Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Fagor Pressure Cooker. We appreciate the confidence you have placed in our company by selecting one of our many pressure cookers. We are confident that the pressure cooker will give you many years of excellent service.

Surrounded by endless myths, pressure cookers are probably the least understood of cookware. This is unfortunate since pressure cookers provide many advantages over traditional cooking. First and foremost, most foods can be cooked in a fraction of the time, in most cases up to one third of the time. Since the food is being cooked for such a shorter period, it is less likely to lose its color and flavor, as well as vital minerals and vitamins that are normally evaporated or diluted when cooking in large quantities of water, for longer periods of time. Made from high-quality, heavy-gauge stainless steel, Fagor pressure cookers are manufactured and designed with a concern for function and safety, meeting all international safety standards. Fagor’s easy-to-use pressure regulators make it simpler than ever to determine the proper amount of pressure and how to maintain it. The pressure release valves signal when to lower or raise the burner heat in order to maintain the desired level of pressure. We know that once you begin using your Fagor Pressure Cooker, you’ll understand why it is the single most important piece of cookware you’ll ever own.

Today people are more conscious of the food and products they consume that affect the environment. Fagor recognizes consumer demand for more eco-friendly products and manufacturing processes. Fagor pressure cookers are made of partially recycled stainless steel and are polished using only mechanical procedures instead of chemical. In addition to being manufactured in a more environmentally respectful way, pressure cookers save you energy in the kitchen too. Compared to traditional cooking methods, cooking with a pressure cooker saves up to 70% cooking time. And less time spent cooking means less energy used, and less heat produced in the kitchen. Also, cooking at high temperatures and high speed retains essential vitamins and nutrients, bringing you healthier meals. Using Fagor pressure cookers will not only make a difference in your health, but a difference in our world. This may be the most efficient piece of cookware in your kitchen.

Before you begin cooking, it is important that you read this detailed user’s manual and make sure you understand how to operate, care and maintain your Fagor Pressure Cooker so that you will be able to enjoy many years of use.
