How Fagor pressure cooker works
Dial format with 1-Low and 2-High settings to operate the spring valve mechanism
Pressure is created by boiling a liquid, such as water or broth, inside the closed pressure cooker. The trapped steam increases the internal pressure and allows the temperature to rise.
As the pressure rises, the temperature of the water and steam inside the sealed pot (the pressure cooker) also rises above the normal 100ºC (212ºF) boiling point temperature.
The Fagor Duo pressure cooker line includes different-sized models.
This Fagor pressure cooker also has two pressure settings: low (8psi) for delicate dishes and high (15psi) for hard and tough meats.
1. Two pressure settings in a spring valve mechanism operated by a dial format.
2. Select and set to level 1 (Low 8.5psi) or level 2 (High 15psi).
3. After use, to release pressure select the automatic pressure release position. Select unlock position to remove for cleaning.
4. Visual pressure indicator on handle shows when all pressure has been released from the cooker.
Pressure cooking process is different than any other cooking process. When cooking in a regular pot you can fill it with products and liquids to the brim, but pressure cooker doesn’t allow that. It’s recommended to fill 2/3 part of the pressure cooker.
This Fagor stainless steel pressure cooker has a marked line which indicates how much liquid the cooker can hold.
Fagor 8-quart pressure cooker will hold approximately 6 quarts of fresh products or liquids, 10-quart cooker will hold approximately 7.5 quarts of products. 6 quart cooker will hold approximately 4 quarts of products. 4 qt pressure cooker is suitable for preparing 1-2 servings.
Fagor stainless steel pressure cooker works on all stovetops including induction
This Fagor pressure cooker works on all heat sources including induction.
The base of Fagor pressure cooker has 18/0 magnetic grade of stainless steel layer that doesn’t contain nickel, 18 % of chromium content and 0 % nickel content. Chromium is a hard, rust and corrosion resistant metal. Nickel is a corrosion resistant and shiny metal that enhances the hardness, corrosion and rust resistance of stainless steel, but makes the ferrous content non magnetic.
Due to poor stainless steel conductivity Fagor pressure cookers with 3 ply stainless steel bases have an aluminum core in their bases for even heat distribution with 18/0 magnetic grade stainless steel layer added for induction compatibility.
Remember: In order for pressure cookers to be induction compatible they have to have 18/0 stainless steel or other magnetic metal added into it.
