Some qualities that kept it in the top for so long are delicious and healthy meals cooked in record time with ease. Safety features of every Fagor pressure cooker are what makes it so attractive and long lasting. Locking handle will prevent opening under pressure while spring valve with an auto pressure release will get rid of the extra pressure that can be built up in the cooker. These safety mechanisms are necessity which should be a standard for all pressure cookers out there.

Quality of the pressure cooker parts is what puts Fagor ahead of other manufacturers. Exterior mirror finish and a high gauge stainless steel with aluminum base gives fantastic heat distribution to their Fagor pressure cookers.

Some advantages concerning safety are that all models contain three safety mechanisms that allow steam to escape when over-pressurizing happens. This means that the lids will not open at all until steam has dissipated and pressure has been released.

Be aware that most Fagor pressure cookers come with a trivet and a steamer basket. Trivet is usually placed to the bottom of Fagor pressure cooker while the steamer basket is on the top. We use basket for steaming foods without putting them into the cooking liquid. You probably know this is very useful for steaming all sorts of vegetables. Basket never comes in contact with any liquid.

To build the pressure in the cooker, cooking liquid must be brought to a boiling point while lid is positioned and locked into place. While the cooking liquid boils, steam is being produced in a Fagor pressure cooker. Steam will then build up the pressure because it can't escape from the pot. Then the pressure regulator valve will activate and release the steam when necessary. To release the pressure, remove the pressure cooker from the burner. But be aware that the contents will continue to cook until the temperature and level of pressure drop.

If your Fagor pressure cooker is not building up pressure, it probably isn't properly closed, there isn't enough cooking liquid or you didn't heated the cooker enough.

You will know that you have a good cooking pressure when the regulator valve is rising and showing maximum pressure, there will be a hissing sound coming out of the pressure cooker and a steam will escape from the valve. There are three ways of releasing pressure in a Fagor pressure cooker. Natural method - means you will let the temperature drop easily while your food is inside, being cooked slowly. Cold water - means you will put some cold water on the lid to release the pressure. Automatic release - all Fagor models have valves that will release the pressure so you dont need to put them under cold water.
