How much do you know about the amazing benefits of cooking with a stainless steel pressure cooker? It's truly fantastic and it might change your life! No kidding. Let me describe my favorite pressure cooker set: the Fagor pressure cooker set.

Fagor Duo Combi 5-Piece Pressure Cooker Set

This set is made by Fagor and I think that it is probably the best of the Fagors kitchen wares. It is made of a 18/10 stainless steel. On the pictures on the right you can see all the parts.

So, with this set you get TWO pressure cookers: 8 quart and 4 quart size. I personally find this very handy. When you make a dinner for the whole family, the 8 quart is an optimum size. However, when you make either just a quick meal for two or when your dinner consists of foods that need to be prepared separately, then you will really appreciate the 4 quart pressure cooker.You get them both!

The 4-quart pressure cooker can serve as a saucepan as well, when using it with the included glass lid. The bigger 8-quart pressure cooker holds the basket insert with its legs and handle. It is great for draining pasta or steaming vegetables.

The Fagor set comes with a pressure cooker lid that fits both sizes and have ergonomic black handles. Another lid that this set includes is a tempered glass lid which also fits both size pressure cookers. That means whenever you use one size for pressure cooking, the other size can be used for other cooking. Pretty handy right? Both lids also have heat-resistant plastic handles.

The pressure cooker lid has a safety-lock handle, visual pressure indicator, and automatic pressure release setting which means that King Kong himself won't be able to take off the lid! It's that safe!

Another great part of this set is a insert basket for steaming. Just insert it into the pressure cooker and steam your food in no time at all. This basket can also be used for cooking pasta. You see, this set is totally multi-functional.

I know that many people freak out when they think about pressure cookers. You know, things might just jump off in your face! Actually, I used worry about this myself. But the new generation of pressure cookers is COMPLETELY safe! You don't need to worry about unsafe pressure cooking anymore.

Nowadays it's as simple as putting the lid on the pressure cooker effortlessly and lock it with a simple moving switch. When you are done with cooking, wait until it unlocks automatically, then press the switch to unlock and you are done. It is really easy. The Fagor pressure cooker cannot be opened when it is under the pressure.

Now why is using a stainless steel pressure cooker so fantastic?

There are so many benefits of cooking in a pressure cooker that I don't know where to start. Basically, there are 5 main benefits of using a stainless steel pressure cooker:

1. Pressure Cooking Is Healthier

Well, health is a really important to most people so why not to start there. Do you wonder why pressure cooking is healthier then normal cooking?

What makes pressure cooking healthy is steam; all the steam stays inside of the pressure cooker and gets transferred back into the food. So all the moisture from the food, which contains important nutrients (the good stuff!), stays in your food. And also with a pressure cooker you have no chance to burn anything! Unless you magically forget to take it off the fire for a day... :-)

2. Better Taste

The steam is also the main reason why the food is tastier. All the moisture that has the flavour of the food is not running out through the lid but staying in. That is why food cooked with a stainless steel pressure cooker has a nice full flavour.

Also, because the temperature in a pressure cooker is higher then in normal pans, the food gets done quicker and is more delicate. Meat just falls off the bone and pulses get "creamy". Delicious!

3. Time Saving

Cooking with a pressure cooker will save you time as it is much quicker then normal cooking. A pressure cooker has to be heated up as any other cooking ware. The difference is that the temperature inside of the cooker is, and remains much higher then in a normal pan. Result: fast food (that is healthy!)

Chicken falls off the bone in 15 minutes. Stuffed green peppers are done in 5 minutes. Meatloaf in 20 minutes. Kidney beans in less then 10 minutes etc. Use your time better then watching pots and pans on the fire. And pressure cooking is also great for...

4. Energy and Money Saving

As you saw, pressure cooking is quicker so you can spend some quality time with your family or doing whatever you enjoy. But it is also saving energy. Whether you use a gas or electric cooker, with a pressure cooker it will take less time, so you'll use less gas or electricity!

This pressure cooker set allows you to save up to 70 percent of the time and energy traditionally used in cooking rice, meat, and vegetables. Wow. Could you use a few extra dollars in your pocket?

5. Fagor Is Environmentally Friendly

I read the mission statement of Fagor, and it seems that the Fagor pressure cooker fits that perfectly. This is what is says:

According to Fagor, their mission is (quote) "to use resources efficiently, to preserve the environment and save energy, developing highly efficient products that consume less and save money". A worthy cause.

It goes on to say "From a social perspective, Fagor's environmental policy strategy offers advantages to both workers and consumers. It provides workers with environmentally-appropriate working conditions, which, among other benefits, minimizes and eliminates the handling of hazardous materials, while for consumers, the end-users of Fagor's products and services, it allows for efficient use of the appliances, which reduces energy and water consumption". 

So Fagor looks after you and after its workers. I like that a lot.

6. (Yes, a bonus!) There is one more little benefit, a bonus benefit if you like! The Fagor Pressure Cooker is suitable for dishwashers. Phew...I can hear the relief :-)
