The 4-quart pressure cooker doubles as a saucepan, when used with the included glass lid, while the 8-quart cooker holds the handy basket insert, with its legs and handle, great for draining pasta or steaming vegetables. Fagor constructs the cookers of 18/10 stainless steel, the handles of black heat-resistant plastic, and the lid of tempered glass. A safety-lock handle, visual pressure indicator, and automatic pressure release setting ensure the lid won't come off unintentionally. The dial format of the spring-type mechanism means you can change the setting without changing valves. A recipe book is included, and all parts except the pressure lid are dishwasher-safe. Founded in Spain, Fagor manufactures home appliances and cookware with a "green" focus on environmentally-sound working conditions for employees and energy efficiency for consumers. In Europe, Fagor holds environmental stewardship awards, and in the U. S. is a participant in the Energy Star program, a government-backed program to help protect the environment.

Everyone is looking for fast and healthy meal solutions these days, and the tried and true pressure cooker is still one of the speediest, most energy efficient, and low-fat ways to cook. This model from Chef's Design promises to cook food up to four times faster than other methods while using up to 40-percent less energy. And, with its lid locked on tight, this pressure cooker retains food's vital minerals and vitamins while producing flavorful meals. The cooker is made of brilliantly polished 18/10 stainless steel and has an encapsulated base made from an aluminum/steel alloy to promote even cooking and to allow use with any type of cooktop: gas, electric, ceramic, or induction. This gigantic 10-3/10-quart size cooks mammoth portions of lentils or rice to feed to a crowd or freeze for later. But lest folks think that pressure cookers are only for making vegetarian foods, the included recipe guide sets the record straight with complete instructions on how to cook delicious carnivorous treats, such as herb-roasted chicken or meatball stew. For operation, the lid easily twists into place and secures with a safety lock. A valve on top of the handle emits steam when the pressure cooker's contents begin to heat up, signaling that the heat should be lowered and kept at a simmer for the duration of cooking. Two interchangeable valves are packaged with this cooker for regular or high pressure cooking. Four independent safety systems regulate the pressure and prevent the cooker from exploding throughout the kitchen. Included with this cooker is a perforated stainless-steel steamer basket for steaming fish or poaching fruit, a stainless-steel trivet for elevating the basket, and a steel rod for cleaning the valves. Additionally, the cooker comes with a vented tempered glass lid so it can be used as a regular stockpot. The manufacturer provides a 10-year limited warranty on this pressure cooker. -Cristina Vaamonde.
