I have even baked (steamed) bread in it. Worked great and makes bread with virtually no crust.
Edit (March 2, 2010)
It's been almost a year now since I bought this and am still very happy with it. it gets used probably twice a week. Makes fantastic chili. Cooks brown rice and lentils way faster than regular stovetop cooking. Fantastic for beans. Makes killer potato soup (or potato soup to die for...whatever...very good stuff). I even cooked a ham in it. Also works well for cooking millet and other grains. I can cook whole wheat berries in it in about 20-30 minutes, depending on how firm I want them to be.
The only thing I have run into is that when the little yellow button pops up, it may not quite be up to pressure yet. Give it a few more seconds. This is on an electric stove using the "two burner" method for lowering the temperature once pressure is reached. I have found that sometimes, if I move the cooker to the lower temperature burner too soon, it loses pressure, whereas if I wait just a bit, then move it, it maintians proper pressure.
It also works great for hard boiling eggs. I put them in, cover with water, bring it to pressure, give it a minute or so, then just take it off the burner and let the pressure come down naturally. Once the pressure drops, eggs are done perfectly.
Further Edit (December 13, 2010)
Pressure cooker is still going strong, still seeing a lot of use. I have found that the best way to do this is using a single burner. When the button pops up, just turn down the burner, even tho it is an electric coil type burner, by the time the burner drops to an acceptable level of heat, the PC is at pressure. I dunno as this would work with a smaller cooker.
I've had stuff scorch a couple of times, mostly anything with lots of tomato sauce, so I've learned to be a bit more careful with that.
The gasket is still good. I quit oiling it and it hasn't seemed to make much of a difference, however, I would say that the gasket is getting stiffer and it is probably time for a replacement.
One really nifty thing I discovered (which may not be an original thing), is what I call "pressure smoking". I put some chicken in this thing on a trivet and used an entire 4 oz bottle of liquid smoke for the cooking fluid. WOW! Very yummy chicken. Fork tender and smoke flavored.
November 2012
Pressure cooker still going strong. I use it perhaps twice a week. I am still on the original gasket, even though I bought a replacement "just in case". The gasket works fine, though I notice that after taking the lid off, it sometimes is "stuck" in a compressed state. If I take it out and put it back in (if I am doing something that requires cooking in "stages", it works just fine. I have had no trouble at all with this product.
February 2013
Still doing great. Still using the original gasket. Used it to make some "dulce de leche" in a mere 45 minutes vs 4 hours in a conventional pot on the stove (you boil an unopened can of sweetened condensed milk, turns it into this caramel-like stuff, very tasty).
May 2015.
Started having an issue with the unit not wanting to hold pressure. Figured it was finally time to replace the gasket. This did not, however, fix the issue. Unit comes up to pressure, but it very slowly bleeds off. Am thinking the spring in the pressure regulation knob has something wrong, so am gonna look into replacing it.
Top reviews from other countries
The steel is very nice quality, great finish and easy to clean. So far I've used it to cook brown rice, sweet potatoes, and chickpeas. All turned out perfectly when using the timing guides provided with the cooker. I use the metal folding type of steamer basket, and it fits perfectly inside with lots of surface area for quick and easy cooking.
I previously purchased a cheaper Hawkins pressure cooker and it was awful: the lid was a pain to get on and off, the steam released very violently, and the etchings on the bottom of the pot scratched my glass top stove, which was the major reason I replaced it. I should have known, you get what you pay for, and just bought the Fagor the first time.
the plastic was to rigid. Compare to the Elo company I reordered later and which I had one for 5 years, it was like day and night
quality wise.
Negative side: food discolouration in the inside after using for some time. The fact that it does not get of by cleaning doesn't look good.
