Its 21-1/2-quart capacity holds 19 pint jars or 7 quart jars. A three-setting pressure regulator valve is included, and the pressure gauge gives a clear reading.

Kuhn Rikon 6-Piece Duromatic Duo Pressure Cooker Set

Kuhn Rikon 6-Piece Duromatic Duo Pressure Cooker Set Review

Kuhn Rikon 6-Piece Duromatic Duo Pressure Cooker Set Feature

• Set comprises 5-1/4-quart pressure cooker and 2-1/8-quart pressure fry pan
• Quickly and healthfully cook foods under steam pressure with little liquid
• Pressure lid and glass lid interchange between 18/10 stainless-steel pans
• Two pressure-release valves and pressure indicator; instruction booklet and recipes
• Saves time and 70 percent of energy normally consumed while cooking

Splendid examples of why modern, safe pressure cookers are popular with contemporary cooks, the 5-1/4-quart pressure cooker and 2-1/8-quart pressure frying pan in this set quickly and healthfully cook foods with trapped steam at temperatures higher than boiling. Two lids, which fit both pans, are included--the pressure lid and a glass lid--so one pan can be used to cook under pressure while the other is used conventionally. Made of heavyweight, mirror-finish, 18/10 stainless steel, each pan has two handles and an aluminum disk sandwiched in stainless steel in its bottom to quickly and uniformly conduct heat.

Using a pressure cooker saves time and 70 percent of the energy normally consumed while cooking. Pressure-cooking requires little water so nutrients, flavor, and color are not boiled away. Vegetables emerge vibrantly colored. Stews, soups, beans, even meat loaf and pork chops and desserts like bread pudding come out tasty and nutritious. (A detailed instruction booklet containing dozens of recipes is included.) Meats can be browned before the pressure lid is locked on. The pressure lid's valve stem shows high and low pressure so heat can be adjusted for different foods. After cooking, pressure can be reduced slowly (by just letting the cooker sit a while), normally (by pressing the pressure indicator), or quickly (by running tepid water on the lid's rim).

Safety measures abound for the pressure lid. A silicone gasket ensures a tight seal. A vent releases steam if pressure builds too high, as does a valve that also locks the lid when any pressure whatsoever is inside the cooker. Cleanup is a bit involved. The pans, gasket, and lid require hand washing, and the gasket needs a light oiling. Normally, the valve is self-cleaning, but if food passes through it disassembly is required. Save energy, essential nutrients and your schedule. Cook high-fiber, low-fat meals in about a third of the time with the Duromatic Duo Pressure Cooker Set. It's safe and efficient, thanks to the integrated lid-locking system and 5 safety steam-release systems. The 5.25-qt. Duromatic Body and 2.1-qt. Frypan Body are crafted of 18/10 stainless steel with solid thermal aluminum cores to absorb heat rapidly and cook evenly. The innovative spring-loaded precision valve on the Pressure Lid (fits both units) makes it easy to accurately cook meats, vegetables and even desserts. Includes glass lid (fits both units), stainless steel trivet, cookbook and menu planner..

Fagor 10-Inch Silicon Gasket

Fagor 10-Inch Silicon Gasket Review

Fagor 10-Inch Silicon Gasket Feature

• 10-inch silicon replacement gasket
• Fits only Fagor 8- and 10-quart pressure cookers
• Creates a constant tight seal
• Replace every 12-18 months when elasticity is lost
• Wash before initial use

A soft, pliable gasket is a necessity for keeping a pressure cooker operating safely. When a gasket becomes worn or dried out, steam may begin to escape and won't build up properly. This ten-inch silicon gasket is designed specifically for Fagor eight- and ten-quart pressure cookers, and is not intended for use with any other brand. The gasket should be washed in warm, soapy water and rinsed thoroughly before initial use. Suggested replacement is every 12 to 18 months. --Ann Bieri A gasket's primary purpose is to create a constant tight seal. Over time a gasket can dry out and lose its elasticity. If you notice this happening, replace the gasket immediately. A worn out gasket can lead to steam not building up, or worse, escaping from your cooker.
