- Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2009I have had this product for about a month now and am very pleased with it. Cooking times tend to take longer than mentioned in the accompanying books, but still are considerably faster than conventional stove top cooking. I can also cook things that I used to have to do a lot more advanced planning for. I like that I can take meat out of the freezer, partially thaw it enough to brown the outside in the oven, then throw it in the pressure cooker to finish it...and with the same result I get from hours in a crock pot, but with much less time.
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.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2006Size: 6-QuartVerified PurchaseI lost 100 pounds while living in Madrid last year. They use this brand and size, even the 4 quart, alot. I'll explain one recipe quickly as so many Americans are leery of using it. It is so quick and easy to use. My husband is a very happy man with these meals too. It is like a wonderful multi layer flavored stew in just 20 minutes. Briefly: put in 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs & a little olive oil, and brown. Then just leave heat on high or med. and start tossing in your cut up veggies!!! Whatever you like! For chicken, I'll usually clean and chop 2 carrots, 1 small onion, 1/4 to 1/3 cabbage, 2 celery stalks, little less than a teaspoon of garlic from those jars that have the garlic already mushed up, salt (not to much cuz can add more at end), dash of pepper, 1 14 oz. can of diced tomatoes (just to be even quicker), 1/2 to 1 cup of chick stock depending on how "soupy" I want it - which of course can be cooked down (but you MUST have the liquid THIS IS THE KEY); then stir to mix well. THEN put the lid on correctly (easy to do), put dail to "closed lid" sign, put back up on high and wait for little yellow indicator to "pop up" - THEN turn heat to low and set your timer for 20 minutes. (I have an electric stove). It will hiss some but that is normal - remember, healthy, nutritious meal all while using minimal electricity and with these HOT California days it is the best. It is an absolute delight. It is quicker to cook than go out for a meal not to mention how money is to be saved. You could use lower grades of beef too because the pressure is so fabulous. When the timer goes off, turn off stove, and let set to meld flavors even more and when yellow indicator goes down then you can open lid (I like this method cuz it is so tasty). For even better presentation of your dish, when timer goes off just turn dail to the "steam releasing" picture, wait for yellow indicator to go back down and then open. You will see the difference when you try it both methods. This is not the pressure cooker that we in the USA have heard about around WWII; this is the most famous, widely used modern pressure cooker of Spain. Slender healthy women AND definately men too use it on a daily basis in Spain!!!! This pressure cooker has become a staple in my home. Less electricty which is great for my pocket book and the environment, and healthy nutritious meals that retain all the vitamins...well,it's a good thing. (Although, I don't think I have ever seen Martha use a pressure cooker!) Gotta go! Dinner is ready!!!!! Tonight is beef precut into cute little cubes! Yum! :)

- MercedesReviewed in Canada on February 14, 2016
5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE this pressure cooker! Highly recommend.
I absolutely LOVE this pressure cooker. The lid fits securely, it has tons of safety features, it fits perfectly on my burner. At first I thought it was ridiculously wide, but now that I've used it, I realize how much faster that makes it heat up for the same volume. The steam is released very gently while under pressure, and when you need the quick-release, it shoots forwards instead of up like my last model, which freaked me out.
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars gasket was broken within 3 months
I bought this Fagor America Splendid 4-quart pressure cooker in 2015, more than 2 years ago. Its gasket was broken within 3 months after purchase. I was unable to use the pressure cooker since the gasket was broken. Poor product quality.
- Ali-Faizan VirjiReviewed in Canada on August 18, 2014
5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing product, easy to use and does the job well.
Amazing pressure cooker! The meat we cooked was incredibly tender, and it cooked much faster and more evenly than my old pressure cooker. Easy to use, makes a lot of food but does not look as big as it actually is, since the shape is very voluminous.
- AggieReviewed in Canada on September 13, 2015
4.0 out of 5 stars Useful for large quantity cooking
This is a good pressure cooker. We use it to cook large quantities of mostly beans, chickpeas (we don't eat canned beans or chickpeas), and other casserole dishes to freeze and use later. Oh, and we make chicken or beef broth: very effective and the best way to do a homemade broth as it saves a lot of time. The noise from the pressure is not bothering much because you get used to it.
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.
- natlap1966Reviewed in Canada on December 22, 2014
5.0 out of 5 stars If you are looking for a good pressure cooker
This pressure cooker does the job perfectly! For the price... I couldn't ask for more. If you are looking for a good pressure cooker, good price, good quality, this one is for you. It is perfect for me and my husband.
