.76! https://www.pressurecooke...ront/-1/article/4849717/ Hopefully this is something...

sbs gourmet vitesse cooker

feeds@yuku.com (ginnysmith) — Tue, 12 May 2009 12:49:05 GMT

Hi, my father in law recently gave us his old german sbs cookers. I was wondering if anyone had any idea about them and general principles of using them? They are in perfect condition but I have only tried cooking vegetables so far, which went well.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Bravetti Euro Pro

feeds@yuku.com (bilcooper) — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 11:32:27 GMT

I bought one of these pressure cookers and did nothing with it for a year. It only has food specific settings including soup. would you happen to know if the soup setting is under pressure or not? I'm in the middle of making potato leek soup, but I don't know if it should be under pressure, which how I'm doing it today.

I already have the Bravetti but treated myself to a Wolfgang Puck 7 qt model since it was larger and came with inserts to do desserts. I've just ordered your book, Vickie and am looking forward to reading and doing some recipes!

Lamacom T22/06A ?

Hi there. First post. We bought a morrocan-made pressure cooker and I'm just wondering what the pressure setting is set at. It's capacity is 5.5 liters. Can I assume it's 15psi? It was brand-new, but it's old-school - thick aluminum, some serious latches, and no settings or anything. If anyone speaks French and is able to contact them, that would be great too! Thanks.

Presto vs ?

feeds@yuku.com (beaddiva) — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 15:21:55 GMT

I have used my old aluminum Presto for 42 years and now need to update. I see brand names that I never heard of before. Presto used to be "the one" to have. Can you bring this grandma up to date?

MAGEFESA PRACTIKA

feeds@yuku.com (fermented) — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 20:21:05 GMT

I love my Magefesa--got the "Plus Trio". It is made in Spain and is very sturdy. I did a lot of research before buying. The only negative element is the instruction manual. I think Europeans just have more experience and maybe don't need the extra info that I needed. All I knew were my grandmother's scary canning PCs. So I called the company and talked to Alex. He said they are in the process of rewriting the manual and also putting together some recipes. He promised...

Fissler Blue Point

feeds@yuku.com (krizem) — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 02:33:19 GMT

Just seeing what other think of these Fissler Blue Point pressure cookers... there is one on sale near me at a good price but I don't think
Its 15 psi wich is a bit strange for something that costs even more then a Kuhn Rikon.....
I cant seem to buy Kuhn rikon or Fagor locally and would like to buy through a local shop for the service

Any ideas?
And no I cant order online

Induction usable PC's

feeds@yuku.com (morganism) — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 14:37:52 GMT

How about making a sticky of PC's that work with Induction cooktops.

I thought 18/10 stainless WOULDN"T work, but it appears it is for some.

will try with my Manttra, will be a blessing if it does, my old electric is fussy and off temp. (nope, got the hard anodized. love it too)

PRESSURE COOKER HEAVEN

feeds@yuku.com (emazingrace) — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 22:37:56 GMT

My Christmas present to myself, a Fagor Splendid 10 quart stainless steel pressure cooker arrived this past Saturday, and I have enjoyed it several times already. It is a joy to use. It came with the instruction manual as well as a nice recipe book and an informative DVD, showing how to use the pressure cooker. One comment regarding the DVD, however: The demonstrators say to begin the cooking time when the yellow pin pops up. However, this is incorrect. The yellow pin indicates...

Coated pressure cooker

feeds@yuku.com (mmdarden) — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 09:25:39 GMT

I was looking for a Fagor pressure cooker and found one with a great online price from (http://www.heartlandameri...18&SC=WIB20001&#) and I wanted to make sure it was not teflon coated. I called them and spoke with a representative and specifically asked if it was coated. She did not know but asked her supervisor and I was told that in California they would have to disclose...

Fagor Splendid 10qt pressure cooker

Good news for anyone who has been wanting a stainless steel pressure cooker this size!! I have been contemplating this purchase for quite a while, as I am an avid pressure cooker user, and have often needed a larger than 8qt size. Having finally made up my mind, I used Miss Vickie's link to Amazon today with the intention of purchasing this PC for around $77.99 with free...

PC that is not non-stick?

feeds@yuku.com (cgt) — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 14:46:14 GMT

I'm looking for a stainless steel pressure cooker that is affordable without a non-stick coating.
Does Fagor make one?
Any suggestions?

Fagor Rapida

feeds@yuku.com (mass spec) — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 21:28:19 GMT

What can you (anyone) tell me about how Rapida fits into the Fagor product line?

The Fagor USA website lists it as the most basic model, but it looks to me like the features are identical to the other single-pressure models. Is there some quality difference between this model and the other single-pressure models? (I realize that there is a slight difference in the shape of the pot.)

Thanks.

Fagor made in China?

feeds@yuku.com (vliz) — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 10:08:44 GMT

Hi! I'm new to these pressure cooking thing. I'm trying to buy a birthday gift for my mom. She had a very old presto pressure cooker and I want to replace it with a new one. I've decided to buy a Fagor Duo Combi and when I went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond, all I can find is the one Made in China. I've found some Made in Spain in the internet.. Anyone knows the difference between these 2? Which one is better?

Where is Fagor Made ? China or Spain ?

feeds@yuku.com (timp) — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 13:43:36 GMT

I always thought that the Fagor pressure cookers were manufacured in Spain. All the advertisements used to say that.

I bought a Combi Duo set and ti comes with an 8qt Duo cooker and it says "Made in Spain" on the bottom of the cooker.

I bought a 10qt cooker separatelt and it does NOT say made in Spain on it.

Plus, the 8 qt is actually HEAVIER than the 10 qt cooker.

What the heck ? Should I be returning the 10qt Duo and start searching for...
